APEC Water Systems wfs-1000 3 stage under-sink water filter system

Was initially worried I might have to do some shopping to find the necessary tap fittings (and adapters), but this kit came complete with everything. I've had it for a few weeks now and the water is great! No Chlorine smell at all - and the difference between the water coming out of this, and the unfiltered water from the connection next to it is night and day!

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!!

Filter housing cracked after 2 years of use, barely longer than the filters you need to change. Do not recommend as a “Premium” USA product.

Después de casi 2 meses de uso, puedo decir que estoy 100% satisfecho. El producto es premium, cumple con lo requerido. El agua es completamente insabora e incolora, no podría diferenciar entre la de garrafón. Hice la prueba probando directo de la llave y del filtro y es impresionante la diferencia. Recomiendo este filtro que a pesar de ser un poco más costoso que similares, se nota la calidad. Fácil instalación, tiene todo lo requerido (incluso trae una cinta teflón). Solamente es necesario contar con broca de 1/4 de alta velocidad para hacer el orificio en la tarja de aluminio y listo.

I was hesitant because there are SO MANY filters with so many different price points and reviews. I went for this one because it was rated highly on the taste, and because it has a high throughput. I couldn't be happier - our family drinks more water now because it's easy to fill the water bottles. Benefits: - great taste - high throughput - clear instructions for installation Cons: - it was hard to install in our outdated kitchen because the hose sizes were different. A converter would have saved us a few weeks of waiting for parts
