Review 1

We have a well and typical well hard water with a very unpleasant taste. I installed the WFS-1000 under our coffee-bar sink to provide filtered drinking water and clean tasting water for tea and our espresso maker. What a difference! Great clean taste with the double carbon filters.

The WFS-1000 is super easy to install. Since I wanted to filter all the cold water coming out of our faucet, I replaced the provided push-to-connect fittings with 3/8 OD Tube compression x 1/4 MIP brass fitting which allowed me to connect right to standard supply lines. Flow rate is great – as is the water!

Review 2

I had a two-cartridge unit for years that I was happy with, but the people who bought my house wanted it. So, new house, new undersink water filter. After hunting around and reading all sorts of reviews, I settled on the APEC 3-cartridge unit. Where I live now the water has a higher chlorine content that my previous location. But this takes care of it completely. In fact the water tastes better than it did in my old house. It's much better than the filtered water from the fridge.

I did not have any trouble installing the unit. The instructions are a little redundant, which is confusing, but once you get started they begin to make sense. (Listen up, APEC — use a “cookbook” format for your instructions, not an “engineering description” approach!) Other reviewers complained about the quality of the fittings, but the ones in my kit were top-notch. Since I've moved from all copper plumbing to the wonderful world of semirigid plastic pipes in the new place, there was some concern about learning to work with the new system, but it was actually easier.

If you're looking for a filter system that does what it says it will and then some, try this one. But it is a 3-cartridge unit, so be sure you have room for it under your sink!

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!!

I bought this 3-stage filter to replace my Reverse Osmosis system. (I was tired of the hassle involved in changing all the filters.) When this 3-stage was first installed, the water quality was very poor — I couldn't tell the difference between ordinary tap water and the filtered water, in taste or appearance. Both were yellow! Prior to my RO system, I had a simple 1-stage under sink filter that did much better than this 3-stage! A few days ago, I decided to replace the 3rd filter, a 5 micron filter, with a .5 micron filter. This has made a huge difference — the water is now clear and tastes the way it should! It didn't slow the water flow either. I don't understand why the manufacturer doesn't include a .5 micron filter as the last filter, rather than two 5 micron filters for stage 2 and 3. Many people who have complained about poor water quality have been advised by the manufacturer to get an RO system. Are they just trying to sell more RO systems?! I'm sure an RO takes out more microscopic contaminants, but if you just want good tasting water with most of the gunk removed, a 3-stage filter with a .5 filter as the final filter, will do just fine.

Review 5

The water in Tulsa looks bad smells bad and tastes like swamp dirt plus a red slim or algae shows up in the humidifier and pet water bowls after installing the filter system witch was so easy and not one leak showed up the water was clean and tasted great even the red algae no longer showing up plus drinks made with the water like coffee tea lemon aid kool aid for the grand kids tasted great and we feel better giving them water or drinks cant wait to up date the rest of the house with APEC full home systems.The way stuff is getting in the water better to be safe than sorry.

Review 6

The design and installation of the product was very simple and straightforward it came with all needed equipment. Since it is a new installation the water is a little milky but I assume that will go away with time , highly recommended

Conclusion

The filters were easy to install on the unit. The tubing was adequate in length.
