APEC Water Systems FILTER-SET-ES High Capacity Replacement Pre-Filter Set For Essence Series Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System Stage 1-3

Installed this for my elderly parents who were initially purchasing cases of 1 gallon drinking water (of which I had to hoist upstairs and place for them). It was far too cumbersome, not to mention, wasteful of plastic bottles. Since installing, the filters lasted us 8 months. That's ~$10/month. Not bad for extremely refreshing, wonderful tasting drinking water. I use this water for my Breville Barista Pro every morning for exquisite-tasting espressos and can rest assured that I'm receiving the best there is.Easy to install. My only precaution is to prepare a big enough tub to place your system in and once you unscrew each filter, water may spill out. It's a bit fiddly, but nothing this non-DIY-er can't handle. I think I replaced it (from opening the box to throwing out the old filters) in less than 1 hour! Be sure to test the water running before placing it back under the sink in case of any leaks so you can adjust the tightening of each. I was a bit concerned right after replacement of the water pressure (it was dribbling coming out), but after the initial 15 minutes, I left it alone, and in 2 hours, the water pressure was as strong as ever. Can't recommend this enough, and now I've set myself a notification on my calendar 7 months in advance so that I can anticipate its next replacement. Super simple!

I’ve been using this product for about nine years now and I have no interest in changing course. Everything fits well and is easy to install. In my situation I find that it lasts longer than the recommended life cycle. No complaints. Recommend. Enjoy.

i have these filters on subscription and am very happy with them. they come in every 6 months and i replace them with ease. i hooked this filter system up to my kitchen sink and is the only water i use to drink and cook with. water tastes great and i can see what these filtrate when replacing. happy i bought them.

Works in my APEC reverse osmosis system This is the most reasonable pricing I found online so I just have them auto-shipped so I know its time to change them when they arrive

after 4 years i decided to replace the osmotic membrane for the first time. it was very difficult to take off the cap of the membrane housing. it took a lot of torque to unscrew it. I had to actually disconnect all the tubings and remove the housing to get a good grip on it. it turns out that there is a special spanner or wrench for this, just as there is a spanner to remove/replace the 3-stage filter canisters. these spanners are made of plastic and can't cost but a dollar or two, so i don't see why they aren't just included in the kit. same for the o-rings for the 3-stage filters, which they recommend to replace yearly.

my water tastes great

This filter set works as expected. APEC makes the absolute best reverse osmosis systems in the world as far as I’m concerned. The quality never disappoints and the water always tastes amazing.And better yet, depending on your water usage these filter sets can last a couple of years between changing!
