After moving to Arizona, I realized that the regular tap water is undrinkable even after you filter it with normal pitcher filttration system. So, my husband and I were looking for a quality filtration system and found the RO-CTOP-PHC Apec water filtration system. It was costly plus changing filters twice a year would make it more expensive. But after tasting the first glass of water after installing and filtering, we felt like- ” Water should taste like this…everyday”. Most impotantly, we like the four steps water filtration system and the added ph balance that this system add to the drinking water. We are happy with this product and we also liked the installation part since it was easy and simple.

I purchased an APEC reverse osmosis countertop water filter a couple of months ago. Delivery was prompt. Setup instructions were easy to follow and the filter works great! The flavor of the water is superb. Very happy with my purchase. Also, I had a question about replacement filters and got prompt and complete information when I called customer service.

We bought this filter after our baby started drinking water and we wanted to make sure what he was drinking was pure. I spent so long doing research, looking at pitcher filters, countertop, and reverse osmosis. Because we are renters, we can’t do under the sink, and we have too limited space for one of those huge jugs and It was important that we had fluoride removal, but pitcher and countertop systems can’t filter out fluoride. NSF certification was also a must, to make sure we weren’t paying for smoke and mirrors. This is the only true reverse osmosis countertop filter with a cover and NSF certification that I could find. I love that it has an alkaline remineralizer, although I wish it added back more minerals. Easy to install and the water tastes great! Be prepared though – it takes a while for the water to flow through all of those wonderful filters! Takes about 8 minutes to fill the large jug we keep in the fridge. I don’t mind though – set a timer and come back when it’s almost done.

After rapidly running through a number of “cartridge in pitcher” type filters due to the high turbidity of my local water supply, decided to try this system after calculating it will save me money in the long run.It was incredibly easy to setup and the water quality is top notch, much better than the cartridge type filter system I had been using.Each morning I filter out a gallon of water into a pitcher which I then use throughout the day, this way I only have to go through the trouble of switching to the filter system one time a day, works out great.

It is a good product compare to most in the market for what it offers from the product description. The water taste fresh and odorless, same as what the manufacturer claims. The drinking water coming out from the filter is very slow so it is best to have it hook up to a counter top water dispenser. I bought a 2 gallons dispenser and regularly have it filled up and can be use by the whole family for fresh drinking water at anytime.The only downside I find is it is a bit costly compare to other alternatives in the market. It also does not work with a Pull Out Faucet so I had to replace my with a cheap standard faucet to use it. But overall I’m happy with it.

I gave this system a good 6 months of use before I decided to write a review. I did a great deal of research on countertop water filters and based on my findings, APEC was the way to go. My primary reason for wanting a good filtration system was fluoride and pharmaceutical contaminant removal from LA tap. (The APEC company provides a comprehensive list of all the nasty contaminants their system removes.) The alkaline feature truly makes this little system worth every penny. The water produced is velvety smooth and tastes better than any pricey alkaline water you get at the store.

I have been researching R.O. Systems for several weeks. I needed a system that I can use in several locations. I needed a portable system that didn’t cost me thousands of dollars. I chose the APEC 4-stage counter top system and I am so happy I did. Not only does it look great, but it was so easy to install and have up and running in ten minutes. It produces the best tasting water, and super quite. But the best feature is it’s ability to go mobile with no problem at all. It is indeed the complete package at a very affordable cost. Don’t hesitate to buy this system, it is all that it is described and more. I would reccomend this system to anyone looking for an RO system. I absolutley love it. 5-Stars all the way for not only the product but the support staff is great as well

Works great and tastes great! Easy to install! We did have to purchase an adapter because the ones sent didn’t fit our faucet.

I purchased this product after a quite serious search. I waited for a while to be sure about its quality and understand how much it meets the promises stated by the company. It is excellent. From day one it was great, easy to install and the taste was fantastic. I received it on time. Its case is pretty good. I already recommended to my friends.

Great water filter! Love this filter. Portable, good looks, easy to install, took me less than 5 minutes. I like how it makes the water taste better.

Great for apartments or camping. Easy installation, and product looks pleasing on the counter (w/ cover). TDS Meter will show you exactly what this system will do to the water you’re putting in your body. The drinking water this produces surpasses what you’ll find in bottled water. I would recommend purchasing a container for the refrigerator, and keep it topped off. Waiting for water for coffee is painful.

THE BOX LOOKS VERY NICE TO ME . THE WASTE WATER SHOULD BE INDICATED WHETHER IT IS GOOD FOR PLANT OR CLEANING.

The APEC RO-CTOP-PHC countertop RO system is perfect for apartments or situations where you can’t install a RO under sink system. The installation took just 5 mins, had to attach the connector to the faucet and run the water for 15 mins to flush out the membrane. Very positive experience with installation and water quality compared to my previous faucet filter from a major brand. The water tastes good. I recommend the model with the cover as it hides the filters behind the casing. Also if you prefer the mineral water taste go with the pH+ model.
