APEC Water Systems Ultimate RO-Hi Top Tier Supreme Certified High Output Fast Flow Ultra Safe Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System, 90 GPD

The APEC Water Systems Ultimate RO-System is perfect for my needs and I am 100% pleased with it This is a top tier state of the art fast flow product. My granite counter tops were the tricky part because the faucet hole couldn't be drilled until they were fully glued together. We used a 1 3/8" bit to drill out the holes for the soap dispenser, the air switch for the garbage disposal, the RO faucet, and the faucet for the instant hot water heater. As soon as I purchased the RO system I was going to do these upgrades all at once. There was only one bit that created all those holes. It drilled holes of the same size and diamond A line from the RO to the instant hot water heater (InSinkErator HOT150 Instant Hot Water Dispenser System) had to be run under the house from the kitchen sink to the kitchen island sink, which was also the most difficult part. With those things aside, I found installing the RO system to be fairly straightforward. They were very well written and included a rendering to illustrate what was to be done. There is a bronze finish on all my plumbing fixtures, and it is oil rubbed. I bought this faucet because oil-rubbed bronze finish faucets weren't readily available at the time I purchased it, so I sanded it down and properly painted it. This looks great and goes well with the rest of the set. It was not a big deal to paint, and I had that part done in about an hour, leaving it to dry overnight. As I was choosing a RO system, I was aware that TDS meters were virtually useless, but despite that, I bought a TDS meter nonetheless because I had no other testing device available. As you can see from the picture below, these were the tests I did to test the water from the worst to the best TDS reading.

Tap A Brita filter pitcher with a TDS value of 38 The Dasini brand of bottled water has 30 TDS Adding the 22 TDSA to the RO system and using the hot water heater The TDS of the RO system is 4 I was able to check the TDS in the above water samples after they had reached room temperature, took those measurements, and let them sit for an hour in between. With one exception, the readings for this meter were all close to that of the bench, so I'd say it was pretty accurate for what it did. After installing, I found 3 leaks, but as someone who has done quite a bit of plumbing work over the years, I know that it is important to check for leaks after installation, and even Not overtightening them will prevent them from breaking or stripping. If you don't tighten it enough and the container leaks That's what I did, just tighten up the screws). It is repeatedly mentioned in instructions that you ought to check for leaks also. Since I have never owned an RO system before, I'm not able to compare it to anything else, but I'm glad I purchased the fast flow RO system. There's a lot of water that comes out at once. fill my 32 ounce water bottle up within 13 seconds (I have 120 PSI at my house, which may have something to do with it). The RO system has removed most potential contaminants from the water, so I've done some reading about adding back some minerals to the water for better hydration, and I'll look into a cartridge to add electrolytes to help rehydrate the water now that most contaminants have been removed. Overall, the results are as follows This system has been very helpful to me. My set-up is complete and I am ready to go. I will watch to see if anything goes wrong with this RO system over time and will update if anything happens. It is a system you can trust!.

The first thing I want to say is that I am very observant about quality products, or the lack thereof. Let me now share my initial thoughts about the filter as soon as I opened it. i thought the housings for the filters felt pretty beefy. they were somewhat difficult to thread, but otherwise the filter felt good and had a good feel. If I upgrade to a bigger septic tank, I will save more money. In my conversation with Apec customer service, I learned where to find Having good knowledge and being She was friendly and well spoken, and was happy to spend all the time I needed to fully address Having spoken with Jennifer, I was impressed with her. I find that to be a very valuable attribute. We are glad to be able to support Apec because it is an established American company. There will be updates from time to time and I will answer questions from all over the world. I have had no problems with the filter or faucet so far. As a result, my water jugs fill up faster than the 5 gallon dispenser I had been using. I prefer spending a bit more upfront on a filter that I will be able to use for years to come, rather than paying a lot more down the road.

Here is the second RO system from APEC that we have installed. Recently, we bought a new home, so instead of tearing down the existing RO, we decided to buy a new As part of the purchase of the new system, we chose the High Output Fast Flow version (the previous system was basic). This is what we use when filling up our coffee pots or water pitchers, and it is well worth it for faster flow. Fast Flow enables the same level of performance as Fast Flow. As a result of our new RO system, we are getting only 7 PPM TDS from tap water that has 145 PPM TDS. The current reduction of TDS is comparable to what we used to achieve. Amazon was chosen over the manufacturer because shipping on this product was free and customer service was excellent on Amazon. We were very pleased with the product and Amazon's.

The new RO unit has a higher water flow than the previous one. It's nice that your faucet looks great It is very easy to use the manual. I found working under the sink to be the toughest part of the install. Everything under there needs to be cleaned out. You should install your garbage disposal on the opposite side from your faucet. It will be much easier for you to access information It should also be installed with enough slack in the lines so it can be completely pulled Then you can remove the filters by disconnecting the water line and putting it in the sink.

This is my first of these and I am loving it. I bought one after recommendation from a friend. My first idea was to hire someone to get it installed since I am no where near handy to do any of the jobs around There are on-screen instructions, but they do NOT have to be on the screen The point of the use case is OK (at least for me). My kitchen sink was installed under it. It took me three hours to complete the installation. Basically, you just need to read the manual, follow the instructions step by step, and go by the word of mouth. The only obstacle is that you have to be flexible if you are putting it under your sink because you spend an hour in there installing and tightening everything. You can contact customer care if you need assistance. They are very helpful and patient. I'm pretty sure you can install it too if even a couch potato like me can do it.
