APEC Water Systems Ultimate RO-PERM Boosted Performance with Permeate Pump Ultra Safe Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System, for Low Pressure Homes

Great system - purchased last year but did not replace prior unit as filters were still good in the 20yr old unit - just switched over yesterday to this Apec RO model - LOVE it .. have 3 x 20-gallon tanks downstairs that feed my 3 RO taps that are placed in the kitchen and both bathrooms, a water tower and an ice machine - the latter two direct feed to my RO system - the pressure is all taps/units is remarkable. Taps, water tower/ice marching are anywhere from 20 to 35 feet from the tanks and the pressure is so so much better then before, likely because of the permeate pump or the fact that the system regenerates at 90GPD. The pump did click for a good 3-4 hours at first, only because it was doing it’s job increasing water and pressure to all tanks. Pressure was 30 before from the tank (ok i guess) but now it is 60 and water just spews as it should. And if you wonder ... why do i have so many tanks ... well, I hate to run out and in my view, it is better to have too much than be at a deficit. TDS meter shows water is flowing at 1 - 2 PPM which can only be beat by 0.PS - I also left behind a culligan ac-30 unit .. filters were getting crazily expensive and hard to find where I am. Considered replacing with another culligan unit but the cost was ridiculous. Online was not really an option 15-20 years ago, but now because of online choices offered by places like Amazon .ca/.com, am no longer limited to local buying.

I've used it now for a few months and had no issues at all. I have in my home a 40-60 psi water pressure and decided to install the unit in the basement in the expectation the permeate pump builds up enough pressure to get the water to the kitchen. The faucet is 2m higher than the tank and 12m away (supply line). Still, the water comes out strongly.My TDS readings were far better than the bottled water I used to get. Above all, the water tastes great!The only issue are the clicks of the pump. Not loud but it is noticeable through wall and ceiling. It doesn't really annoy me and in the worst case I'll shield the pump acoustically.

Good drinking water system. Coming from a Culligan AC-30 at my former house, and this is a superior unit at 1/3 the price. Cartridges are easy to change and generic substitutes are readily available.Installation was simple, although the "water feed adapter" was of poor quality and difficult to install without leaks. Pro tip: If you over-tighten you'll roll the seal and it will leak. You want it just snug enough so you've compressed the gasket enough, but not so far it moves. A difficult proposition, which could be solved by designing the connector with a hard stop to ensure proper gasket compression. This is my only complaint about the product and it would not stop me from buying another.I've been using this for all of my families drinking and cooking water for 2 months now and have been pleased. The tank holds enough water to fill a large pot to boil pasta (5L) and recovers quickly. The permeate pump does make a bit of noise (a clicking sound) but I don't find it objectionable. If you're sensitive to noise the same unit is available without the pump, although I cannot comment how fast the regeneration is on that model. The manual suggests you can also insulate the noise but I have not tried that myself.The size indicated is more of a guideline as it is not a perfect square. Depending on your plumbing you can fit it in a smaller space than indicated. I was planning on remotely installing the tank but was able to fit it under my sink after all.Overall I'm quite pleased with the product and recommend it.

Fast shipping, product came as expected.

Great system so far and easy to install
