RO-PUMP ULTIMATE Reverse Osmosis® System Customer Review

 

D. Shannon - Colorado
We had a Culligan system for several years and it did an OK job. However, our new APEC system with permeate pump is w-a-y better. I looked at a number of systems and found that most of them were cheap junk, made in China; something I would never buy for drinking purposes. We're very happy with the system and the ease of installation. No problems, no leaks, just great water. We're thinking of buying two more for our kids at Christmas time. Thanks for making a great "American made" product.

Thank you for such a high quality RO product. We installed the three systems in our house approximately 2 years ago. I test our water using your TDS monitor several times a year. Our tap water TDS tests to a 170 ppm reading and our product water is consistently less than 10% of that. We have been using the same membrane since installation. We follow your testing instructions in your owners manual and have been repeatedly surprised at the low product water TDS reading. Measured today, the readings on each of our three RO systems are: 7, 7, and 15. We have noticed a slight change over the last 2 years so we know the filter rejection capacity is changing over time. However, even the RO system farthest from the house water input (the longest pipe run) has crept up only to a 9% of input water TDS (15 ppm to 170ppm).

You should know, that we have a whole house water softener that in itself may pre filter our house water before it gets to our RO units; however, as I indicated, at the tap, our water measures 170 ppm so we can certainly tell that your system is working. We will follow your instructions and change the product should the reading increase to 15 - 20% of input water TDS. Again, thank you for such a high quality RO product.

UPS dropped off the very well packaged system and a little over an hour later it was installed. Great instructions make it so simple, anyone with the tools can do it. My tap water tested at 230 and the RO water came out at 4ppms! Plus the free ice maker kit and next years filters were a nice bonus. What else can I say except thanks for a great product that I will tell all my friends about.

The water maker is great. I live on an island off the coast of GA in the winter. The water here is supposedly drinkable, but it tastes like it is right out of a sulfuric swamp. The water filtered through the water maker is fabulous.

After a few months of research, I decided to get both the whole-house system and the reverse osmosis for our kitchen sink. We are thrilled. The drinking water shows only at reading of 5 on the TDS meter! The whole house Green Carbon 10 has made a difference with our heavily chlorinated water. The customer service at APEC can't be beat, and I love that we do not have to go through a third party for questions. Excellent service and product!

I have had my reverse osmosis system in my kitchen now for about 1.5 months. I am very happy with it and the water tastes very good. My father and I installed the system under my kitchen sink. At first I had some tiny drips from two of the filters but after I switched the housing on the two they have been drip free since. When I contacted customer service about the initial problem they were terrific about getting back to me quickly and were willing to replace the parts if I needed that done. It is nice knowing that all the extras that come with city water is not going into my drinking water. I now drink much more water as I don't have to worry about the quality. I would, and already have, recommended this system to others.

I called last week because we couldn't find a part for the drinking faucet part of the system we had ordered almost a year ago and were finally having installed. Your customer service representative was surprised by the unusual problem and sent the part as a courtesy. After the system was completely installed and working well we opened the box for a bathroom faucet and lo and behold your parts package had been put in there during the many projects that were being completed in the last month.

I am so happy that you supplied the missing parts--the installer had been running around trying to make it work on his own. Nobody remembered seeing those parts--a mystery that your customer service saved from being a disaster (in a line of disasters in our money pit). Thank you so much. The installer was impressed by the good instructions and the way things went together when he finally had everything he needed. The brushed nickel faucet matches my kitchen faucet in style very well and I am getting lots of compliments. Oh, and they like the taste of the water too.

Been a customer since 2005 and noticed the customer reviews just now. I just wanted to say for 5 years, me and my family have been happy with this system. We always replace the filters and so far nothing is bad. Installation straight forward, just be sure to measure if you get the bigger tank before trying to fit under the sink. It didn't work out so well but nothing with some extra parts to relocate it. Best investment of my life. Get the bigger tank if you can, you will have more water on hand should the need arise also.

I just want to say how thankful I am that I found your company. Yesterday, we had our water tested and they quoted us $1300.00 for a reverse osmosis system, yikes! When I read all the testimonials, I became so excited to purchase your product. It isn't even here yet, and I am still going to tell all my friends. PS. I am originally from CA, so I am thrilled to be buying American from a California company!

Great system. Did not mount it, stands up just fine. This is a great product Made in the USA. Our water is not too bad but we did not feel it was good to ingest the chlorine. Our neighbor works for the city water and advised me to get an RO unit. After months and months of researching on how to get the best unit for our buck that was made in America with NSF and FDA approved parts, we found Freedrinkingwater.com. Unbelievable quality, easy to install with directions so easy a novice could do it, and the free set of pre-filters will keep us running for a while. We use it for our cat's drinking water, our plants, cooking, and drinking. Dropped from 170ppm to 5ppm. If you see this review because you are looking for a quality RO unit, stop looking and order already, you will be glad you did. Thank you FDW!

We really like our Reverse Osmosis. We bought water for ten years and had to haul it ourselves. My husband decided to get a system for our home. I went online and found APEC they were the first to come up. So I researched all their information and got hooked. We have not regretted on getting this RO system for our home. The water does not leave a residue in my pots or the coffee maker. The water tastes really good!! Their customer service is excellent and they answer all your questions. So what more can a person ask for!! Thank you APEC!

I had a plumber last week install my system and it seems to work well. I have 2 homes one in Chicago with city water and a country lake house in Indiana with well water. For years I had been filling my own water juggs in Chicago and bringing them out to Indiana for the weekend. That was such a pain in the butt. So I found your system on the internet and it sounded like it would work for me. My wife just loves it. She decided to give me a blind taste taste. We compared the Chicago city water to your system. I was able to pick out the Chicago water only because I could taste the chlorine or whatever they put in there water. Your system water just tasted like water. No smell, no weird taste. I just hope the system is dependable over time. My family are all union workers and we always buy American when given a choice. If we all did that this country would fix itself. Thanks.

You make an excellent product. I've had my RO low water system in for 5 years now. It was easy to install and works very well. And it's made in USA! Thanks again.

 

Randy Smith - Texas
Just a quick note to tell you how much I use and appreciate your system. The difference in water taste is as different as day and night. In fact, after I first installed it, I had some bottled water and used the PPM tester to see if the water from your system was as good as the high priced bottled water I was buying. Not only was it as good, it was twice as better. The water from the bottled water measured 10 PPM and the water from the system measured 5 PPM. This system paid for itself easily in the first 3-4 months. I have had it for 2 years now, and the water is still just as fresh and sweet as it was when it was new. If you need me for a reference, feel free to use my name or email address if anyone has any questions. Thanks again for such a great product, I recommend it to everyone that comes over. PS..and it was a snap to install.

I bought and installed your filter in December 2004. I must admit that the idea for a water filter was my wife's; at that time I was perfectly happy drinking tap water. Since then I have discovered just what a difference your filter makes and have become intolerant of drinking tap water. Y'all offer a great product at a very fair price. Thanks.

Very good installing instructions, but with out doubt, the customer service is not good but great, keep up the great work, it is a pleasure to received this kind of service, the best I have ever received. Thanks again.

I recently installed one of your R.O. water systems in my home and am extremely pleased with the results. I was faced with the worst well water that I have ever encountered. High TDS, Sulfate, Iron, Manganese, etc, etc, etc. It was suggested that I re-drill my well, by professional plumbing houses. But after talking with my neighbors, they all have the same problem. Prior to installing your system I had in line (2) two sediment filters, (1) one drinking water filter, and a water softener that works its tail off. I thought I was doomed to a life of water delivery and ice runs, or worse, buying another home. Your product and the Reverse Osmosis technology is fantastic. The installation went great, I couldn't wait to get it in. Your product is highly recommended, the water taste great and no more junk in the glass when the ice cubes melt overnight. My wife loves it for her plants, (they were not doing so well before) which made me expedite this installation, seeing them wilt and die didn't give me a warm and fuzzy. Again, thank you.
