## Description

The APEC 3 stage water filtration system delivers clean filtered water at an affordable price. This complete 3-stage water filter system is made from high Caliber components to offer long-lasting, reliable performance. The three premium quality filters lasts over 12 months for fewer filter change outs and high performance. This system provides a continuous on demand supply of quality filtered water directly to your tap. 1st stage: high-grade 10 inch high-capacity polypropylene sediment filter -removes dirt, particles, and rust. 100% pure polypropylene depth filter with exceptional dirt-holding capacity translates to longer life and fewer change-outs than existing string-wound or resin-bonded filters. 2nd stage: premium extruded carbon block 10 inch -gets rid of unpleasant chlorine, tastes, odors, cloudiness and colors. Also removes vocs and other common impurities from the water. 3rd stage: premium extruded carbon block 10 inch - further removes chlorine, tastes, odors, and other common impurities from the water to provide great filtered water.

Review: Best deal for the bucks - Update one and a half years later: 1st stage filter: We use at least 10 gallons and at most 30 gallons per day for the entire household. This is to clean prepped and final rinse ingredients, and drinking and cooking water. After a year, the 1st stage sediment filter I replaced was only half spent based on the color and condition depicted by the manufacturer's info. Our municipal water supply is clean to some level, but delivery pipelines tend to make things dirty along the way. I can push the filter probably to 1.5 years before replacement. However! Do take into consideration about bacterial formation inside the system. Have your filter test for bacterial formation before thinking in prologing the replacement. 2nd and 3rd stages: I replaced them both. Comparing the manufacturer's photos side-by-side, the filters were not even half spent. Again, replacing them per manufacturer's recommendation is a wise way to minimize risk. I have the filters tested for bacterial formation, and filter water evaluated. The quality rated to pass the strict drinking water standards. This includes any PFAS and heavy metals. PFAS was not indicated on the filter's specs, but what little was in the water supply, the filtered water came back as non-detect. Taste: After around a month of constant usage, the taste of the new filters go away. It actually has a unique sweet taste rather than the harsh chlorine taste. I don't use the reverse osmosis because I rather have the natural minerals for my cooking and drinking for the essential flavors the water brings with the ingredients. I also have a secondary filter system in my fridge by splitting the filtered line from this system. The non-reserve osmosis secondary filter provided additional filter that removed practically everything bad tasting to 2/3 of the minerals, compared to the unfiltered water. There's literally no taste left after the fridge's filter. My family prefered that over the initial filtered water. Volume: This thing spits out filtered water faster than my sink aerated faucet. We switched to cleaning our ingredients using the filtered water over the regular faucet to minimize the unsavory chlorine taste. Original review: I'm experienced in using 2 to 3 stages and reverse osmosis systems going as far back as the 1990s. The key is to make sure to check your water district and the local municipal water supply consumer confidence report(s) yearly before determining to purchase the proper system. If you're using for your own well water supply, or tainted water supply from the water supplier, it's best to read up on the capacity of the models before purchasing. I'll dive right into things. The last model I had was the Aquasana 5300+ 3-stage. I purchased the unit 5 years ago, with spare new filters at $70 to replace. The filter cases leak due to warping. Not one, not two, but all three at the same time. What are the likely chances after the case replacement 2 years ago? Pros: 1. 10% larger than the compact 3-stage Aquasana 5300+ unit. However, if you compare components side-by-side, you can see the robustness of this unit. The tell-tale signs are the metal mounting base and the thickness of the filter cases. You can see the differences immediately. 2. Filters are larger and denser. Robustness is the word. 3. Easy installation. The parts are practically married to the existing parts under the sink. I took it slow, used all the provided parts, and ensured total sealing during installation. Not even a drop of water dripped from any part. Knock on wood of course. It's been close to a month, and still not a drop of water anywhere. I learned my lessons from the Aquasana, and I placed a thin plastic bucket and water leakage alarm as I did for my water heater. Better to be safe than sorry with a tiny investment. 4. The flow of the filtered water is phenomenal. Twice to thrice the volume of the Aquasana 5300+ in a given minute. I have to crank the cold water supply way down just to prevent the filtered water from jetting out like a hydrobeam. 5. Long filters' lifespan. Aquasana's filters literally forced you to replace every 6 months, but I tend to delay things a bit longer after evaluating the filters for the prior years. The first stage filter turned completely yellow. Since the unit's filter is confident in lasting up to 12 months, we'll definitely need to see the claim. I'll be sending in the filters for testing to verify the bold claims. Cons: Yes, there are downsides to this but do read things through before making your decision. 1. The faucet unit is not completely water-tight. What do I mean? The looseness of the faucet body is the downfall in allowing the water to bottom. When you plan on spraying down the sink to clean it, don't spray on the faucet body where the tube turns. A small amount of water will make it through the bottom. The base of the faucet body is not a problem at all. Perfectly sealed. I added silicone sealer to the base just in case during installation. No water can make its way through the bottom of the faucet unit's base. 2. The higher the flow, the cloudier the water for the first few minutes. If you want that clear water without the cloudiness, turn the pressure down and allow the water to flow out slowly. We don't care. We just want fast water coming out. After sending the filtered water in for testing, we already know the filtered level. 3. Taste can be a tad off for the new filters. Don't expect your water to taste plain and unflavored. It does have an odd light plastic and carbon (coal-like) taste at the start. However, that goes away in a few days of continual usage. We flushed the line for 15 minutes at max pressure the unit will allow (well below the 80 psi warning) before the first use as well. I'm happy with the unit so far. I'll update along the way if something goes wrong.
Review: If you are ready to go past the upper consumer level, to a "Pro" system without wasting water with reverse osmosis..... - I've been installing drinking water filters in every house I 've lived in for many , many years. Whether I've owned or rented. Country cottage, or city condo. The last one was a 2 stage G.E. undersink model which lasted about 9 years, until the filters started to get bad manufacture reviews. It's hard to find filter systems that are super quality, pro size, like the APEC WFS-1000 without going reverse osmosis. This system is the same size as a whole house filter, but made for undersink drinking water! All other filters I've used up to this point are pathetic in comparison. This system just makes sense! And it fits easily under my smaller single size condo sink. It installs with high quality, easy fit, parts. The tubing simply slips into quick connect style fittings. The tubing is industry standard size. You won't have to look for some companies special, proprietary connectors and tubing size, years down the road. This is heavy duty, high quality, stuff you'll find at your hardware store. But APEC puts it all together with American parts. The standard issue sink faucet is above average quality, and the water flow is way more than the 2 stage filter I replaced! Taste is as good as it gets! Really! And you just gotta know that water quality is superior, because of overkill in the filtering capacity, when compared to anything but a reverse osmo-system, but without the wasted water. The only upgrade I wish APEC supplied, is a clear canister for the 1st stage grit filter. This would put the system "over the top" in convenience for filter experts like me. Since water supplies vary from place to place, a person could visually monitor the condition of his replacement schedule, without relying on an arbitrary 1 year change-out. This schedule in reality is directly effected by tap-water quality, and amount used, in a specific time. Also, check it out....the price is right!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great filter system, removes chlorine and some larger sediment.
*by M***L on March 8, 2018*

As a system, its fantastic. The universal 10" filter cartages allow you to put in whatever your hearts desire, from standard carbon filters, to Hydrogen Sulfide Reduction filters, to special nitrate removing filters. The setup was easy and straightforward, they included teflon tape which was a plus. You really don't need to go to the hardware store at all. However after doing some research, it appears that the filters included in this kit are good for removing chlorine and other compounds but not lowering TDS. With the filters that come with it, the TDS is lowered by 10 or so, from 350 at the tap, to 341 from the filters. I tested it against my Britta water pitcher and it averaged 230 over 3 readings. The pore size of the filters is about 5 microns, which is small (the thickness of a piece of printer paper is around 50 microns), but you can definitely get smaller. After searching around on the APEC website, you can buy filters down to 0.5 microns. Further digging led me to another company that sells a sediment filter with a pore size of 0.2 Microns for about $35. I can't find anything smaller. The bottom line for me is getting a 200 or lower TDS from this filter system. Maybe its impossible without R.O. But I will update this review once the 0.2 micron filters get here. ***UPDATE*** After the 1micron and .5micron filters arrived I installed them in my unit. Alas it only lowered the TDS by an additional 20, so you can lower the number of TDS by 30 (±10) when using the 5micron, then the 1 micron, then the .5 micron. Lets be honest though TDS stands for total dissolved solids, asking a normal sediment filter to remove that is a tall order. I will say it did improve the taste though.
