  • Sweet spot for quality and price
The APEC Top Tier 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis system delivers on it's most important function - clean, good tasting water, and it does it at great value. This is a six month review. This 5-stage system includes 1 pre-filter, 2 particulate filters, and 2 micro filters. This gives it large capacity for cleaning silty water, while providing a high-level of purifying for harmful contaminates. The installation materials are comprehensive, and give you all the items needed to install under your sink. It is a moderate difficulty home-owner level install. Figure 2+/- hours if your are replacing a current system, and up to 4 if it's a new install. You will need only basic tools. The exception is if you need to drill a hole in your counter to install the small faucet. That may require special hole saws depending on your counter top material. The actual unit is very compact, and I managed to wedge in between my garbage disposal and cabinet wall (see picture). I saved water from our old 3-stage system, and compared taste and quality to the new APEC 5-stage system. All of the family agreed the this APEC system delivered superior taste, and higher flow rate. The water was visibly clearer. My experience with a family of 4, and a reverse osmosis system servicing a counter faucet AND the refrigerator ice/water dispenser is that the main large particulate filters last about a year. So I suggest buying a complete set of all 5 filters, plus additional large particulate filters when you purchase the unit. Having these spares on hand will let you get in the habit of changing them regularly. The included faucet is a solid upgrade over the older style we were using. It's solid, and easy to clean. Flow rate is better than expected. All of the included polyhose is color-coded and connects without tools. The supplied pressure tank can be installed upright or on its side. The included installation materials have water and drain taps used to integrate into your existing supply and drain with minimal fuss. PROS: 1) Great value. The price is only slightly more than the cost of buying three replacement filters for an older 3-stage system. 2) Purification level exceeded my expectations. Great tasting water. Like it actually tastes good, maybe even Fiji Water good. 3) Everything (and I mean everything) needed for installation is included. Competent home-owner installation. 4) Very compact unit. Fits in the tightest of spaces. CONS: 1) You may need special hole saw tools to install the supplied faucet in your counter top. 2) Expect to lie on your back, under your sink cabinet, and fight for room between drains, sink bowls, and garbage disposals. Some nimbleness is needed. ... show more

  • I've got one on every floor!
"You have one on every floor?" Yes. I have three APEC RO filters, and I love them all. Let me explain: 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. ... show more

  • Excellent as is - even better with a permeate pump
Purchased this from the Amazon Warehouse, so it was a very good deal for a solid system. I installed the components in cheap plastic tubs (with an alarm), in case of leaks. After 3 years of continuous use everything is dry, and that includes annual filter changes and the addition of an Aquatec ERP-500 Permeate Pump. I only wish I had installed the permeate pump sooner as it makes the system much more efficient and produces a noticeable increase in clean-water (permeate) pressure. I regularly use a TDS meter (Digital Total Dissolved Solids Water Hardness Test Meter ) to evaluate the water and results are typically in the under-15-area as opposed to my water-softened tap water supply, which runs in the 300+ range (which is fine for "softened" water). The water tastes great and is excellent for any cleaning purpose where you do not want any scale residue and don't need gallons of water. I use this water to spray down some fancy glass we have outside and the glass is left spot-free as opposed to being covered with white spots from our very hard outside water. ... show more

  • Worth It
It does take a little time to setup and have everything where and how you want it. But I use this everyday and love it. My pets now only drink purified water and they both actually lost a few pounds and are very active. I also make my own ice and in the picture the one on the left is tap water and the right is the purified water. I am very happy with this unit. Do your own research on restoring good minerals back into the water though, I am still working on that. ... show more
