There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Setting up the APEC RO System was a breeze, even for someone with minimal plumbing experience like me. The instructions were clear and the design was intuitive. In no time, it was up and running, providing my family with exceptionally pure water.
The heart of this system is its reverse osmosis technology. It employs a multi-stage filtration process that thoroughly eliminates contaminants and impurities, offering a level of water quality that's immediately noticeable. The water tastes incredibly clean and fresh.
The design of the system is as impressive as its functionality. It's compact, fitting easily into various kitchen spaces, and includes an integrated storage tank for a constant supply of purified water. Maintenance is also straightforward, with easily replaceable filters that keep the system at peak performance.
Every glass of water from the APEC System is a testament to its quality, with clear and pure water that exceeds expectations.
In conclusion, the APEC Reverse Osmosis Water System is a paragon of water purification excellence. It's simple to install, utilizes advanced reverse osmosis technology, and delivers unparalleled performance. It's an essential for anyone seeking the best quality water, earning its 5-star rating through exceptional functionality and value.
Its been a nightmare. On any given day the water will come out of the faucet either smelling strongly of Chlorine, or smelling like a dirty fish tank!
3 of us have horrible reactions to the hard, chlorinated water. We break out in painful rashes and blisters! But I digress...
Our APEC RO filtration system has helped so much! I installed it under our kitchen sink. Now we can cook and wash our hands with clean water! Even when we wash dishes we give everything a rinse with the RO water afterwards and its been helping prevent our dishes from smelling like a wet dog after they dry.
We bottle it and add minerals for drinking and making espresso and tea! I swear they both come out MUCH better with the mineralized RO water.
Someday I would like to upgrade our system and get the remineralization cartridge that APEC also makes. We couldn't afford it at the time, but it would be nice to not need to keep buying mineral additive drops.
The RO water comes out so clean and fresh tasting! We prefer to drink higher PH water, which is also why we treat the water we bottle for drinking purposes.
Im happy to say that when i use a 16 panel water testing kit, the RO filtered water is MUCH better! No lead, no chlorine, flouride or those disgusting Nitrates and Nitrites. Hardness and PH are much better too. It definitely works and has helped put us a little more at ease. Honestly we want to get a filtration system for our entire house, because our local monopolized water company doesn't want to do anything about the problems with our water quality! That will likely be our next step to make our family safer, because we still have major problems with our showers and laundry because of our terrible water.
Were really grateful to APEC for making us feel a bit safer in our own home. Their customer service has been friendly too. These units periodically go on sale and are definitely worth buying one then, if affording one at full price is difficult for some(I know its hard for us. We'd already have a whole home system installed if we could).
The kit was relatively easy to install. Id like to note that if you're not comfortable with drilling a hole into the downstem for the drainage, you can purchase a new, flexible replacement that has a built-in nozzle that you can attach the drainage line from the RO system to. We got one at Home Depot. It was very inexpensive. Its called the SNAPPYTRAP. Ive included a photo of that as well. Its worked great so far with 0 leaks! Our old downstem actually corroded away and broke, which is why we went the replacement route instead of drilling the hole and mounting the bracket included in the RO kit.
We're very pleased with our system so far. And it seems like the maintenance is fairly inexpensive. 2 of the cartridges only need to be replaced every 2-4 years and the 3 large filters get replaced every year. Its about $70 on here for a full replacement kit that includes all 5 filters. And it's about $30 if you want to just replace the 3 large filters. I'll definitely update my review if any problems come up down the line, but we installed ours several months ago and it's been great!

Where I live, we have "city water", but that's really a community well. The water here is EXTREMELY hard. The last time I had it tested to size out a water softener, I was hovering around 30 grains per gallon (that's about three times what the WQA considers "very hard water"). There's tons of sediment, too. At the tap, using my trusty water tester , we're hovering in the neighborhood of 600 ppm. Not "that one time I used a glass that I wasn't sure was clean, and got 571 ppm" but "in new, plastic cups rinsed with distilled water, the readings are between 590 and 630." Not surprisingly, the net result is that the water tastes gross.
If you don't want to read the entire review, here's what you need: this filter turns 600 ppm water into 10 ppm water. Ten. One, zero.
Anyway, I had gone the Primo water route for years (a water cooler with bottles you exchange at Kroger / Walmart / etc.) but got really tired of lugging 40 gallons of water around every time I went to the store. And when I did the math, my almost top-of-the-line Ultimate RO-PERM filter by APEC was going to pay for itself in about six month's time, versus what I was paying for Primo water every month (not even factoring in gas and time involved in getting the bottles).
Then we had a PFAS scare. The river just yards from the municipal water supply was found to be contaminated with PFAS. That's "Don't eat the fish, and if you decide to swim and accidentally swallow some water, you'll get sick" contaminated. Testing was done on the municipal supply, and it was deemed safe. Let me pause here. I live in Michigan. I don't live in or near Flint, but I'm willing to bet you've heard of it, and that the state said their water was safe, too. And I'm like a level 1 still on the training level conspiracy theorist.
I decided I wanted to have a second RO system on the second floor bathroom. My family tends to spend a fair amount of time upstairs, and I thought it would be good for brushing teeth, and so on. As much as I love the Ultimate RO-PERM, I was kind of skeptical about the Essence series. It was cheaper, but the specs seemed to be similar (minus the permeate pump and associated output). Turns out, the biggest difference is that the Ultimate series filters are all made in the USA and WQA certified. The Essence series has imported filters, and APEC seems to have skipped passing on the cost of WQA certification. Side by side, you can't really tell the filters apart, other than looking at the labels to see where they came from. As far as I can tell, the quality is the same. And what's more, the parts are interchangeable, so if you want to "upgrade" the Essence series by replacing the filters with the American-made Ultimate filters, you can.
But as far as TDS, both filters appear to be equally effective!
Installation -- just like my first system -- was dead simple. Turn off the cold water, take off the compression fitting to your faucet, install the adapter (there are several different configurations that should work for just about anybody, included in the package) put your faucet on the adapter, drill a hole for the new RO faucet (difficult on steel, super easy on laminate / composite surfaces), drill a hole for the waste water, tighten your fittings, connect some push-in PEX lines, and you're done.
I'll say this: the first time I installed one, I was feeling really overwhelmed before I started, took a crazy amount of time in unnecessary prep and caution, and had no trouble whatsoever. After I was done, it was so easy, I was offering to help friends and family. Installing this one took me maybe 30 minutes, most of which was spent making a small modification.
So, basic installation doesn't get easier, quality is excellent, and oh by the way, their customer support is awesome. I had a reservoir lose pressure, but initially I couldn't figure out if it was a problem with the filter or something else. They responded to e-mail super fast, we determined what the problem was, the troubleshooting steps were easy, and when we figured out a part needed to be replaced, there wasn't even the slightest pushback about just sending me a whole new reservoir. Thinking about an RO system? Buy it. Have a few bucks more / want to buy American? Get the Ultimate series instead.
NOW... I know this is wordy. If you don't care about pressure, efficiency, or the modification I made, skip the rest of this.
I decided this specific system was going to go in my basement. I've got different projects I work on in the basement, including indoor gardening. Lugging bottles around for water changes isn't the most fun thing in the world, and heavily softened water with 600 ppm is just not going to work for gardening. I already ran a bunch of PEX down there to install my whole-house humidifier last year, so I knew adding another RO filter was going to be a cinch. But... I also knew the pressure on that line was low, and didn't like the idea of creating so much wastewater.
Enter the permeate pump ! I wanted maximum pressure and regeneration on my Ultimate filter, so buying the version with the permeate pump was overkill on my part. But in the basement on the low-pressure line, it was useful. Permeate pumps also increase efficiency by something like 80% and reduce wastewater discharge by over 50%. Not everyone needs one, but you might for pressure. Or, you might want one for efficiency and / or reducing water usage.
I'm pleased to say with that pump, Essence ROES-50 performs like an absolute champ on a low-pressure line. All I did was tee off the water line to my humidifier, add a shutoff, and extend the waste line a bit to go to a floor drain. The manifold on this filter is metal, so drilling through it was a tiny challenge (we're talking maybe three or four minutes) but adding the clamp for the pump and rerouting the connections from the auto shutoff took just minutes. Almost everything you need (depending on the length of PEX you need if you're extending a feed line or drain) can be found in this kit for less than you'd pay for a tee and a shutoff valve at any home improvement store.
TOTAL installation from box to modification to making clean water was about 30 minutes. And after filling, flushing, and filling, now I have 10 ppm water in my basement, too.
I adore this system, and wouldn't even consider buying from another company. If you're not going for an Ultimate system, don't mess around with the cheaper lookalike brands on Amazon. Go with an APEC and enjoy clean water from a solid system, from a company that's still going to be around when you need to change your filters.

Definitely recommend this one! Don't buy any cheap garbage made in China!
This made the installation a very dificult procedure as all our water cables cannot be pierced and I had to look a day or 2 for a working custom model. Could not find.
This is why I am writing this review, to ask you kindly if you know how I can get "Feed water adaptor 3/8" - 1/2" with needle valve kit"
