APEC Water Systems ROES-PH75 6-Stage Ultra Safe Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System with Alkaline Mineral pH+ 75 GPD & Top Tier Essence Series Technology

Dawn Martin: We absolutely love this RO unit. Trying to drink water away from home with any other type of filter is terrible. This makes such a big difference for us. I feel better knowing that my family is drinking clean water and using this water to cook as well.

W. Jagels: Turns the nasty city water into water that I would consider better than bottled. Great for cooking, doesn't leave hard water spots after evaporating. You don't have to drill a hole in your sink drain, just buy a 'drain line adapter' to combine your dishwasher drain with the RO reject drain. Think about it, do you really want to drill a hole in a drain pipe? Had the system professionally installed which is not necessary but it's nice to have someone else to blame if there's a leak. Installation cost slightly more than the hardware.

Stop buying bottled water, get an RO system. There's nothing more convenient than having endless tasty water straight from the tap.

Ethan RoederEthan Roeder: Lots of reviews rave about how dead simple the install is. Don't believe it. It's an involved process. You can do it yourself for sure, just don't go in with unrealistic expectations.

I decided to install in the basement because it does take up a lot of space. Had to buy some extra tubing. I also wanted to run a line to the ice maker so that required another trip to the hardware store for various connectors.

After the install I found I had to cycle the tank three full times to clear the system of little bits of filter fuzz and other debris (instructions call for only cycling the tank once).

Results are excellent. My wife and I did a blind taste test comparing the RO filtered water to a pitcher-style filter (think Britta) and straight tap (Baltimore). We both correctly identified all three. The RO filtered water tastes lighter - it's very noticeable. Very pleased!

John Bligh Nutting: This unit was replacing my previous 25 year old reverse osmoses system so all the fittings were already in place., Twenty minutes work to replace the tank, hook up the pipes and it was running. Water tastes even better than it did with the old unit but total Dissolved Solids are a bit higher because this one adds calcium at the end.

N. Khadka: Awesome filter . using it on a old 50 year house with awful smelling water on copper pipes. I used a plumber to install and he was able to use the supplied manuals to read installation. Also able to use most of the parts supplied but plumber used AU standards plumbing connections to drain which feels more hygienic than using the stock drilled fitment. has to be drained a fair around 20 mins in startup to clean the cloudy water from the remineralization stage. I also paid extra to connect it to fridge water/ice dispenser. Only downside is I paid more price for it and it is cheaper now in amazon

Val Z.: I was researching a long time about RO systems, which to buy and which would have a better taste in water quality... We used to buy water from Canadian Tire, and it was amazing quality water... BUT I didn't like the fact that we always had to carry bottles into the house and store them and change out bottles. After that we switched to Zero Water Filtration system for our water cooler. It fit our water cooler perfectly and worked a long time, until one day the cooler broke and started leaking all over our kitchen floor. So I was on the search for a replacement. Then I came across this unit! What an amazing quality RO System this unit is! Absolutely loving it. Would definitely recommend it anyone who is looking to replace it for bottled water. It's easy to install, all the lines are color coded and the water tastes amazing. I would never purchase anything else. APEC Water Systems are made in the USA!!! Top quality, excellent tasting water, good value for your money! What more do you want? Buy it, enjoy it. It's amazing!
Definitely recommend this one! Don't buy any cheap garbage made in China!

Maria Czesznak: My husband was able to install it, but a few times he had to empty the tank as it was slowly leaking on the top.
I actually tested the water and it us not alkaline. It is around 4.5. The water from the fridge is more alkaline .... I was hopi g for at least around ph 7 but certainly for 4..5

JeansJeans: My Friend helped me to install it in 30 mins. He has experience installed a similar product before.
Basically no extra tool is needed. All in one package.
The only thing I dont have a answer is it took a while to come out clear water. I left it on for abt 15 mins each time for abt 10 times in couple days. Water still come very unclear. It looked like there were a lot of white particles in it. I didn't want to use the water since the original water wasnt like that. I only use it to wash stuff but not drinking it. After almost a month( m consumption of water is really low since I rarely cook and I couldnt drink plant water due to pregnancy, I consumed less than a Littre of water everyday). Water started to come clear and now it always comes clear.
In term of the taste of the water, I dont notice a big difference.

Rob: Up until the pandemic, we had been using a large volume of bottled water every week. Since it has become risky to return to the store every time we are out of water, it seemed logical that a reverse osmosis system would mitigate that risk. Installation of the APEC system was not difficult, and I spread the work out over two afternoons. The first afternoon was spent boring a hole in our granite countertop. I used a Milwaukee 1" diamond hole saw purchased at our local home improvement store. I followed the recommendations found on YouTube for boring granite. I made a circular well around the drill site with plumbers putty to hold cooling water for the hole saw. This worked out well in terms of eliminating all of the granite dust and in keeping the hole saw cool. In keeping with the hole saw directions, the hole was started by boring at a 45 degree angle until the hole saw caught the granite. Then, the hole saw was carefully raised to vertical to complete the boring operation. The 1" hole was barely large enough to accommodate the air gap faucet that I purchased to replace the faucet that was supplied with the APEC RO unit. I would recommend boring a 1 1/4" hole. The faucet that I...

Michael G.Michael G.: This product literally changed my life! Back in the day I had to go the rite aid on a monthly basis, find Poland Spring boxes, haul them home in the trunk of my car, carry them to the second floor. Then same thing over and over again every month, carrying 5-6 boxes of Poland Spring up the stairs to the second floor. Also, I became a bit concerned with the fact that I throw out more than 100 plastic bottles per month. That is when I started doing my research. At first, I wanted to go with a BRITA pitcher (or PUR) but then after doing so much research I came to realization that those filters do make tap water better, but still not healthy enough for me and especially for my newborn. At first, under sink water systems were out of the question for me because I did not want to deal with finding a plumber, doing major plumbing overhaul in the house which I rent and pay top dollar for this. I was very fortunate to stumble upon this product and after reading all of the reviews I am very happy that I purchased it.

The item comes in a big white box labeled APEC. Unboxing it was fairly easy so no need to write too much about it. The top layer of the package consists of 3 filters, then...
