It features friction-welded, glue-free construction and quick connect fittings for easy, leak-free installation. Ideal as a final stage polisher for reverse osmosis systems, it safely neutralizes acidity and reduces corrosiveness, delivering balanced, high-quality drinking water. ## Description The PHPLUSKIT-14 cartridge is a super high capacity, naturally occurring ph increaser. It is for general drinking water ph increase purposes. It can also be used as an Reverse osmosis polisher if desired (installed at the last stage). since it is sacrificial, the calcite acid cartridge will add 2-5 ppm of hardness to the water. This is also an excellent way to reduce the corrosiveness low tds water. This filter is constructed totally from FDA grade materials and media. This calcite filter will deliver a neutral effluent form acidic feed as low as Ph5. Low ph's require slower flow rates. One of the advantages of calcite is its self-limiting property. When properly applied, it corrects ph only enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium. It does not overcorrect under normal conditions. Upon contact with calcite, acidic water slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate to raise the ph. APEC Water Systems does not distribute or sell our products to any 3Rd party sellers on desertcart.

I ran 3 gallons through it before drinking. It got even better as we used more.Really fresh and refreshing drinking it. I'm glad I got it. Easy to install too. About 5 minutes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best tasting water I've ever had in the home! *by on Reviewed in the United States 1 February 2024* I have a 5 stage RO system in the kitchen which also feeds the icemaker in the fridge. RO water was ok and didn't have an off taste, but I was concerned about the water being to acidic. When you drank it, it was leave your throat with a dry-like feeling. Nothing major, but I thought I'd give this mineralizer a try. SO glad I did. The water tastes great and is far more refreshing! I find myself drinking much more water now than I ever have. I haven't had it long enough to tell how long this will last before needing replacement, but I will definitely purchase again. Only took 10 minutes to install and the kit had everything I needed to do so. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You need this! *by on Reviewed in the United States 27 June 2017* I've had the Apes RO system for about 2 years now. Initially our TDS was at a 4 (yes, 4) when it first installed. After 2 years of constant use by a family of 4, the TDS is up to a 7, still in a great range. I was curious what the PH was and bought a tester. With the TDS at 7, the PH was down at a 6! Not too acidic, but not where it should be for normal drinking water.This PH+ kit is super simple to install. Took me a total of 6 minutes, and 4 of those were getting tools before the install and putting them away after I was done. After flushing this for the recommended time, our TDS went up to 19 and PH went up to 8.5. There is no real noticeable change in test, slight change in feel of the water as it is more wet if that makes sense. The taste is more crisp now without the dirt flavor like Fiji water.Overall a great addition to our Apec RO system, highly recommended! You need this! Buy it now! ## Frequently Bought Together - APEC Water Systems PHPLUSKIT-14 US MADE 10" Alkaline High Purity pH+ Calcium Carbonate Inline Filter Kit with 1/4" Quick Connect - APEC Water Systems FILTER-SET-ES High Capacity Replacement Pre-Filter Set For Essence Series Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System Stage 1-3 - APEC FI-ES-TCR-QC 10" High Capacity Inline Carbon Filter with 1/4" Quick Connect Stage-5 For Undersink Reverse Osmosis Water System --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/323098258-apec-water-systems-phpluskit-14-us-made-10-alkaline-high](https://www.desertcart.no/products/323098258-apec-water-systems-phpluskit-14-us-made-10-alkaline-high) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
