We stopped buying bottled water after I read several online articles about the problems with bottled water. We decided to buy the APEC RO countertop system after we did some research and talked to their tech support. It was hard for us to make the decision between the RO-45 and RO-CTOP. Now I love the APEC countertop system since it’s easy to install for me and I can get fresh filtered water every day. Looking at my pictures you may notice that it is hidden in the cabinet. I drilled three holes under the bottom of the cabinet. Pretty neat, right?

We were looking for an R.O. system for both drinking water and for our coral aquarium, which requires nutrient-free water. (Miami tap water has more chlorine than your average swimming pool, and enough nitrates and phosphates to hydroponically grow tomatoes.) We went with the countertop model because it seemed the simplest and its parts and pieces were made in the USA (rare enough these days). Talk about “plug-n-play”! You can have it up and running within minutes of pulling it out of the box! The water tastes great, and it’s about 99% pure water, so it’s great for the corals. The total dissolved solids of Miami tap water started at 137ppm and after the filter, TDS=9ppm. Thank you for a simple to operate system, and for the quick delivery!

This is a great filtration system. Since my countertop is small I put it on when I need to fill my 5 gallon bottles and I store it. It takes 10 second to install and remove. Very convenient. I tried under the counter ones before but did not fit and leaked all over the place. This one is very safe.

My APEC countertop Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filter has given me great service for years. I used it when I was in an apartment in Iowa for a couple of years. The water in Iowa really needed filtering! Since then I’ve been using it in my Colorado home for another six years. And it really makes a difference by giving me great tasting water here, too. This is the 4th RO water system I’ve bought from APEC – 1 for me, 1 for my brother, an under counter unit for my mother and another that I installed in a house for a friend in Iowa. It’s easy for me to whole-heartedly recommend APEC RO systems to friends and family – top quality RO systems and safe water at a great price.

I got the countertop model. I am on a fixed income so it was the least expensive, and I bought a gravity 7-gallon BPA free container to put the pure water in, which has a faucet. I leave it on the kitchen counter so I can use it for cooking, etc, and I’m extremely happy. Took 1 1/2 hours to fill up 6 gallons of water, but that will last me awhile, and my animals will get the benefits too. I’ve been lugging water for 25 Cents a gallon, that you can get up the street. Was putting it in empty gallon water containers. At the time knew nothing about BPA in plastics. I’m so glad I’ve learned about this too! So I measured the tap water before putting it on the faucet, reading was 104, the same as the stupid water I’ve been lugging around for several years. Never knew I was just drinking tap water. What a revelation! At times bought Poland Springs water, that registered 48 on the tds meter. Wow! Your water is fantastic (12ppm’s for me). The extra that I like about it, is if I go anywhere I can take it with me, as it’s portable. I also bought the UV light as it kills bacteria, viruses, etc. Thank you so much everyone at APEC!!! Nothing is as important as water, except the air we breathe.

This is all it says it is. I hooked it up in two minutes and now I have great tasting clean drinking water. I did not know there was a quality reverse osmosis system that was available as a counter top option!! I am thrilled!

The RO-CTOP began to draw water easily from the faucet to produce filtered water immediately after I connected the system. I definitely feel that the water produced by this system is cleaner and healthier especially for people who have and suffer from chronic illnesses. This portable system is also very practical and easy to use because it doesn’t take up much space in my apartment. Since it’s not heavy, I am even considering taking it out of the country the next time I travel. Thank you APEC!

I have been using this portable RO for almost 6 months now and I really like it.It a great Product and very easy to install.Looks very nice, works even better, just be patient as water output is slow.TDS readings for me came in the range of 10-18. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a portable RO.
