APEC Water Systems Ultimate High-Output Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System – Supreme Certified, Ultra-Safe, and Fast Flow.

Ken J: The RO system itself is quite good. Package arrived in good shape and the items were well packed.

Unfortunately the tank it came with failed after about 3 weeks. The internal air bladder broke and it doesn’t hold air anymore.

Also, beware that the included faucet has a 1/4 inch hose permanently attached to it. The system is advertised as 3/8 inch fast flow. This change appears to have been made recently as the installation manual shows a 3/8 connection. This was disappointing and I ended up ordering the same faucet separately from amazon that has the 3/8 connection.

chirschirs: Was a pretty straight forward install. The water when i tested it initailly was coming out at 27ppm but after a day of use its now at a steady 14ppm. Ive had it about a week and its been great. First time installing a water system for, im pretty handy but i think just about anyone could install this with the right tools. Watet also tatses great, freash crisp tatse. You can see in the photos its pretty sleek. Leaves a lot of room left for other essentials. If anything changes ill update this review, but so far i recomend it.

NorthernDad: Long story short, it is all hooked up and it works - but it came with a broken fitting and the company's solution is for me to take it all down, and send it back to amazon and order another one!
I just found a compatible part and ordered it myself.
We bought this as R.O. is the only feasible way to remove salt from water, and our well water is pretty salty (nearly 3%!).
In taste tests, this water tastes better than the drinking water we've been buying at the store.

Kajamai: Overall, I am very pleased with this system. After flushing 3 times, it reduced the reading on our TDS meter from 58 PPM to 1 PPM. I also noticed an improvement in taste compared to the refrigerator filter. It seems that there may be a very subtle difference in water texture...perhaps a little more slippery, but I haven't identified the exact difference.

The engineers for Hydroviv actually recommended APEC as a preferred system, even though they are considered competitors.

Customer service was excellent and timely.

The speed of the flow was worth the extra cost to us. The flow rate is definitely faster than the refrigerator. It will make using filtered water for cooking a breeze. I have used reverse osmosis systems that seem to take forever to fill a cup of water. That is not the case at all with this system.

Installation was not easy, but it is manageable if you have someone in the household with maintenance experience. The manual was OK, but could use some improvement (with concise wording in some sections, more detail in other sections, and improved grammar and wording for clarity). The color picture that showed an overview of the entire setup was...

Amazon Customer: Great customer service. Comes with clear instructions. Had one issue with a leak but a quick phone call resolved the issue. Time will tell on how the system and filters hold up but pretty happy so far. Would recommend.

David Vachitis: After years of using a filtering water pitcher, I decided to install an RO system. My only reason for doing so was to have the convenience of basically unlimited filtered water without having to fill a pitcher several times a day. I really thought the quality of the pitcher-filtered water was good. Was I ever wrong! I didn't know what I was missing. The APEC RO-HI system produces the cleanest, best-tasting water I've ever had, hands-down.

I decided on the top-of-the-line RO-HI model because it had excellent reviews and wasn't that much more expensive than the more basic models. The RO-HI consists of five filter units: 1) a sediment pre-filter, 2&3): carbon pre-filters, 4) the RO unit, and 5) a post-filter. There is also a pre-pressurized storage tank, which is nominally 5 gallons but its actual capacity will depend on your incoming water pressure.

The instructions are extremely well-written and easy to follow. If you aren't at least moderately handy, though, consider hiring a plumber: this is a fairly complex system with a lot to consider when installing it. For example, the manufacturer suggests installing the unit under the kitchen sink, but if you do that, you...

Joseph: I bought two units, one for my family and the other for my daughters family. I had a GE smart water system for over 10 years and replaced it with APEC - RO-Hi Supreme system. It is working fine. It was installed few weeks ago. It is too early to rate accurately. So far working well.
It is an obligation and responsibility to support a product which meets or exceed the expectations.
