    Very nice RO system.
    4 Stars
    Very nice RO system.
    After repeated pinhole leaks in our 50 year old plumbing, we recently re-piped our entire home with new copper pipe. We also added a water softener and whole-house catalytic carbon filter (primarily to remove chlorine) and the APEC RO-Hi system for our drinking/cooking water. We added a 6th stage calcium carbonate cartridge (APEC's PHPLUSKIT-38) to the 5-stage APEC RO-Hi system to add back some of the "healthy" minerals removed by the water softener.We are extremely pleased with the quality and taste of the drinking water produced by the APEC RO-Hi system. We also ran a line from the APEC RO-Hi to our icemaker and our ice cubes are crystal clear. Total dissolved solids (TDS) in the drinking water from the APEC RO-Hi system are 14 ppm, versus 135 ppm in our regular tap water.As shown in the attached photo, we mounted the APEC RO-Hi system in our basement, immediately below our kitchen sink, where it is easily accessible to check the various water line connections and change filters. Had we mounted the APEC RO-Hi system under our kitchen sink, it would have been much more of a chore to change filters (think hands and knees with head in a cabinet vs standing up in your basement) and the RO system would take up most of the space under the kitchen sink, where, like many people, we have a garbage can and store dish soap, dishwasher pods, scrub brushes, sponges, etc. Mounting the APEC RO-Hi system in the basement also allows one to place a bucket under the unit when changing filters to catch the water that will inevitably spill out when the filter housings are removed. We would strongly recommend mounting the system in a basement if possible.Our only reason for a 4-star (vs 5-star) review is we had to purchase additional tubing for the drain line and water line to the drinking faucet. The 5 ft. lengths of tubing included with the APEC RO-Hi system are not long enough for any location other than under the sink. Given that many people choose to mount the APEC RO-Hi system in their basement, rather than under a sink, we feel APEC should provide tubing in 10 ft. lengths, rather than 5 ft. lengths (especially given the cost of this unit, which is at the high end).Some installation tips:When attaching the Stage 1-3 filter housings, do not overtighten them. Overtightening the housings will compress the rubber gaskets, preventing them from sealing properly and result in leaking.When removing the Stage 1-3 filter housings, open the drinking water faucet to release the pressure in the system. Releasing the pressure in the system makes removing the housings easier. Of course, the water supply to the system should be turned off when changing filters.When connecting tubing to the push-to-connect fittings, make sure the tube is fully inserted. The tube should go in about half an inch or so, and you should hear and feel the tube pop in when it is fully inserted. If the tubing only goes in a little bit, and you don't feel it pop in, it is not fully inserted. We were surprised how much force it took to push the tubing all the way in to the push-to-connect fittings. We initially had a couple leaks at the push-to-connect fittings, but once we removed the tubes and reinserted them all the way in we have not had any leaks.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really helping my family with our atrocious public water supply problems!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2021
    My family household consists of 4 Disabled/chronically ill/elderly people. We've all been suffering from our atrocious public water supply, which is not only off the charts in hardness and poor ph levels, but we've had tests reveal all sorts of NASTIES in our water. Nitrates and Nitrites, and even our unfriendly neighborhood toxin LEAD!
    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!
