SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The system requires very little maintenance. Just change the filter cartridges regularly as suggested below.
Keep the system indoors away from extreme heat or cold temperatures, and run the system within its
reasonable output capacity (i.e. allow the system to rest at least a few hours a day).
To properly maintain your APEC drinking water system,
please use only genuine APEC Water replacement filters at
www.freedrinkingwater.com/filters
Stages 1, 2 Pre-Filters:
Replace every
6-12 months.
(FILTER-SET-QUICK)
(Private well water source: may need to replace pre-filters sooner than
6-8 months due to heavy sediments and other particles.)
Stage-3 Membrane:
City
Water:
Replace every
3-5 years
depending on input
(MEM-90)
water quality, water usage, and prefilter change maintenance
Private Well Water
: Replace every
2-3 years
depending on
well water quality, and prefilter change maintenance.
Stage-4 Carbon Filter:
Replace every
2-3 years
(CT-24CAB)
Important!
It is important to change the 2 pre-filters timely, at least every 6-12 months. The
pre-filters protect the stage-3 membrane. If they are not changed timely and
become over-depleted, the membrane will be damaged and the RO system will be
contaminated.
It’s best to use APEC replacement filters. Using “non APEC” and lesser quality filters
may clog up the RO system and damage the membrane.
