As many parts of the country continue to experience poor air quality due to the Canadian wildfires, water quality might not be top of mind. It probably should be, though, considering a recent study from the US Geological Survey showed that 45% of US tap water is contaminated with PFAS, better known as “forever chemicals.” Needless to say, a water filter should be on your shopping list to ensure your drinking water is as safe as possible.
The APEC Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System is an Amazon bestseller that’s backed by more than 8,800 perfect ratings, with one shopper saying it provides a “significant improvement in water quality.” Right now, it’s on sale for just $200, which is a steal since getting one of these types of systems installed can cost upwards of $1,000.

A 2020 study found that reverse osmosis filters, a type of water purification process, are over 90% effective in removing “forever chemicals” from drinking water. That means it’s probably time to ditch your filtered water dispenser and upgrade to an under-sink water filter that not only can be more effective but also can purify more water in less time.
The APEC system, in particular, uses long-lasting filters, premium-grade and leak-free tubing, and a lead-free designer faucet in order to provide your home with purified water. It has a 50-gallon capacity and is capable of removing up to 99% of impurities, including chlorine, arsenic, lead, and “forever chemicals” while still offering feed water pressure of 40-85 psi. It’s compatible with most kitchen sinks and is “easy to install,” according to hundreds of reviewers.
“This is far and away one of the best purchases I've made for our home,” wrote a shopper. “Before having this RO unit, our tap water was horrible. So now, we're easily saving $1,000 a year [on bottled water], our water tastes fantastic, and we can finally use our ice-maker on the fridge.”
Your health should be a top priority and if a reverse osmosis water filter system can help improve the drinking water in your home, it might be worth the investment. With regular filter changes every six months, it can last for years to come.
