APEC Water Systems ROES-50 Essence Series Top Layer 5-Stage WQA Certified Ultra Safe Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System Extra Large Capacity Pre-Filter Set Stage 1-3

I live in an area where the city water is questionable. It could very much be a placebo, but the water tastes good without any smell. No leakage yet.

I've been using this reverse osmosis system for about three months now, and I can honestly say it's one of the best home upgrades I’ve made. The installation took a bit of time (about 1.5 hours), but the instructions were clear and all the parts were well organized. If you're even a little handy, you’ll be fine. Once set up, the difference in water quality was immediate. No more chlorine taste or weird odors—just super clean, fresh-tasting water. I use it for drinking, cooking, and even brewing coffee, and everything tastes noticeably better. It’s also been great not having to lug home bottled water anymore. The tank fills fairly quickly, and pressure is good. I also appreciate that it comes with a extra sets of filters. Only minor downside is the space it takes up under the sink, but that’s to be expected with an RO system. Still well worth the trade-off for the quality of water you get. Highly recommend if you're looking to ditch bottled water and want peace of mind about what you're drinking.

Really good. This is my second one (new house). Install is straightforward, the instructions are clear and hoses are color coordinated. The only hard part would be drilling through your countertop, but I have always just used the pre-existing hole from those crappy old soap dispensers. You also have to drill a 1/4” hole in your drain pipe. Do NOT do this after the p-trap, it must be before. Installation took me maybe 2 hours, with a large portion of that just dedicated to testing for leaks along the way, and the awkward work space making simple tasks like tightening a nut more challenging. Really makes a big difference in the water quality. The water is perfect. The filter is not dead silent, but very quiet and nothing you would notice once the cabinet is closed. 100x quieter than your refrigerator. Pressure is decent as long as the tank has some water in it. Takes 2-3 hours to fill the tank, and a little over 5 minutes to drain it. I never have any problem running out of water with normal use. It’s pretty large so make sure you have space. The instructions do state that the tank can be placed sideways and that the filters themselves can be stood upright rather than mounted if desired. We figured we were spending $60/month on bottled water, so this pays for itself in three months, and saves a lot of unnecessary plastic waste from entering landfills and oceans. Note: do NOT touch the blue thing on the side of the tank. It looks like a disposable cap for shipping but it is actually a vital air valve.

The set up was very simple because of detailed written instructions English instructions and diagrams. The system works very well and will highly recommend it.

Very happy with the purchase. it was easy to install and the result is very satisfying.
