APEC Water Systems (CS-2500P) APEC Ultra High Capacity Undersink Water Filtration System Plus Scale Inhibitor-Premium Quality US Made Filter, White

Says in the description that it filers out heavy metals. When tested with my TDS reader, the reading was as high as the plain tap water. Filtering out dissolved solids was very important for me. Contacted the manufacturer and was told it only filtered chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride. Ended up returning it.

Ok, so I read the reviews on this before going with it, but it fit the bill for what I wanted: An inline filter for the cold on my faucet. If you are considering this you want this unit because 1> You either can't or don't want to put in a separate filter faucet 2> Are tired of standing at your fridge for filtered water 3> Don't need whole house filtration. This is a 4 month review and I just replaced my first filter. First things, install, if you have basic plumbing skills you can easily install this. Simple, didn't need to get anything other than a couple of wrenches. Second, water quality: Perfect. Tastes of nothing. Third, water flow: It's slightly lower than the hot side, but I'm talking slightly. At 4 months it was still fine. Fourth filter life: It went at about 3.5 months where I could start noticing a taste, that was a litlte disappointing. Until I really started thinking about our water usage in the sink, and yeah we cook and clean daily and probably use, no joke, 2 gallons a day in straight drinking water. Which doesn't include the rinse and run that you do for temp and things so easily double that. Putting this on a cold water line for a kitchen sink is going to run it off quick. Wife and I did a blind taste test on the filter (science!) change and we both agreed (in secret recorded answers) that the filter had gone past life. Honestly, consider the coffee, iced tea, water, cooking, etc, everything that we do this is a bargain .. and no more standing at the fridge waiting forever to fill things up.

The unit works perfectly. The filters are bit. Easy to install. Not leaks. The only complaint is I needed this unit right away because we couldn’t turn water on with this hooked up. I ordered from Amazon for quick delivery. It was supposed to be delivered on Saturday. The facility is only 45 minutes from where we live. I call c/s. And they assured me that it would be delivered Sunday. But I could see from tracking that it didn’t leave the facility all day. So I called in and she said it would definitely Be delivered by 10 pm. And the website wasn’t updated. It never came Sunday. It was delivered late this morning. I should have went to Jome Depot or Lowe’s it would have been quicker.

Great product, it literally took me about 5 minutes to install. Water pressure is fine and no leaks.
