Sizing a system: I'm not sure what size system I need for my home?Updated 3 months ago

APEC offers a wide variety of whole house systems to suit every type of home and budget. Systems come in a variety of sizes from basic 10" & 20" polypropylene housings to very large heavy-duty 60" tall mineral tank systems.

APEC's heavy-duty systems are rated by size and flow-capacity and they can offer peak flow rates from 8-20 GPM to treat homes with 2-6 bathrooms. These high-capacity tank systems are built to last, typically treating between 600,000 to 1,000,000 gallons of water with media lasting between 6-8 years before replacement is required. With such a long service life between filter changes, these maintenance-free systems are ideal for people who don't want to be bothered with frequent monthly or yearly filter replacements.

Our basic 10" & 20" polypropylene units offer exceptional affordability and versatility in a compact space-saving design. These filters treat water by using specialty cartridges which can treat between 10,000 to 80,000 gallons of water, lasting 1-8 months and are recommended for smaller 1-2 bathroom homes, labs or light commercial applications.
