APEC Water 50 GPD Essence Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System (ROES-50)

The tap water we use at home had a strange smell.our home is 10 years old. My wife wasnt comformtable using it for drinking or cooking even after it goes through a regular filter. I bought the APEC ROES-50 system after much research. Both me and my wife are completely completely satisfied with this purchase. Water tatses awsome now after installing Apec RO and and there is no stink in the water either. Qyality at the Price: I had veen putting off buying an RO previously due to the cost involved with other systems. But Im gappy to report that Apec RO system delivers quality at a reasonable price. Installation: I also worried about the installation. But it was an easy DIY. Took me about 2 hours to complete. There are plenty of vidoes online and the instruction manual is detailed enough. The storage tank holds enough water for 3 adults through out the day. I could not hear any operating noise tha few people noted. The drain noise that some people noted can also be avoided if you follow the intructions properly . It fits under our kitchen sink faucet cabinet and neatly tucked away. I did not have to drill any holes in the counter top. I just replaced the spray hose with the RO faucet. Delivery and packaging: The product arrived in 3 days and packaging was good. No damage on delivery. The included faucet looks good and feels solid enough. Although it works on water pressure (not electricity), I found the stream of water to be ok and not weak. Water PPM: I tested the water from the RO and the equipment showed 6 ppm which is great and clean. Exactly what I expected out of the system. I would definitely recommend this system

I’ve had this RO filter for 3 years now. It has served my family great. It’s our main drinking water supply. The water comes out tasting clean and fresh. Our tap water is good, but it’s hard and has a high level of dissolved solids, which is why we decided to get this system in the first place. It has resolved all those issues. I often test the water with a meter that checks the dissolved solids and it always tests close to 0ppm. When it’s closer to 5-10ppm I change the filters. The filters are a bit expensive, but they last a long time. I change them on average every 6-12 months. Depends on the readings I get on my meter. They’re a bit daunting to change the first time, but once you’ve done it a few times it just becomes another chore you can complete in 10-15 minutes. We used to buy large water jugs and this filter allows us to have unlimited filtered drinking water. I also use it for my indoor plants and my fish tank. Both the plants and the fish also appreciate the cleaner water. Install is not super difficult, but it does take some time and patience. For me it was worth it to avoid having to go buy filtered drinking water in large jugs once a week. I’m somewhat handy, but no plumber or anything like that. It’s totally doable for anyone that has some common sense. If you can build ikea furniture, this is very doable too. I recently had a leak in the center housing. After having the system for three years I guess something was bound to break down. I switched the o-rings and filters, but that didn’t fix the leak. I emailed APEC and got a response within hours. They asked for some basic information to verify my purchase and then proceeded to help me with my issue. Within a few exchanges I had the necessary part mailed out to me. I installed it, and now the leak is fixed. It was a bit of a hassle, but I appreciated the quick response, great customer service and overall helpfulness. I felt very supported with this issue. Exactly what you would expect from a company that cares about their product and customer base. Overall I’d say this product is for you if your tap water isn’t the best and you want an option that doesn’t involve lugging large water jugs. The initial investment is hard to swallow at first, but once it’s all connected and set up you appreciate having this filter set up. I find myself drinking more water than before since I know I essentially have an unlimited supply of filtered water. Having a meter that checks dissolved solids in the water takes the guess work out of changing the filters, IMO. It’s an extra purchase, but it’s cheap and easy to use.

I have bought this product and wasn't aware or warned the water system of UK differs from US and Romania. I received the "Self piercing feed water adapter" instead of the default "Feed water adaptor 3/8" - 1/2" with needle valve kit" This made the installation a very dificult procedure as all our water cables cannot be pierced and I had to look a day or 2 for a working custom model. Could not find. This is why I am writing this review, to ask you kindly if you know how I can get "Feed water adaptor 3/8" - 1/2" with needle valve kit"

Este sistema necesita conectarse a una toma de tenga por lo menos 40 psi de presión, para trabajar de forma eficiente (más de 50 psi es lo ideal). Yo instalé un hidroneumático de 1/2 HP y tanque de 24 litros, que genera hasta 40 psi y agregué una bomba de saturación (permeate pump), para elevar la presión de salida al tanque y reducir la cantidad de agua de desecho. Logré la eficiencia indicada por el fabricante de 3 litros de agua de desecho por cada litro purificado. En estas condiciones estoy purificando 5 litros por hora con 15 litros de desecho. La manguera negra no la conecté al drenaje porque me puede tirar tanta agua, que además no tan sucia y se puede usar para el aseo o el jardín, en vez de eso pongo la manguera en una cubeta de 20 litros, que se llena cada dos días aproximadamente. En mi colonia el agua municipal trae mucho sedimento, así que recomiendo poner un filtro de los normales de cartucho de fieltro antes del tinaco o cisterna, de preferencia. Logré purificar de 380 TSD que entrega el agua de la llave, a 18 TDS, que es el mismo valor de las aguas de garrafón (e-pura, bonafont). Si en su casa no pueden o no quieren elevar a la presión necesaria, tambien pueden comprar una bomba elevadora de presión especial para estos sistemas, pero son caras (RO booster pump). El agua tiene muy buen sabor!
