Answer This Question

Dear Valued Customer, thank you for your inquiry. We recommend replacing the Ultimate inline carbon filter every 3 to 5 years, depending on your water quality and usage habits. Best Regards, Karen APEC Customer Service

    When you taste or smell the chlorine again from City tap water, it's time to replace. If the flow rate of water coming out gets slower, it's time to replace.

      Answer This Question

      Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting APEC Water Systems and I am very happy to help. Inline filters are not commonly mounted so we do not carry a mounting bracket for this I am very sorry but there should be multiple mounting options you can purchase from local hardware stores to mount most items on the wall. Best Regards, APEC Customer Service

                    I purchased this item, along
                    I purchased this item, along with with other filters, about two months ago to replace all 5 filters. A simple diagram to remind me of what hose goes where after all hoses and filters have been removed to explain what filter and host goes where would be nice. Also a checklist of filter order numbers would be nice so customers can get the right item for the right equipment. My RO-90 is not labeled anywhere. Thanks in advance. I will be ordering again in 2030.
