APEC Water Systems ROES-PH75 Essence Series Top Level Alkaline Mineral pH+ 75 GPD 6-Stage Certified Ultra-Safe Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System with Extra High Capacity Filter Set Steps 1

I’m thoroughly impressed with this product so far! After getting fed up with the chlorine taste in tap water, I realized just how noticeable it becomes once you stop drinking it. After several years of avoiding tap water, I can now smell the chlorine the moment I turn on the tap. I previously had a countertop filtration system from a Chinese brand, but it seems to have disappeared, and I couldn't find replacement filters. After doing some research, I chose APEC because they have a strong reputation and long-standing presence in the US market. For a while, I relied on bottled water, but then I realized just how costly it was to keep buying it regularly. That's when I decided to invest in this filtration system. The installation took a bit of time, as I had never fitted a system like this before, but once I got the hang of it, I realized it was actually a very straightforward setup. Everything works flawlessly, and there have been no leaks. Now, everyone in my household benefits from clean, great-tasting water, and the kids absolutely love it! The water has a smooth, fresh texture, and it makes a noticeable difference in teas, coffee, and even hot chocolate—everything seems to absorb better. The fittings are well-made, and the system feels sturdy and reliable. I was impressed with the shipping time, too, as it arrived from the US to the UK within a reasonable timeframe. Overall, this is a fantastic product, and I’m genuinely impressed with its performance. Kudos to the creators of this system!

The APEC ROES-PH75 is a great reverse osmosis water system that I would recommend. - it uses standard 10" x 2.5" filters for sediment and carbon--the ones that require replacing most frequently--are available under many brand names at orange box retailer and others. This is my main reason for selecting this tank system over a tankless. The tankless was 2x the price but the filters even more. Seems like NO tankless use standard filters except for very low GPD models that are too slow for on-demand drinking water. - This system is not just WQA Gold Seal Certified but also meets NSF/ANSI 58 although that was tough to track down. - The quick connect tubes are easy to use; they leak a tiny bit during install but once in position they do not. - Comes with a spare set of 3 filters for sediment and carbon which was unexpected. - The provided faucet is good looking. - The first tank of water is cloudy but after that its clear. - I opted for the remineralization which i think makes it taste almost sweet? - The APEC support by email was great. I lost a stainless nut behind the cabinet and support was timely and good. I would like an valve for bypassing the remineralization (additive) filter? process for aquariums and simply to sample the difference.

If you are dealing with heavily treated municipal surface water, this system is an absolute game-changer. I bought the Value Bundle to handle our local tap water, and I paired it with an Express Water Universal Chiller for on-demand filtered cold water. The whole setup has exceeded expectations across the board. Water Quality: 5/5 Our city water is loaded with chloramines and has a high TDS from being sourced from open canals. This 6-stage system strips all of those harsh chemical disinfectants and dissolved solids right out. The peace of mind knowing exactly how clean my drinking water is, is priceless. Taste: 5/5 This is where the ROES-PH75 really shines. Standard RO water can taste unpleasantly flat, but the 6th-stage alkaline filter adds high-purity calcium back into the water. It perfectly replicates the crisp, refreshing taste of pristine groundwater—and having it flow right through my chiller means I get ice-cold, incredibly fresh-tasting water on demand. Value for the Money: 5/5 Getting the Value Bundle with the extra Stage 1-3 pre-filters is the way to go. Those carbon pre-filters take a beating from the city's chloramines, so having the replacements on hand to protect the expensive main RO membrane saves serious money in the long run. It easily pays for itself by eliminating the need to ever buy bottled water again. Durability: 5/5 The build quality is excellent. The filter housings are thick and heavy-duty, the tubing is high quality, and the fittings are totally leak-free once properly seated. It feels like a premium, commercial-grade appliance built to last for years. Ease of Use: 5/5 The installation instructions were clear, making it a very manageable under-sink DIY project. Swapping out the lower filters is straightforward with the included housing wrench. Plus, the system uses standard 1/4" tubing, which made hooking it up to my aftermarket water chiller an absolute breeze. Color: 5/5 The unit itself is a clean, unobtrusive white that looks neat and organized under the sink. More importantly, the water it produces is absolutely crystal clear with zero cloudiness or floating particles once the new filters are properly flushed.

I’ve been extremely happy with the APEC ROES-PH75 system. Installation was straightforward with clear instructions, and the build quality feels solid and well thought out. The water quality difference was immediate — noticeably cleaner taste, no odors, and much smoother than our previous filtered water. The added alkaline/mineral stage is a big plus. The water doesn’t taste “flat” like some RO systems can, and it’s been great for drinking, coffee, and cooking. Flow rate is excellent, and the tank refills quickly. After testing our water, contaminants dropped dramatically, giving real peace of mind. , this feels like a professional-grade system at a fair price. Would absolutely buy again and recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality under-sink RO system.

Pros: Highly reputed with standard certifications High quality design Great filtering capability (110 ppm down to 13 ppm) Price is reasonable compared with the competition in the market, given it's an American brand Reasonable cost of replacement filters Comes with the tools necessary to tighten the filters in place No significant noise generated while working No TDS meter included Cons: I have yet to find one! Conclusion: It's only been three months so far, but would absolutely recommend!

Awesome system. Have had it now for a month or so and just love it. Very compact under sink.
