APEC WATERSystems FI-CS-2500P Replacement Filter for CS-2500P Water Filtration System

I can't drink any Florida water or eat anything that has been washed in or exposed to Florida water! I researched under-sink filters when I needed to replace the one I had for several years. I reasoned tat there must be a bacteria here that I cannot tolerate. I found this one and it clearly stated that it cleared bacteria. There are 4 models in this line, this one is the only one that said it cleared bacteria. It works perfectly!!! And was less than $100 delivered to door Amazon!!!

Ease of installation and number of 5/5 reviews. The water tastes better than bottled water and we live in S C which is known for poor water quality. The filer on my Samsung Refrigerator broke, and repair wanted $500 to replace a $64 part. I said no thanks. The Apec CS-2500P was a great investment.. Thanks Apec.

Easy to install. Cleans water nicely

this replacement filter is not filtering out chlorine. the previous filters did, in fact it was fine until I put this new filter in. we don't taste it and it only smells when the water is flowing in the sink.not overly concerned because we put that water into another filter tabletop filter anyway.not sure what they changed in these filters.of note our water chlorine content is high imho, acidic aquafer filtered by limestone and then chlorinated in tower.

I installed an instant hot water dispenser that came with an inline filter needing vinyl hose connections. It was ridiculous and leaked, so it was great to find a unit with the 3/8 inch steel braided lines. I installed it to allow for the cold water tap to be filtered also. It was easy to install and works like a charm!

This took about 45 minutes to an hour to install. There are somethings you can look at and get a general idea of how to install them - this really isn’t one of them, but the instructions were good enough to fill in the gaps. You will do yourself a big favor if you scope out the entire installation job before beginning - it will likely save you a little time. If you have 3/8” fittings on your feed and faucet fixture, you likely won’t need the 2nd hose that is included - simply connect the hose you disconnected from the feed (hose the carries water to the faucet) to the output of the filter housing. The should have been made clearer in the instructions. Attaching the filter housing to the mounting bracket (four screws in the top of the unit) is - from my experience, strongly recommended, particularly if you are planning to mount the filter in a cabinet under your kitchen sink like I did.There has been no discernible reduction in water pressure. The APEC brand RO water filtration system comes highly recommended, so I went with their under sink filter. It has only been 2 days, but so far so good. Installation was relatively easy, but could have been a little easier with better instructions - or perhaps a YouTube unboxing video. Minor complaints in the grand scheme of things.

Little pricey but works good.

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.

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.

Product was exactly as described and fitted perfectly.

Both water lines that were provided for hookup were cheap and leaked, I had to go out and buy a set of proper steel braided lines.
