Nicely put together filter set
"Order these about 1 xs per year based on our water usage. I clean the sediment filter about 4 times a year just to see what’s coming from the city."







The APEC 3-stage specialized filter set FILTER-SET-CB3-CBC-20BB comes with three (3) 20” BB specialty filters to effectively treat a wide variety of water concerns. It is compatible with APEC point-of-entry whole house system CB3-SED-CAB-CBC20-BB and other system using industry standard 4. 5” X 20” housings.
The 1st stage sediment filter captures and traps dirt, sand, silt, scale and rust particles down to 30 microns. This durable polyester filter has a pleated design to maximize dirt-holding capacity and is washable and reusable. The 2nd stage is a radial flow granular activated carbon (GAC) cartridge that combines with outer and inner spun polypropylene filtration for reduced sediment and reduced carbon fines. The 3rd stage extruded carbon block further adsorbs chlorine, odors, taste and organic compounds.
This 3-stage filter set is uniquely designed for versatile use to meet all of your large capacity filtration needs, suitable for simple whole house filtration, light commercial use or industrial applications with a fast flow rate.

"Order these about 1 xs per year based on our water usage. I clean the sediment filter about 4 times a year just to see what’s coming from the city."
"The installation was easy, and we have no more chlorine smell from our water! This was our first replacement set, that I swapped out in 20 minutes for another year of clean water!"
"The system works GREAT! A huge improvement in the water, the sinks and toilets (greenish hue stains gine for good). BUT, Can anyone tell me how often to replace the filters in months rather than gallons of water? Thank you"
"A short time after adding a fluoride filter to my CB3-CBC-SED set my water pressure became so bad I had to bypass the whole system. I have been unable to remove the fluoride filter but plan to do that soon. Am I the only person this has happened to??"
"Makes a huge difference in the quality of our water"
"I appreciate the ease of installation and the resuling good fresh water"
"I installed the whole house filter system last year and was dreading having to replace the filters. It was the easiest most simple replacement ever."
"Just bought these filters as I had left the other ones in WAY TOO LONG! APEC was helpful in telling me what to do with it and getting it replaced. Have great water again."
