RO Drinking Water Systems
Tap water safety: I thought my city’s tap water was safe to drink?
Cities are in desperate need of replacement from old age and wear. Water contamination can occur at almost any point in the delivery channel including lead leaching from corroded pipe solder, bacteria entering the system from water main breaks, or ga
Water Quality: How is RO water compared to bottled water?
Just as good or even better. We use the same technology, reverse osmosis (RO), as other major bottling plants use to filter water. Our drinking water has a refreshing taste with a touch of minerals —not like the flat taste of distilled or bottled wat
RO filtration: How effective is Reverse Osmosis filtration compared to other methods?
RO is the most convenient and effective method of water filtration. It filters water by squeezing water through a semi-permeable membrane, which is rated at 0.0001 micron (equals to 0.00000004 inch!). This is the technology used to make bottled water

Gallons per day: APEC's smallest system makes 50 gal/day, but we don't need that much drinking water!
Yes, we know nobody uses 50 or 90 gallons of drinking water a day. But you have to see this as the "speed" with which the RO system makes the drinking water. For example, a typical RO makes 15 GPD. This means it only produces about 0.6 gallons of wat
Ultra Violet light: When do we need to add a UV light to our system?
The primary use for a UV light is to disinfect filtered water at a certain flow rate. Bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms are destroyed by the UV interfering with the DNA and RNA in the organisms' reproductive cycles. If you are on a municipa
Shipping Schedule: If I order your system today, when do you ship?

Location of System: Typically where can I put this system? In the kitchen? How about the basement?
Typically our systems are installed in the cabinet under the kitchen sink. Our systems are quite slim so they can usually fit inside any cabinet, even if you have a garbage disposal. The storage tank can be laid on its side to save space. You can als

Moving system: If I move, can I remove the system to bring with me?
This system is very easy to uninstall. There is no need to completely uninstall; just close the water inlet needle shut off, take off the water inlet tubing, and take off the whole system in 5 minutes. You can order a moving-kit from us and just inst
Water Chemistry: Does the reverse osmosis process affect water pH?
In chemistry, pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. We humans drink a variety of different beverages with varying pH ranges, from highly acidic orange and apple juice (3.3 pH), to mildly acidic milk and coffee (6 pH). Liquids that
Mineral Content: Is it beneficial to have minerals in drinking water?
This is actually the biggest myth in the water industry. To understand the issue clearly, first we need to examine "what minerals" are in our tap water. If we were to send a sample of water to a testing laboratory, we would get back a report that inc
Membrane Maintenance: How much water is used to flush and clean the membrane?
All APEC RO systems use quality reverse osmosis membranes which offer long lasting performance and reliability. These membranes use a process known as "crossflow" which allows the cartridge to continually clean itself during water filtration. It is t
ULTIMATE series: How is the ULTIMATE product line different from APEC's original Ultra line?

Why is there cloudy water coming out of my RO system?
Sometimes, initially cloudy water can appear when using an RO system. This cloudiness is often caused by natural air bubbles in the system, which should dissipate after the water is allowed to sit for a few minutes. If air bubbles persist after sever
What should I do if my RO system is constantly draining water?
If your RO system is continuously draining water, it's important to check the setup:. In cases where water is still draining more than you'd expect, it may be necessary to replace certain parts suggested by your manufacturer.
What indicates a potential defect in my UV filter connection on an RO system?
