Description of RF 1030 Apex Filter Cartridge by Apex

Granular activated carbon (GAC) is a proven option to remove organic chemicals, odors or tastes to water such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs odor) & chlorine. KDF-55 filter media effectively remove chlorine and heavy metals. Adding Calcite to water gives water alkalinity which offsets the acidity (low pH) of water caused by dissolved carbon dioxide. High chemical absorption capacity. Perfect solution for household of any size. Easy installation. Filter effectively removes hundreds of contaminants from water. Designed to be used in most standard sized housings.

KDF-55 Unfilled Cartridge

Pros: I find the water from this filter tastes better than the alkaline mineral option offered by Apex. The basic variant gives the water a chemical taste. Cons: The KDF-55's gold layer was not filled to the top of the cartridge, leaving a gap that allows air to be trapped between the pre-filter and the KDF-55.

Easy to use once installed

Pros
  • Excellent value for money
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Made in the USA! The water tastes great.

After purchasing this item, I was contacted by Apex who informed me that it wasn't really compatible with my old Apex base and that they needed to send me a new base.

Once they arrive I'll have to disassemble the unit to fit a new base in order for the filter to work with the new apex body. I…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
