APEC ESPH Replacement Filter Set for Essence RO System vs PUREPLUS 5 Micron 10" x 4.5" Whole House Filter Cartridge

Key Differences

PUREPLUS (A) is a lower-priced 2-pack sediment & carbon replacement aimed at whole-house 5-micron filtration with strong chlorine and sediment reduction but some reports of sediment slipping through. APEC Essence (B) is a higher-capacity replacement targeted to RO Essence-series systems (stages 1–3 and 6) that improves taste and odor but is limited to that RO lineup
