Thank you for choosing APEC reverse osmosis systems.
You now own the finest water filter in America.
Please read and become familiar with instructions and parts needed before proceeding with the
installation.
(This manual is constructed for standard APEC Essence ROES-PHUV75 System.)
BEFORE INSTALLATION:
Inspect the system:
Please take the system and all the components out of the box. Inspect the system and all the connection
fittings carefully, make sure nothing is damaged during shipping. If any part is cracked or broken, please
do not proceed with the installation and contact APEC or your distributor for an exchange or diagnosis.
Recommended tools list:
xVariable speed drill
xDrill bit:1/4” (for the drain line), 1/8” (as pilot, not mandatory), and 1/2” (for standard faucet
hole, air-gap faucet requires 1”d hole)
x5/8”, 9/16” open-end wrench, or adjustable wrench, pliers
xPhillips screwdriver
xUtility knife, or scissors
xTeflon tape
Operating Parameter
xOperating pressure: 40 – 85psi maximum
xFeed water temperature: 40 – 100 ºF (4-37 ºC)
xFeed water TDS level: 2000ppm maximum
xDo not connect this unit to hot water source
xInstall the RO in a sheltered environment, avoid exposure to hot and cold weather or under direct
sun light.
General Installation/Operation/Maintenance Requirements
xInstallation needs to comply with state and local laws and regulations.
xSystem must be installed indoor away from possible environmental damage
xDo not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected
water that may contain filterable cysts.
xThis reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment component critical for effective re-
duction of total dissolved solids. The product water shall be tested periodically to verify that system
is performing satisfactorily.

THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO INSTALLING THE RO SYSTEM:
Assemble the filters and housings onto the main system
Installing the system
The RO Membrane Element has already been pre-installed.
PART I. ASSEMBLE THE FILTERS AND HOUSINGS ONTO THE MAIN SYSTEM
Remove plastic/paper wrappings on the 3 filters and housings, put filters into the 3 housings, and assemble
the housings onto the main system as follows:
Stand the 3 housings upright. Make sure each housing has a rubber O-ring in its groove.
Put the Essence sediment filter (FI-ES-SED10) into the “1st stage” housing on the right.
Put the Essence carbon filters (FI-ES-CAB10) into the “2nd and 3rd stage” housing in the
middle and left.
Starting from the 3rd stage housing on the left, hand twist the housing onto the main system
turning counterclockwise, one by one, for all 3 housings.
Use the wrench provided to completely tighten the housing starting from 1st-stage. Repeat this
step for the 2nd stage housing in the middle, and for the 3rd stage housing on the left.
Note: For some people it is easier to use the wrench with the system laid down (face up).

Step 1: Feed Water Connection
The RO system must be connected to the COLD water supply only!
1. Locate the Cold water supply valve under the kitchen sink (the round or oblong handle on
the right side). Turn off the incoming cold water completely by turning the shut off handle
clockwise.
Note: If the cold water shut off valve can not turn off the water, the main water supply
to the house must be shut off for the installation. Another option is to use a “self
piercing saddle valve” from APEC or from a local hardware store.
2. Feed Water Adaptor (1/2” to 3/8”): See Fig. 4. The Feed Water Adaptor comes with a
separate Needle Valve. The Adaptor goes inline onto your 1/2” or 3/8” cold water pipe. The
Needle Valve portion screws onto the Adaptor as shown in Fig. 4A.
A. 1/2” x 3/8” Female-Male Water Supply Adapter
with O-ring.
B. 1/2” x 3/8” Male-Female Converter with O-ring.
C. 1/4” x 1/8” Male Needle Valve.
PART II. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM
Space: Make sure there is sufficient space under the counter for installation (an area of about 17”L x
6”W x 18”H for the system, 11”D x 18”H for tank).
The RO system is best installed under the kitchen sink. But if that is not feasible you can install the system
anywhere where there is a cold water supply with sufficient water pressure for the chosen RO model, and
an outlet to drain off the drain water from the system.
Mounting: No need to mount the RO system on the wall. The RO system can stand in the sink cabinet
without mounting, this makes future filter change easy and convenient. If you prefer to mount the system
to the wall, please make sure it can be taken down easily for filter replacement.
Feed Water: RO systems are designed to treat both hard and soft water and can handle incoming TDS
levels up to 2,000 ppm.

Attach the needle valve (C) to water supply adapter (A). Please apply 4-5 wraps of
teflon tape to needle valve prior to connecting it to the water supply adapter (A).
Fig. 4B - If your pipe has a 1/2” Connection.
By attaching the 1/2” x 3/8” converter (B) to the Male end of the water supply adapter
(A), you now have a 1/2” Male and Female water supply adapter.

3. Recommend Connection For Flex Line Riser: See Fig. 5A. & Fig. 5E Loosen nut and separate cold
water riser tube from shut off valve. Gently bend riser tube so that the Feed Water Adapter (Fig. 4) fits
onto the shut off valve. Connect the riser tube, feed water adapter, and shut off valve together and
tighten.
For Solid Copper Riser: See Fig. 5B. Follow the same procedure as for flex line. If the copper riser
cannot bend, this it’s best to replace it with a flex line riser. Fit the feed water adaptor to the shut off valve
the same way as described above.
Option Connection Point: See Fig. 5F. The feed water adapter can also be installed between the riser
tube and faucet shank. Loosen nut and separate cold water riser tube from faucet shank. Gently bend
riser tube so that the Feed Water Adapter fits onto the faucet shank. If your riser tube has no built-in
washer, then fit the cone-shaped washer provided onto the riser tube. Connect the riser tube, feed water
adapter, and faucet shank together and tighten.
