APEC Water PHPLUSKIT-38 Alkaline Inline Filter Kit, 10 Inch

This APEC PHPLUSKIT-38 alkaline filter is a solid upgrade for any reverse osmosis system. It noticeably improves the taste of the water by adding a clean, slightly smoother mineral balance without any odd aftertaste. The build quality feels durable, and installation was straightforward with no leaks or complications. It’s a great way to enhance RO water for everyday drinking, making it taste fresher and more natural. A dependable addition for anyone wanting better-quality filtered water at home.

APEC......... Freedrinkingwater.com THE BEST! I've been drinking Reverse osmosis water since 1981 and never worried about the minerals because I am very careful about my diet. Enter fish that need their minerals (hardness) cared for, and I finally sprang for the mineral filter. A few years ago, I got the separate container for the filter and gave the thing away. This is just a filter to plug into the hoses. DO IT! I had no idea how good the water would be! It actually tastes like water now! I'll never be without one!

I have RoHi and adding this filter was really easy. Taste is pretty much the same with or without it. It lower flow a little bit.

Love adding the alkalinity and minerals back into my water. After I purify it lowers acidity of the water I notice it. I love my Apec ro system

If you look at most bottled water they add calcium carbonate for added flavor because the water would taste stripped. I purchased a warehouse deal to save a little money it was not used people don't understand also when they just buy the filter they just have little plugs in the end and they say it's not wrap well it doesn't need to be wrapped it's protected nobody used it before if they did water would come out of it. This lasts me about a year. Just one caveat the manufacturer answered in a question that made sense first thing in the morning let the filter run a little bit say about 45 seconds because water was sitting in the filter overnight which would cause it to be a little stronger with the minerals I also run the cold tap water at the same time so that water that was sitting in the pipe doesn't go into the RO system just to give it more life. Also a lot of people misconceive this doesn't really raise your pH if it is too low or too high it will balance it out. Also those pH meters are not really accurate I compared it to a alkaline water that was 8.8 and it showed higher about two points so I used my base from that. There is a lot of learn a lot about a RO system but this was my first one I bought from APEC on a warehouse deal I did upgrade it though to the 3/8 upgrade kit and it does come out a lot of faster at first for filling cups up or coffee pots saves me time. You do save money sometime on warehouse deal so keep an eye out I bought the yearly up graded filters in a kit that included the membrane and and a finishing filter for under the price of just those upgraded filter so I'm good for when I need to change the membrane. They are kind of expensive these mineral filters at full price but you can also go to the company's website at free drinking water dot com and maybe get a cheaper when they have sales. But it does taste a lot better than being just stripped water which I don't like but as I may have said look at a plastic bottled water and see the ingredients. Hope I've helped

If you have a Reverse Osmosis (RO) drinking water system you should definately install one of these. The RO system is so good at removing impurities, it even removes all the minerals. While this might sound like perfect water, it is far from that. Without minerals in the water, when you drink that water, it will leach those minerals out from your bones. You see, water "wants" to be mineralized, which is why it leaches minerals out of the ground. This device will solve the problem. You will have drinking water with none of the nasties and all of the minerals, just like back when we were cavemen, and the cavewomen were dragging us into the caves by our hair for some R&R. I might have that part slightly wrong. So get you a RO system, install this hunk of loveliness, and you'll be ready to go T-Rex hunting!

This kit comes with mounting clips for attaching the filter on top of the final stage filter on your APEC RO system. It seems to work well, with no leaks (yet). The water tastes good to me - and my partner, who is much more fussy than me. The replacement filters aren’t particularly cheap though.

I bought this to neutralize my water. I have well water with a softener at the entrance and carbon filter at the point of use. I tested it at Penn State's lab and it failed for pH, measuring 5.87. The test report (and NSF's website) suggested a calcite or calcium carbonate neutralizer filter. I bought this to put on the cold line of a single faucet. Installation was definitely a breeze, the stab on connectors are excellent and leak-proof. I had to buy 3/8" JG to 1/2" NPT adapters to connect to my plumbing. It took me 3 minutes to install. Very cool. I followed the directions, installed in the proper direction of flow, downstream of the softener and carbon filters, and flushed the filter for 10 minutes. I yielded no discernible difference in pH. My water still measures pH 5.87. After measuring multiple samples over 2 weeks with consistent results, I conclude this filter is ineffective. I do not recommend this to neutralize well water with low pH.

Barely increased PH, even at low flow rates.

Adds just the right amount of ph to our drinking water. Only downside is having to buy the install kit everytime
