Huadong Feng I agree... But I don't mind if they talk about forthcoming issues with the install that may SAVE us the headache or to suggest hacks with the install, but most of the time youtubers gets side tracked and talk about things that has nothing to do with the task at hand whatsoever and the video turns out boring and extremely long...
Thank you X 100. I am not the most handy but I like to pretend I am. This was the biggest project I have done in the house and your video made it pretty darn easy. Took about two hours. For someone handy, might take an hour or less. I used it to install the RO-90. Almost identical installation!
OMG... what a relief. Love your sped up video. I barely had to fast forward. I guess I'm impatient these days. Again, thanks for making a clear and quick video. Exceptional job.
Thank you so much for showing us your process! I appreciated the "fast forward" (to reduce the length of the video). While the Apec RO-90 did come with instructions, there is nothing like a visual to ensure you are on the right path! Thanks again!
Dude AWESOME video! I have been dreading installing my unit but just finished it up a few minutes ago due to your video. The paper instructions are good but few things beat watching someone actually do it! I did refer to the manual for some details though. Thanks for taking time out to do this video and for not being the typical arrogant douche. Also, thanks for just getting to the point AND for fast forwarding the longer/tedious parts. I had a leak at first and thought I eff'ed up but realized I didn't push the line in far enough into the RO faucet. After fiddling with it and tightening connections, I pushed it in harder and NO more leak. I will be checking out your other videos and may subscribe. You get a thumbs up (like) from me. Thanks again
This was incredible! We got the 6 stage filter and it was still relevant. Thank you for the awesome video. Took me a lot longer than 9 minutes though... impressive!
Appreciate you putting this up.. made it a lot easier to install. The newer models are a lil different but nothing you can't figure out with some common sense! 🙏🏼
Exactly, what I been looking for, a no nonsense video...straight to the point...how to install..I believe I can do it myself...other then the drilling 😀. Thank you much
Thank You! I'm looking at buying and installing this by myself. I wanted to gauge how difficult it would be. If ALLLLL the parts come in the package?? And what tools are necessary before I even start. Looks doable. I'll watch several more times just to feel prepared. GOOD JOB!!!
2:20 - Installing the water supply line onto the needle valve was the part I needed to see. The paper instructions weren't clear on this. I also put it on .25x speed to see it better
Thank you so much! This helped greatly in installing my system! Even though the written instructions are pretty detailed, actually seeing it was even better!
What about the point where you install the red tubing into the needle valve and you're supposed to hear a click, according to the instructions, and then slide the sleeve up to the valve connection, and tighten the compression nut? I'm not hearing a click, nor can I figure out what that means, and the tube just keeps sliding out... Do I have to have the valve open? Closed? A sweet spot?
Nice video, but I could not help but notice that there is a nice horizontal drain pipe that is accessible. Installation of the drain saddle at the top of the horizontal pipe would make the installation quieter.
Great Video man! I think this is the filter system I will put in my new home after closing. I think I can handle the install after watching this video.
Steve Kemper after a year I am very happy with it, I already replaced the first 3 phases cartridges and the old ones are incredibly dirty. Have a good one!
Dude! You seriously need a new set of drill bits! ..Or sharpen them. I just bought an Apec six stage system so thanks ahead of the install for the post. Looks pretty easy. Hope it actually works.
At 7:58, It seems that he applied the Teflon tape in reverse (counterclockwise) instead of clockwise, which is the correct way since the tank nipple thread is a right hand thread. I know this because I have just installed one of my own.
Damn you need some new drill bits. A drill should cut through PVC like butter haha. Good video. Also should get a step drill bit to go through a stainless sink. Stainless is quite hard to drill and will tear up most household level bits.
This has helped so much. Quick question.... how does the system know when to stop feeding water? Once the tank is filled, it would seem that any further water trying to push through the membrane would not be able to and thus the water would just keep running through the waste line.
It has no mechanical or electronic switching parts, it's all based on pressure, if the tank is empty then the pressure differential will favor the system filling out the tank, once filled it will pressure equalize and will stop since there is no pressure differential. In other words: once tank is filled it will stop.
Thanks for your video my friend! Just installed my filter so my pregnant wife (and soon my son) could have clean water that doesn't come from a plastic water bottle. If not for your video I would not have even bought the thing! Much appreciated! Quick question: did you use a 1/4" drill bit for the waste line as the manual instructs? You showed us the 1/4" bit before you began the saddle installation but then it looks like you used more than one drill bit to make that hole. Thanks again! God bless!
I used your video to assemble and install. Unfortunately, I'm in a move situation and now want to take it apart. What is the trick to disassemble these connectors so I can make it easy to transport. Thanks.
Your video was excellent and helpful. Two hour install. I'm guessing that takes 3-4 hours to get initial first water. You simply showed you dumping the water load but it took hours to let it filter the water first? Thanks man.
I bought this system, but I also bought a permeate pump. Is there a video or guide out there that shows how to install these two together? I couldn't find one? :(
PLEASE HELP-----I just learned that i need to replace the Membrane and the 5th stage carbon filter on my RO system. my questions ARE: 1. will any standard membrane fit my RO system {AQUASKY ROT-4}? 2. my 5th stage carbone model is = CL10R0 T33, can i use any replacement with this model number? 3. My ASO {automatic shutt off valve} also needs replacing, can i use any standard ASO from EBAY with 1/4'' fitting- same fitting as mine? I contacted Home Depot, i was told i must get one from the manufacture for my RO system {AQUASKY ROT-4}. is this true? Thank you for your help in advance.
You need to install a new faucet, in parallel to the existing one, so for dish washing you use the normal faucet you have been using so far and only for drinking water you use the new faucet. Keep in mind this system is NOT a whole house water filter, it is intended only for drinking water. You can redirect the waste water for watering your plants.
The dishwasher only uses hot water so the filter wouldn't be used. But I the age of drought why on earth would you install a filter that waste 3-4 times the amount of water you use.
I just put one in, I don't get what I'm seeing at about 4:30 with all the drill bit changing, it's supposed to be 1/4", I used brad point bit that is sharp.
Thanks, I was using WD40, but it would be better if you use 3 in one oil. Drill at a low speed, wear eye protection and lubricate the bit using any oil if you cannot find WD40 or 3 in one or similar lubricants. Let me know if I can help you further down the road, good luck, stay safe
The sink is thin, I think its thickness is less than 0.7 mm. Heat generated from drilling process can be 'ignored', it won't affect the drilled hole precision and drill bit sharpness. If you can't find a coolant, water is adequate. Just my 2 cents.
You are probably correct, but it is good measure always to use something to cool the bit always when cutting metal. If not you risk burning the bit and it becomes a brittle hazard as it can shatter easily hence the eye protection.
Great vid!! I just bought my system. Im gonna use this to help me build it. 1 question...The on and off nozzle on the 4gal tank, can it stay on always? Or does one have to manage it and turn it off when the tank is full?
not sure I follow, by faucet you mean the faucet that comes in the kit or your main sink faucet? not sure how you have three lines coming from the faucet but nothing shouls leak, if something leaks from the kit you bought I would contact the manufacturer
This is the best homemade instruction video on the web. 1) No corny talking 2) Ran in double-time 3) Text instructions at the right time
Rock on! This video was GREAT! Thanks!
Almost word for word what I was going to say. so...ditto!
Im starting to like videos that people simply just do the job instead of talking.
I agree, and also I try to make them shorter than 10 minutes long. Thanks for stopping by!
Huadong Feng I agree... But I don't mind if they talk about forthcoming issues with the install that may SAVE us the headache or to suggest hacks with the install, but most of the time youtubers gets side tracked and talk about things that has nothing to do with the task at hand whatsoever and the video turns out boring and extremely long...
I would prefer some talking but I would agree that too many videos have excessive talking so this is better than that.
A picture's worth a thousand words.
Agreed!
Thanks! Installed my APEC RO-ES50 and only used your video. Took me 2 hours instead of 9 minutes.
How my guy 😂😂😂
Did you use an appropriate air gap for your drain line?
That's the typical time it takes. My friend took 3 hours to get it done but he had to drill the marble countertop.
I'm not even buying this thing and I find your video mesmerizing
Thank you X 100. I am not the most handy but I like to pretend I am. This was the biggest project I have done in the house and your video made it pretty darn easy. Took about two hours. For someone handy, might take an hour or less. I used it to install the RO-90. Almost identical installation!
hey! Crazy times we're living in now...how has your system held up? I'm about to install my RO-90 wish me luck!
OMG... what a relief. Love your sped up video. I barely had to fast forward. I guess I'm impatient these days. Again, thanks for making a clear and quick video. Exceptional job.
Wow, the best video showing how to do I have ever watched. You are a great guy.
This helped me install my system with ease. Last thing remaining is to drill into the top for the faucet position. Thanks!
Thank you so much for showing us your process! I appreciated the "fast forward" (to reduce the length of the video). While the Apec RO-90 did come with instructions, there is nothing like a visual to ensure you are on the right path! Thanks again!
What a great video. This will save me $159 for "propfessional installation." Video LIKED!
That was awesome, the time lapse saving lots of time while clearly showing the process.
Thank you for the help! Used this video alone to help install my Ro-Hi 90 Apec RAo system.
Perfect. Going to install this exact system when I get home tonight, and now I feel like I'm already familiar with it.
Dude AWESOME video! I have been dreading installing my unit but just finished it up a few minutes ago due to your video. The paper instructions are good but few things beat watching someone actually do it! I did refer to the manual for some details though.

All action, no time wasting fillers. Wish more install videos are done this way.
Just an update. Just finished installing the filter with the help of this great vid. Works perfectly as shown. Thank you, again. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This was incredible! We got the 6 stage filter and it was still relevant. Thank you for the awesome video. Took me a lot longer than 9 minutes though... impressive!
If you follow this guy, you can install any ro system. To the point and great camera angles. Cheers mate
Appreciate you putting this up.. made it a lot easier to install. The newer models are a lil different but nothing you can't figure out with some common sense! 🙏🏼
Spot on. Thank you so much. More simpler than the instruction
Best how-to vid I've seen. I was about to return it, but after seeing this, I will install. Thanks!!
Much more straight forward than the instructions even. Thanks so much!
Thank you ! I'm a chinese . I bought a RO-90,but I still think your video is very helpful !
Exactly, what I been looking for, a no nonsense video...straight to the point...how to install..I believe I can do it myself...other then the drilling 😀. Thank you much
Thank you - I was afraid to tackle. But you make it look possible for an amateur and love the no talking. Great help!
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. It helped me a lot. I appreciate it
Thanks for video. I just received APEC system yesterday. Will put it on this weekend.
My god you work fast! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank You! I'm looking at buying and installing this by myself. I wanted to gauge how difficult it would be. If ALLLLL the parts come in the package?? And what tools are necessary before I even start. Looks doable. I'll watch several more times just to feel prepared. GOOD JOB!!!

corey333p yes they were you over looked it lol
Thank you so much! This helped greatly in installing my system! Even though the written instructions are pretty detailed, actually seeing it was even better!
Excellent instructional video! I wish they were all like this.

This video gave to me all the information need it for get this item, thanks
this video made it easy for me to install my filter. .. thanks brother much appreciated
thank man , right to the point straight forward.
Hey thanks alot for this video. I was able to install my water system with just watching your video and following along. This is very helpful.
Thank you SO much!! :)
I learning by watching. I accomplish by doing.
Dude! You seriously need a new set of drill bits! ..Or sharpen them. I just bought an Apec six stage system so thanks ahead of the install for the post. Looks pretty easy. Hope it actually works.
ty for the the video, made the job simple.
Thanks for the video. But you forgot to flush the main three filters first before they go to RO filter otherwise will damages it
At 7:58, It seems that he applied the Teflon tape in reverse (counterclockwise) instead of clockwise, which is the correct way since the tank nipple thread is a right hand thread. I know this because I have just installed one of my own.
I was about to say that. I was looking to see if anyone caught it. haha.
Thank you for the video!
Damn you need some new drill bits. A drill should cut through PVC like butter haha. Good video. Also should get a step drill bit to go through a stainless sink. Stainless is quite hard to drill and will tear up most household level bits.
thank you for video, I would like to know what size wrench you used to tighten the nut under the faucet? Thank you.
Awesome video! Extremely efficient. TY
Thank you for the video. I'm deciding between this on and the Express water filter due to ratings and price. I think I'll go with this one.
This video helped me a lot, thank you!
Great video!!! Thanks for posting! I'm installing mine today.
Thank you for making this video. It was a huge help
Nice! This was super helpful. Thanks dude.
Well done!
Awesome....excellent way to teach...thanks brother!
Not sure but I think the drain hose should be attached to the horizontal drain pipe on the top side to avoid any leaks just saying not sure
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing
This has helped so much.
Quick question.... how does the system know when to stop feeding water?
Once the tank is filled, it would seem that any further water trying to push through the membrane would not be able to and thus the water would just keep running through the waste line.
It has no mechanical or electronic switching parts, it's all based on pressure, if the tank is empty then the pressure differential will favor the system filling out the tank, once filled it will pressure equalize and will stop since there is no pressure differential. In other words: once tank is filled it will stop.
Do you have to use the faucet it comes with? Need to use the aquarium water change vacuum that attaches to the sink faucet
Thanks, simple and instructive.
Bravo best video
Thank you 🙏
Nice video. I have a question . Is always draining water ? I mean all the time ?. Thanks
not really. only when it's filling the tank, usually after using it
Thanks for your video my friend! Just installed my filter so my pregnant wife (and soon my son) could have clean water that doesn't come from a plastic water bottle. If not for your video I would not have even bought the thing! Much appreciated!

Emilio José Rodríguez Yeah, I could not get the drill bit to engage so I went with a smaller diameter
dvbdvbdvb Makes sense. Thanks again!
nice video but damn bro sharpen your frickin drillbits lol
Very helpful vid. Thanks for posting.
Thanks, this video was great help.
I used your video to assemble and install. Unfortunately, I'm in a move situation and now want to take it apart. What is the trick to disassemble these connectors so I can make it easy to transport. Thanks.
great video. thank you very much.
Thanks a lot!!
thank you very much it was very helpful
No 1 Best video thanks!!!
Do I need to install the little tank? Or installing hose straight to the faucet will work?
Your video was excellent and helpful. Two hour install. I'm guessing that takes 3-4 hours to get initial first water. You simply showed you dumping the water load but it took hours to let it filter the water first? Thanks man.
Mark Baker not really, I don't recall exactly but it was maybe 30 mins tops
I bought this system, but I also bought a permeate pump. Is there a video or guide out there that shows how to install these two together? I couldn't find one? :(
Great video! Thank you!
No Teflon tape at any of the joints?
Thank you!
PLEASE HELP-----I just learned that i need to replace the Membrane and the 5th stage carbon filter on my RO system. my questions ARE:

Thank you for your help in advance.
Wait this system will waste 3-4 gallon of water per clean gallon? Can you switch back to the normal water for dish washing?
You need to install a new faucet, in parallel to the existing one, so for dish washing you use the normal faucet you have been using so far and only for drinking water you use the new faucet. Keep in mind this system is NOT a whole house water filter, it is intended only for drinking water. You can redirect the waste water for watering your plants.
Thank you very much for the tips. Will ask my folk about this idea of using it to water plants.
The dishwasher only uses hot water so the filter wouldn't be used. But I the age of drought why on earth would you install a filter that waste 3-4 times the amount of water you use.
Where did I miss you pre charging the reservoir to 5-7 psi????
Thank you for not stupid music!
I just put one in, I don't get what I'm seeing at about 4:30 with all the drill bit changing, it's supposed to be 1/4", I used brad point bit that is sharp.
Great job 👍🏻
What’s the drain for?
Thanks so much for posting this! What did you use to spray on the sink and drill bit to keep them cool while you were drilling?
Thanks, I was using WD40, but it would be better if you use 3 in one oil. Drill at a low speed, wear eye protection and lubricate the bit using any oil if you cannot find WD40 or 3 in one or similar lubricants. Let me know if I can help you further down the road, good luck, stay safe

hello what is the best tank air pressure!!!
thanks for the video!
whats with the concrete bits?
Awesome video ! Thank you for making it ! I wish there was an alternative to Teflon. Maybe there is ?
Teflon paste
Fantastically Produced. Subbing just to support you.
Great vid!! I just bought my system. Im gonna use this to help me build it. 1 question...The on and off nozzle on the 4gal tank, can it stay on always? Or does one have to manage it and turn it off when the tank is full?
SAN MAN it's always on, mine is still working great. Very low maintenance.
dvbdvbdvb awesome! Thank you.
Did you notice cloudy water at first?
Really wanted this but I live in apartments so drilling holes in pipes probably a bad idea
Could you pipe the discharge line through the wall and outside into a barrel to water plants with instead of wasting all that water?
yes! you can do that, I am planning on rerouting it.
Do I need to change the faucet if there is water leaking out of one of three fitting lines coming from faucet ? Please someone answer .
not sure I follow, by faucet you mean the faucet that comes in the kit or your main sink faucet? not sure how you have three lines coming from the faucet but nothing shouls leak, if something leaks from the kit you bought I would contact the manufacturer
Can somebody please inform me when there water is leaking from one of the fitting line coming from fauc
Hello, I’m ordering one on it’s way. What size of the hole I have to drill for the faucet ?
1/4"
NIce job, are you pro ?
