Review on 🚰 Healthier Water Filtration: Certification for Lead Free Filters by Dave Russell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful faucet, needs material upgrade for installation

I installed several APEC water filtration systems under the sink. At one point I wanted a brushed stainless steel finish (it comes with polished chrome) and I found that. It looks fantastic and the operation of the pen/cartridge is smooth with good adjustment and no leaks. The problem is that it comes with a very thin lock nut. on a threaded rod and lousy 1/4" polyethylene connection hardware. I opted for higher quality fittings and was lucky enough to have a very handy kitchen sink wrench to tighten the under counter faucet. Since you probably (hopefully) only use this thing I will install it once and it will last a few years, I didn't lower the price much because of my installation issues. If I had to install them every day I would have spares on hand or order something else." I am very happy with this faucet. I. When you buy a filter. The APEC WFS-1000 flushing filter is great. It's not reverse osmosis, but it works very, very well. MUCH better, cheaper and way better. " Less counter or fridge than Brita or PUR. It's a WINNER!
