Water Pressure Note
Installation Effort and Time
Just installed so this is based on first impressions. Will update with longer term review. Pull up a chair- this is going to be one of my longest reviews. First, I decided to get this system because it claims to have filters that only need to be changed once per year. Also, it has almost twice the daily volume of the 50gpd system.
Using a TDS meter, my tap water is around 360 to 340 TDS. Ouch – that’s very high. Min standards for city water is 400 ppm for TDS so this is right below the limit. To compare, distilled water purchased locally has a TDS of about 120 ppm. Some bottled water I had handy was about 30 ish.
The Installation Process
Installation – Effort: I would rate this as easy for people who’ve installed things like a sink disposal. My only tools I needed were two adjustable wrenches. Make sure you have a stubby handle adjustable wrench with wide jaws. If one has never installed anything under one’s sink then it might be seen as medium easy. What will make this more difficult is deciding and drilling the hole for the faucet. I have a Corian/synth marble top so I’m nervous about drilling. Have not done it yet. Many people will have an existing accessory hole so that will make for a much easier install. Time: I took my time and double/triple checked for leaks. Very important. I found a few and had to make some adjustments. It took about an hour. But keep in mind I have yet to drill and install the faucet or waste line (more on that later).
Water Pressure and Waste Water Ratio
WATER PRESSURE NOTE- One should probably test their water pressure before buying this or any other RO filter. Also, if/when water pressure in the house supply drops that will cause the RO filter to open up and your water bill will go up due to water being constantly wasted through this system UNLESS you shut it off except when you are getting filtered water. ALL RO Filters have a ratio of filtered water to “wasted” water.
Amount of Water Wasted
For the first 14 liters of filtered water, my system “wasted” about 6 x 7.1 liters of water. So the ratio is 14 Liters of Filtered Water to 42.6 Liters of “wasted” water. Remember, the system has stopped draining any water since the 4-gallon tank has charged. This means my system with my water pressure will use 3 gallons of water for every 1 gallon of filtered water. This sounds like a massive amount but consider that this is for drinking and most people consume about 1 gallon/person/day. So for an average family of 3 drinking 3 gallons of filtered water per day will also waste/use an extra 9 gallons per day x 30 days = 270 extra gallons per month. For me, I use about 2 gallons per day for drinking and cooking so that’s only 6 gallons per day more than normal use = 180 gallons extra use per month. Not bad and probably not enough to spike or increase my water bill. We’ll see.

I’m pregnant and have trouble keeping filtered tap water down due to the aftertaste. Because of this, I’ve been drinking bottled water exclusively for the past 6 months until I finally had enough to invest in this system. If you are a total beginner, ditch the manual (except to confirm parts) and go straight to YouTube to find a tutorial- there’s lots of videos to guide you through this. The hardest part about installation was punching a hole in our granite counters- that’s a whole other side project. It took approximately 1hr of holding onto the drill (beware if you have arthritis or carpal tunnel). It was also extremely loud (like scratching on glass but infinitely louder) Once the counter hole was punched, installation took less than 2hrs and then it was just a waiting game from there… waiting for the first tank to fill, drain and refill. We did a concealed taste with spring water from the store and found out that the Apec water tasted so much better and with no salty aftertaste. Overall, I would highly recommend.

I’m glad reverse osmosis has gotten so cheap, having one of these has been a dream of mine for years living in the US where so many houses still have lead pipes, and now it’s met. This was so easy to install too, and takes up relatively little space. I’ve realized that 90 gallons per day is probably more than 4x what we use from it on the average day, but that just sounds like a long lifespan and room to grow to me. I’ll drop back in if any problems come up, but so far I’m liking it for basically any water that we consume.

If you were wondering whether you should buy this filter I say definitely!!! We received a quote near us for a water filter which is basically the same one for $1300. I promise if this had been the second time I was installing it it probably would’ve taken me 45 minutes. The first time I did it it took me about an hour and a half. That means I basically made $600 an hour lol not bad. The one thing that I would really pay attention to is when you attach the hoses. Make sure to push them all the way in. This seems obvious but it really isn’t. You really have to push them hard and all the way to the end, otherwise, it will leak. I mean leak like spray in your face leak ha ha.
customers have been impressed with the installation process and the quality of the filtered water. Some mentioned the need to test water pressure and the waste water ratio, but found that it did not significantly impact their water bill. With easy installation and great tasting water, the APEC Water Systems RO-90 Ultimate Series is highly recommended
