Filter Performance
In terms of performance and efficiency, both Waterdrop and APEC water filter give each other a tough time to take the lead. Waterdrop takes a slight lead in terms of contaminant reduction, as it even targets microscopic bacteria and TDS particles. The filtration procedures for both filters are similar because they feature RO membranes.
However, Waterdrop is slightly advanced because it has a composite filter technology, where a filter handles multiple stages of filtration. At the same time, Waterdrop has many certifications, such as NSF/ANSI 58 & 372 Certified, and so on.

Both Waterdrop and APEC water filtration systems can be installed by yourself; no need for a plumber. Waterdrop offers unparalleled convenience in installation, with its pre-assembled and compact design ensuring faster setup compared to APEC. Many reviews of this APEC water filter mention that there is a common issue of water leakage.
Waterdrop prioritizes user-friendly installation and maintenance, requiring no special tools or plumbing knowledge. Additionally, we provide convenient customer services and filter replacement reminders.
