APEX 5-Stage Mineral Cartridge Countertop Water Filter - Best Alkaline Filtration System for Quality Drinking Water

P D: Super easy install! Run cold water thru for, I did 10 min. I wanted to take tower apart to make sure filter wasn't wrapped. Very hard time unscrewing top from bottom. Researched. Soak in hot water and white vinegar for full 10 minutes. Came right undone. Nothing but filter inside. Put back together. Delicious water, very simple install.

a7h13f: I bought this unit, and was absolutely enjoying it with no issues until it came time to replace the filter. I was unable to remove the filter from the housing, despite watching several youtube videos on the process. I reached out to support and they were prompt to ship me a new housing unit. Setting up the new unit was an easy and painless process.

The water tastes great, completely eliminating the problem I was having with my tap water. The support team was friendly and quick to resolve my issue. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a water filtration system that doesn't require a plumber to install!

JT: I live in a pre-war apartment building. Even though our city water is rated best in the country, it gets heavily tainted with metals as soon as it enters our building. Our shower has blue and red stains from the drips in our water, so I was concerned about us drinking it. When my partner moved in, he would bulk buy alkaline water bottles. These were $5 a pop and a knew there was a cheaper and greener way to get better quality water. So I did my research and found this countertop filter. I wanted something easy to install in a rental kitchen, something that filtered/ alkalized the water and something they didn’t take forever to work. I had a big name brand filter and it would run like a coffee maker. Took 10 minutes to fill up a jug sometimes.

Setting this unit up took under 10 minutes. The water flow was fast enough to fill a glass of water in under 10 seconds. When I poured a glass of this water and a glass of normal tap for my boyfriend to blind taste test, all he did was sniff both cups and instantly said “this is the filtered one. I can tell”. He was right!

After switching to this water, I no longer have a weird taste in my water. My hydro flask also no...

Dolls by Dotti: I have only been using my filter for about a week, but I really like it. Initially, I was running the APEX filtered water through my older Brita pitcher with the Wamery alkaline filter because the water does not appear to be very alkaline. The unfiltered water from my faucet is neutral at a pH of 7.2, and sometimes the water through the filter is only 7.2 - 7.8, less than I prefer. I decided to stop filtering the APEX water through the Brita because I didn't want to filter out the small amount of Calcium coming through the APEX Alkaline filter. I now let the water filter for about two minutes before I use it to get the best alkalinity I can get. I was slow to try the alkaline water, but once I tried it I decided to continue using it because I noticed some change in how I feel, and my body was extremely acidic when tested. Of course the body quickly adjusts to keep the pH within the body in a therapeutic range, but I feel the alkaline water helps to buffer a too acidic system. Using a filter is also more cost-effective than buying alkaline water. I purchased glass bottles to drink my water from when on the run. I wish the filtered water was more alkaline, but I like the filter and...

LPG: Awesome Filter!! The water comes out really fast and it was easy to install. The cord took some maneuvering to get it out of the way but other than that no problems, no leaks and no awful NJ water taste. Our water would grow cultures just standing for a day or so. I've used Pur, Culligan and Brita filters but they required replacements every 2 months at least due to the quality of the water we have and the taste was always sub par. So we bought bottled water for everything including filtered water fountains for the cats along with bottled water for them, they refused to drink the filtered tap water to the point of getting UTIs. I discovered high PH water a few months ago (my friends consider me a Water Critic) and after buying cases of it, felt great physically but hated myself financially and environmentally. This water filter was the answer to my quest. After reading the reviews and seeing the comparisons of it to other filters, I took a chance and for the past month this filter has been the best. Tastes great and filters the water quickly. I haven't done the PH water test yet, but I will do it to compare it to my bottled high PH water Essentia (which is the best on the market...
