What the APEC ROES-UV75-SS removes

"Certified" means a certifier (NSF, WQA, IAPMO or CSA) lists this exact product for that reduction claim; the listing is linked. "Brand test only" means APEC cites a lab report but no certifier lists the claim. See certified vs. tested.

Contaminant	Status	Evidence
Lead	Brand test only	APEC (brand claim, no tester named): "Arsenic, lead, fluoride, chromium, radium, bacteria, viruses, cysts (list)"
Fluoride	Brand test only	APEC (brand claim, no tester named): "Arsenic, lead, fluoride, chromium, radium, bacteria, viruses, cysts (list)"
Arsenic	Brand test only	APEC (brand claim, no tester named): "Arsenic, lead, fluoride, chromium, radium, bacteria, viruses, cysts (list)"
Cysts	Brand test only	APEC (brand claim, no tester named): "Arsenic, lead, fluoride, chromium, radium, bacteria, viruses, cysts (list)"
Bacteria and viruses	Brand test only	APEC (brand claim, no tester named): "Arsenic, lead, fluoride, chromium, radium, bacteria, viruses, cysts (list)"

Not verified, either way (no certification or brand claim): PFAS, Chlorine, Chloramine, Nitrate, Chromium 6, Mercury, Microplastics, VOCs, TDS, Iron, Copper, Uranium, 1,4-dioxane.

What it costs to run

Yearly cost = replacements per year × filter price, for each filter it uses; a filter is replaced at its gallon rating or its month limit, whichever comes first, plus the water sent to the drain at an average water and sewer price. Water use: drinking and cooking water (0.28 gallons per person a day, EPA's average adult intake).

Household	Gallons a year	Filters a year	Drain water	Total a year	Per gallon
1 person	102	—	ratio not published	—	—
2 people	204	—	ratio not published	—	—
4 people	409	—	ratio not published	—	—

Rated production is 75 gallons a day; 2 people need about 0.56 — well within it. Colder water and lower pressure reduce actual output.
