Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter
The Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter is a unique water filtration system. It’s like a super-advanced Britta faucet filter, one that takes things to a whole new level.
Who is This Product For?
The Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter is designed for anybody who wants clean drinking water that contains healthy minerals while not requiring a massive whole house water filtration system. This unit is small, convenient, and it gets the job done.
What’s Included?
When you purchase the Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter, you get a small countertop filtration unit that comes with the five-stage filter media and connectors for your kitchen sink. It’s a very simple unit, as you can tell.
Overview of Features
Right off the bat, what stands out about the Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter is how easy it is to connect to a kitchen sink. Unlike many under-sink water filtration systems, this one doesn’t come with multiple bulky cartridges or a large water tank. It is very space efficient in this sense, as it doesn’t take up space under the counter.
In terms of connecting it to your sink, as long as you have a standard sink, you just need to screw it onto the tap, screw it on, and you are good to go.
Now, that said, be aware that while installing it on a standard sink takes just a few seconds, the Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter will not connect to specialty faucets such as a sprayer, pull-out, or designer faucets.
While the Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter does not take up space under the counter, it takes up space on the counter. It measures 12 x 4.5 x 4.5 inches, which is not huge, but it still has to sit on your counter nonetheless, and no, it’s not exactly the most stylish thing around.
Although the Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter may not be the prettiest thing in your kitchen, it does its job very well, water filtration. This is a five-stage filter that comes with various types of water filtering media that, when combined, have the power to remove virtually all compounds, toxins, odors, smells, and colors from your water.
Let’s take a quick look at what each of these five stages entails:
- The first stage is an excellent KDF filter that can remove chloramines, heavy metals, and microorganisms from the water.
- The second stage is a coconut shell-activated carbon filter that removes bad tastes, smells, odors, and chlorine.
- The third stage consists of alkaline beads that add minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium to the water.
- The fourth stage is another activated carbon filter. The fifth stage is a calcite filter that raises the pH level of the water.
The Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter makes the water more alkaline and healthy because it contains plenty of minerals that your body needs, but that said, it does taste a bit funny.
Tutorial
The only thing you really need to keep in mind about the Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter is that the cartridge needs to be replaced regularly.
On average, expect it to last for 600 to 800 gallons. Moreover, to install this filter, all you need to do is screw it onto your standard tap. It couldn’t be much easier than that.
Pros

- Five stages of filtration
- Cost-effective
- Takes up no space under the counter

Alternatives
There’s no denying that the Apex Countertop Drinking Water Filter is small. Suppose you would rather have a larger under-sink filter that also uses reverse osmosis. In that case, something like the APEC Water Systems ROES-PH75 Essence Series Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System could be better for you.
If you want an RO under-sink filter that does not use up much space because it does not have a water storage tank, the Waterdrop RO Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System could be right for you.
