Compare APEC RO to others: How are APEC RO systems compared to other ROs in the market?Updated 3 months ago
1) Our systems are designed, engineered, and tested in the U.S.A. using high performance parts: APEC RO systems are engineered right here in California, using premium quality filter components. We are proud to offer WQA certified systems in our ULTIMATE line which have been thoroughly tested and certified to remove a wide range of contaminants. Most other systems in the water industry today are untested systems made overseas using lower quality generic parts (foreign cloned) that break easily, clog up the system in a few months and deliver much lower contaminant rejection ratings.
2) Stronger & longer lasting filters: Our pre-filters are patented extruded solid carbon blocks. "Extruded block" consists of activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block with enhanced adsorptive capacity and efficiency. This innovative construction allows water to flow in a radial (outside-to-inside) direction and prevents channeling, a phenomenon that can lead to contaminants passing through the filter. Another advantage of our block media is that they do not release carbon fines that can clog up the system.
Our filters' superior material and design offer much greater dirt holding capacity and reliability when compared with the performance limitations of low quality carbon blocks, disposable or GAC (granular activated carbon) filters used by other brands. We use two extruded carbon blocks in sequence to provide the longest filter service life. While most ROs in the market can filter through only 1500-2000 gallons of water, our systems can fully treat up to 4000-5000 gallons of pure water. This means their filters have to be changed twice as often as ours.
3) Purer water and longer lasting RO membrane - Our High Rejection RO Membranes give the highest contaminant removal rate in the industry: 90-99%, they last 3-5 years easily. Most other membranes deliver only 70-90% rejection, and last only 1-2 years.
4) Most advanced QC Process: Every APEC system is put through a rigorous 10-point quality control process at our California facility to guarantee the ultimate performance and water purity. During our comprehensive testing, we are able to eliminate even the slightest component imperfections to ensure a noise-free, leak-free system with the highest contaminant rejection output.
5) Professional grade RO for demanding water qualities: APEC RO systems are specially designed to treat all types of water (tap and well water) while other ROs can treat only certain types of water. Our systems have high allowances for variations in pH (2-11), in water pressure (0 to 100 psi), in sediments and maximum dissolved solids (up to 2000 ppm), in output (45-270 gpd) etc. Meanwhile, the average ROs in the market are limited and could only treat decent water sources. This means if your input water happens to be harder, more acidic, or heavier in dirt than the usual standard water sources, these lesser RO systems will break down gradually, and without knowing, you would be drinking bad water -- your investment will be wasted.
6) Expert support directly from manufacturer: We are the original manufacturer, not just a 3rd party website/dealer. We have been making RO systems for over 17 years, and have developed a strong (and caring) technical support team that is dedicated in serving consumers just like you. We have all the replacement parts and technology to support you for as long as you own our system.
