Filtration Stages | Flow Rate | Maximum Operating Pressure | Operating Temperature Range |
| 3 | 10 GPM | 90 PSI | 40 to 125°F | |
Other mention-worthy information:
- Double reinforced polypropylene housings are designed to withstand variations in water pressure and the passing of dangerous chemicals.
- Helps protect appliances and fixtures from iron and mineral stains and deposits.
- There is a wall mounting bracket and special housing wrench included with the purchase to make your life easier when you install the system and service it.
Filtration Technology
- 1st stage – Sediment filter: Is responsible for capturing and trapping dirt, silt, scale, sand, and rust particles down to 30 microns in size. It boasts a washable and reusable design, so you won’t have to spend money on routinely replacing it.
- 2nd stage – Iron filter: Is responsible for reducing iron, iron staining, and the metallic taste in the water. It does this by converting the soluble ferrous iron into insoluble ferric iron by using high-purity manganese dioxide.
- 3rd stage – Carbon filter: Is responsible for eliminating chlorine, taste, odor, and organic compounds that affect the quality of the water you consume. The radial flow GAC even absorbs insoluble ferric iron in order to treat the high iron content in the water.
The filtration media used in the second and third stages need to be routinely replaced. The iron filter in the second stage requires replacement after purifying approximately 80,000 gallon of water, while the carbon filter used in the third stage requires replacement after purifying over 70,000 gallons of water.

|
Flow Rate | System Capacity | System Connection | Media Replacement Time |
| 10 GPM | Max. hardness of 25 grains | 1” FPT bypass adapter | 3-5 years | |
System Analysis
- Helps prolong the lifespan of pipes and home appliances as it reduces scale buildup and solves hard water related issues.
- Recommended for use in 1-3 bathroom houses.
- There are no upkeep costs involved with it, and the system is maintenance-free as well.
- Boasts a 100% environmentally-friendly design granted by the fact that no backwashing is required and due to its salt-free profile.
- Warranted against defects for 10 years after you purchase it.

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Flow Rate | System Capacity | System Connection | Feed Water Temperature |
| 15 GPM | Max. hardness of 25 grains | 1” FPT bypass adapter | 41 to 120°F | |
System Analysis
- Maintenance-free design ensures no hassle is involved with upkeep, while saving you time and money as no expenses or replacements are needed.
- Recommended for use in homes with 3 to 6 bathrooms.
- Helps prolong the lifespan of your household appliances, as well as the pipe system, all without the use of salt or harsh chemicals.
- Boasts an environmentally-friendly design granted by the fact that it does not discharge salt or chemicals into the water.
- Works by neutralizing the hardness causing minerals and turning them into a crystalline form which is resistant to scale.
Avoid installing it outside of the home as cold temperatures will inevitably lead to the system freezing, which results in tank damages that are not covered by the warranty and result in its cancellation caused by improper system installation. This tip applies to the previous model we reviewed as well.
Flagship Series
There are minor design differences between the three models featured in the Flagship series produced by APEC as they all rely on the same filtration media, the catalytic granular activated carbon media to be more precise.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Capacity | Home Size Recommendation | Peak Flow Rate | Filter Media | Auto Self-Cleaning |
| 1,000,000 gallons | 6+ bathrooms | 16 GPM | Catalytic Granular Activated Carbon | ||
Other mention-worthy information:
- All systems produce water ranging in pH level from 6.5 to 7.5.
- A hearty media lifespan of 10+ years is ensures with the systems as long as regular backwashing is performed.
- Automatic pre-programmed electronic control valve stores the operation data and system configuration to enhance efficiency and backwash rate.
Catalytic GAC Filter Capabilities
- It is able to remove chemicals that a regular activated carbon filter couldn’t tackle, like chloramines, for example.
- Extensive internal pore structure of the media makes it able to absorb a higher amount of chemical compounds for a more thorough water purification process.
- Helps improve the taste and smell of the water, while removing other harmful content like VOCs and THMs.
GREEN-CARBON Series
The GREEN-CARBON series entries are basically identical to the Flagship products we previously presented, the sole substantial difference laying in the fact that they don’t feature the automatic pre-programmed electronic control valve we talked about earlier.
