Install APEC Water Filter RO System 

Water filter system can be found here: amzn.to/3f1byPL Dewalt drill/driver set here: amzn.to/2IDZhF6

I am a professional plumber of 32 years and my client bought this system for me to install. I watched your video about the instalation and I am impressed with your instructions. Thank you for taking the time to show us. We'll done and blessings from Israel. Raphael

I installed my system today and did it fast and easy after having watched your video first. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time and making the effort. I'll raise a glass (of water) to you!

For anyone installing this …make sure u look inside the filter holders. There is a piece of paper inside each one

Nice work, easy to follow, with great tips along the way. And hats off to you for completing an install in a small space (under a sink!) while recording a watchable video of the entire process.

This was one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen! Thank you for a detailed step by step instruction. I am confident I can do this install after watching your video. 5 days later: Just installed my RO unit and followed your video step by step. Perfect! I appreciate you so much!!! Thank you!

Just installed the ROES 50 and the instructions that came with it were above average but watching this video kind of put a bow on it as far as being able to plow through it. Took about an hour and a half but did it methodically, took my time, and the system is terrific and worth the money. Going to send in a water sample to see how it improved our well water but it tastes excellent right out of the supplied faucet👍

Perfect step-by-step, great instructions. Just got mine in. A little over 4 hours for a newb, but no drips. Perfectly installed.

My son ordered this system today. Viewing your excellent video has given me the confidence to tackle this install by myself. Thank you !

U R the freaking best!!!!!!! Thank you so much. You made this actually fun to install. No frustration at all with having you give such a great video. I hope they gave you the system. You certainly deserve it.

Thank you so much! I just finished installation a minute ago and waiting on tank to fill up. I did notice however that you put the 1st stage filter in the 3rd attachment. I could be wrong but that’s how it appeared in the video.

Dude you put the #1 pre-filter on stage #3.. Did you ever realize that? I hope nobody else is doing that :P

thanks, I have the APEC RO-HI and your video is compatible with that as well. This is probably the same install for most of the APEC reverse osmosis systems.

Hey Man Thank you!!! I was able to install my new Apec water system yesterday and made it so much easier watching your Video now I don't need to run to store to buy drinking water for my family, hopefully I'll save money down the road... so.. Thank you!! 🍻

I bought a Apec RO-HI system two days ago and watched your video multiple times along with the instructions to put it together. thanks for taking the time to make this great video

Just got mine today!! July 9th!! My under sink looks just like yours Chris. Installing it tomorrow!! I’ll let you know how it goes!!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to record this excellent video guide! I installed our ROES-50 system yesterday using the installation manual and your video side by side. Nothing can compare to actually seeing someone do it. Your video made the whole process so much easier and our system is up and running beautifully!

Excellent video Chris! You helped me to install the same exact system and made it easy to follow along. Very much appreciated my man!

Very good video. Your explanations and instructions were clear and concise and the installation was well done. I installed my unit today. I found that the metal valve body that the 1/2 to 3/8 adapter fits into leaks under water pressure. It took a lot of firm tightening to get it to stop. Worse was when the red tube that feeds water to the unit blew out and water gushed all over. It seems that the fitting on the unit was missing the lock collar and that is why the tube would blow out seconds after turning on water. I ended up removing the fitting and went to a local hardware store and bought a replacement. It seems to be working ok now. I also bought a brass fitting with ferrule in case the plastic fails. That red feed tube fitting was the only one missing a lock collar but it caused me a lot of trouble. Perhaps Apec should include a couple extra fittings in their package so a person doesn't get stuck if one fails. Also a base for the tap that can be adjusted for mounting surfaces that are not flat but sloped. That is another adaptation I had to do on mine. My daughter just installed one several days ago and had leaking issues with the metal fittings that attach to the water supply. She tried reaching Apec Customer Service with no success. She had to run to Home Depot for a washer and O ring to get her leaks stopped. The jury is out on the Apec Roes-50 until I see how it performs for a few weeks.

I just want to thank you very much. I followed your video, entirely, for a complete video manual, step by step, on how to do it. Otherwise I would have been literally desperate. In reality we had a previous system which was outdated - so I had to find ways to integrate the previous plumbing solutions with this current APEC system (namely different size tubings of 3/8th and different valves already installed). After having studied your video and the older system, I concluded all I needed were adaptors 3/8 to 1/4 which I got on Amazon. From there it was 5 minutes thanks to your video. Pretty amazing - TRULY grateful, Fil

Perfect install except for one small plastic tube insert that goes in the end of the tubing at the line in valve. It goes in and supports the tubing for the compression nut. It is small but does come in the 📦 box.

You made it so easy!!! Took me almost no time to install. Thank you!!!

Did nobody notice he installed the stages backwards?? Probably the most important step to not mess up.

Thanks for posting watching a couple of vids before I start my install

Thank you for this video! Just installed it and it was very easy! Scariest part was the drilling but i didnt even have to do that since there was a previous hole in the pipe! And there was a hole on the counter already too 🎉

Thank you for this video. Helped me all the way through. We had different water spouts but it worked. Didn’t know that we had to the lines in until you heard a click. We learned the hard way when the water was turned back on lol. Thanks again.

I just bought the system. Great video that makes me confident that I can do this myself! Thank you!

Remarkably helpful, thank you. The paper instructions were detailed, but a solid visual aid made this a simple installation. I’ve got clean drinkable water now.

Thanks for the video. I just installed the same system. You just got a new subscriber. Great channel !!

My R O system is on the way thank you for your it helped me to take the plunge and buy one I was on the fence about it but after your video I jumped on it 😀

Great video. Each step in installation is explained. Thanks for posting. Will install my system today without getting intimidated.

Thank you for the detailed video! I havent completed the install yet, i have full confidence it will be a breeze because of you! 🙏💯

Thank you so much for this! Followed your video tutorial instead of the directions. Was way better and easier to install it thanks to you! I appreciate the hard work you put in to make this video!

Just installed! Was very apprehensive but watched this video and got it done. It did take me 2 and a half hours but I was double and triple checking everything!

I’m glad I watched this and read comments before installing. Thank you.

Thanks Chris! Helped a ton! Added installation notes: Black drain tube-once in, it doesn’t come out. Recommend drilling small pilot hole in drain faucet before drilling with the 1/4 drill bit. Drain pipe is exactly 1/4”, so trim waste from hole and try inserting red pipe first, to be 100% certain hole is big enough. For drilling the counter top hole, other YT vids were very helpful. FYI, the amazon sold $30 Bosh 1/2” bit was too short (it’s 1 1/16”, and my counter is 1 1/8). Be sure to measure your counter. If you already have a hole in your sink, the base of the faucet is 1 3/4, so it will fit a smaller existing hole. Faucet hole position: Make sure there’s enough room on the side to fill a water bottle/cut/whatever you often fill. FYI, the water comes out about 7 1/2” from center of spout (at counter height). It was said, but I want to highlight, the water spout needs to be in the Off position (lever pointed up) when you connect it to the tank. If not, all the pressure will release and your system will not work. Also, my tank was pressurized to about 45 psi. I bought a great $35 Cycplus battery-powered high-pressure pump that brought it up to 70 psi (per manual) and the water comes out 50%-75% faster. It's a fun install. Have a great time!

WOOOOOW!!!! You are such a fantastic teacher! Walking through everything step by step and giving a rationale I feel so confident now in setting up this device today! Thank you

Thank you, very clear step by step. I did it and you save me $450 for installation for a one hour job by a plumber.

Great job Chris. Very clear and informative. The one thing I screwed up? I pulled out the ferals instead of the stoppers. Thanks again, good job.

At 3:30 when three filters are being screwed into the system, they are being installed in the wrong order. The white filter which is supposed to be stage 1 is being installed in the stage 3 slot of the system. Also at 9:30 when you move onto installing the valve setup under the sink, you don't mention the small o-ring that is left over or where it goes relative to the setup until later on when you're installing the system.

Thank you for the video, I watched it before installing my system, very useful! 👍

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. While the instructions included are good, it's even cooler to have a step by step video.

Thanks a lot for the video mate, really useful. I just bought system from ebay and there got no instruction at all. Just little note: try to avoid using teflon tape but hemp dispenser instead. 70 percent of the plumbing troubles are in result of using teflon tape 👍

I appreciate this in depth instruction on installing RO water filters.

Each installation scenario is different, I ended up doing it wrong by attaching the needle valve first (like he does in the video). This is cause If the needle valve is already installed, the space between the cold water line and the wall in most houses is not adequate to freely rotate. You have to first install the coupler

loved this video. very helpful. would’ve been difficult without your help!

If it wasn’t for your guide I most likely couldn’t have set it up, thanks for making it easy man.

I just installed this water system and this video was really helpful! Thank you!!

Great detailed video Chris. Thank you!

Man I tell you your video is so step by step you the best ..

Great tutorial! People like you make RU-vid a better place

Awesome video! It helped me a lot. My product water has low pressure but the set is done thanks to your help 👏👏👏👏

this was such a big help. Step by step. Thank you so much!

Great install video. however I️ think the black drain hose should NOT be pushed so far into the saddle as the hose that far (1/2in or more) inside the pipe may collect solids going down the drain and could lead to a blockage.

Finally an install video for single drain w/ garbage disposal

Thank you man, you saved me a lot of time!

Ooops! At 3:30 you installed the 1st stage filter onto the 3rd stage position. You probably changed the filter since install but its important to put the sediment 1st stage on the right side of the filter.

I followed hour guide. And not the document. The video was great. I added teflon to all joints so it didnt leak at all on first turn up. Also you can use the horizontal pipe to drill thr hole for the black tube. As long as its above the trap.

Good install, noticed the filters might be backwards and so was the drain gasket. The gasket should be installed onto the clamp. this is primarily for future problems, i.e. when, as in this case, the garbage disposal is replaced, the same pipe has to be used or another gasket will need to be purchased. The price isn't so much but the down time due to the "oops I forgot that" factor.

Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful!

Awesome video. Thank you for posting. You make it look easy.

The sequence is from right to left. The right one should be the sediment filter. The middle and the left one should be carbon filters . 3:32

Thank you for this video…. It helped me thru my install !! 👍🏼👍🏼

GREAT VIDEO.THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME AND BE VERY THOROUGH WITH THE STEP BY STEP. THANKS

Thank you so much!! I’m a first time home owner and my wife wanted me to install a water filter. Thanks to this video she was very impressed I actually did it! 😂

Thank you! I followed along and got it installed on the first try.

Great video, I am going to buy this Water filter. Thanks again for the tips.

Nicely done, installing one this weekend.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful

The most professional installation, well done and thank you. Subscribed.

great instruction on installing the 5 stage filters. one area where you drilled the residual drain too close to the garbage disposal discharge black tube. when the garbage disposal turns on the turrential water will fill the drain line you installed. it might interfere the nut from loosen when plumber needs to unclog the piping. looks like below the top P pipe nut will be better suited for the 1/4" drain hole. i had done unclogging plumbing on my kitchen P pipe.

Chris, Enjoyed your video. Just needed you to check your main line (red tube) connections to your water outlet. You should of had a white plastic insert to put into the red tube before you compressed the fitting down. Great job on the video 👍

I found this video very helpful, thanks for sharing this, I could easily install mine with your guides

Excellent video. Only thing you can improve on is you switched up the pre-filters. You put stage 1 on stage 3

You were a big help! Thank you!

thanks much for the detailed video. very useful.

Great video. You explained it perfectly

Great video!! It was perfect for what I was doing. So helpful and well done. Thanks much!

Great job and excellent explanation!

Nice and informative. I hbet the pull down didn't co.e out too fall.

Good Job! Lol? You did that all with a Crescent Wrench very good! Just a Suggestion and since you are good at doing this buy yourself a nice set of Wrenches. I have used Craftsman for over 60 Years! Very good job on this install!

Others may have mentioned these issues but I believe you put the sediment filter in the 3rd stage housing. It goes in the 1st stage housing. Also you failed to put the plastic insert into the end of the red tubing before inserting it into the needle valve.

Awesome, thanks for this!

thanks for this video brother..just got the apec 6 stage system im pretty sure the install will be the same

I just bought the RO90, this video is very detail and very helpful for my installation. But he did switched between 1st and 3rd stage which is wrong.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Really well done. Thanks!

Thanks to you my dear sir I saved on installation. What a fantastic and very informative video. The way you show and explain and the tips… wow well done. Wanted to see what’s your system worth it and how you like it ?

Nice video. Watched it on 2x speed but I really appreciate the detail!

Whatever is being it becomes lot easier when one understands how the system works.

Very Helpful. Thank you!

Amazing work and never seen such a detailed video.

Thank you for your video! you are a great man...

I’m just saying. This was an excellent video.

What a useful video, thanks so much.

Thanks,made installation easier. Was very informative and easy to follow.

Muchas gracias, ya compre el sistema de agua, ahora la voy a instalar tu video me ayudo a ver cómo la voy a instalar

Great video, about to get mine installed now!

Good video , May have mistaken the filter positions of 3-2-1. But the take away is to make sure they correctly align . Over all thank for blue print

Awesome, thank you very much!!!
