Israel is an arid country which in recent years made a big transition to desalination. The national water company (called "Mekorot") is using >50% desalinated water from the Mediterranean Sea mixed with about 25% water taken from the Galilee sea (which is actually a fresh water lake) and the rest comes from mountain and coastal plain aquifer. Water then travels in the "national conduit" to various regions in Israel.
The water in Israel are heavily treated, mostly because the national conduit is an open system, i.e. water travel in big pipes that are open to air and elements (e.g. rain water), but also because aquifer can become polluted with industrial waster and fertilizers, so does the Galilee sea.
Also chlorine is added and recently fluoride as well. not to mention whatever is picked up from pipes until it reaches the kitchen tap.
Local mineral water companies (with strong brands) draw from fountains in mountainous areas and bottle onsite, but are exposed to the same contamination of aquifer. For instance, one very strong brand I examined had 3 times of what considered (in the U.S) the max safe concentration of nitrates.
I hope I'm successful so far at convincing you why water filtration is important in Israel.
Now comes the question, what are the options? for most people in Israel who don't want to research too much it's these:
1. water pitcher filters, like Brita
2. Tami4 - a water bar that combines carbon filter with UV lamp
3. bottled water, e.g. mineral water
4. there are some local vendors who install advanced water filtration systems like Everpure or some Reverse Osmosis systems
Next, why I think all of the above options are either not sufficient or cost effective
water pitcher filter - relatively cheap but only filters chlorine and stops some sediments like dust. you're still exposed to a lot of chemicals and heavy metals in the water
Water bar vendors - VERY high initial investment (~$1000) and high maintenance (~$150 year), not to mention if their equipment breaks you have to pay for repair. Also it's merely a carbon filter with a UV lamp, with some cold/hot function. I really don't think it's worth the money, especially since the UV lamp is there to kill the germs that grow in the machine itself. important to realize the due to the chlorine and UV treatment by the national water company, small chance of bacteria to survive in Israel's normal tap water.
Bottled mineral water - relatively expensive, need to carry from supermarket, or pay a monthly fee to the vendor to deliver to your house. Also not eco friendly (plastic), exposed to aquifer contamination (almost zero regulation and testing by government) and some say under heat conditions plastic can dissolve into the water.
But most importantly, from TDS meter readings I've made, tap water and mineral water have the same TDS levels, while unlikely that healthy mineral concentration (e.g. calcium, magnesium, potassium) is any different. In some brands mineral water TDS was even much higher than normal tap water.
Local Reverse Osmosis Vendors - at best they are importers who lock you in high maintenance fees. worst case they import cheap chinese systems. You pay a premium for them to import, install and maintain the system for you.
I chose APEC RO-90 after hours and hours of research. It's very important for me to say APEC did NOT ask me to write this review and I'm doing it because I think their product and service is amazing and I'd like to give back.
Even after shipping and Israeli customs fees, the RO-90 was cheaper and more cost effective than any of the alternatives I specified.
What I really like
1. packaging was excellent and the product is robust, The system was intact and I had no worry about that.
2. installation was very easy, everything just connects beautifully. I installed it in a few hours (I like to read the manual very thoroughly)
3. water tastes great, even my pregnant wife who is very sensitive to tastes said she liked it
4. TDS went down from 260ppm (tap water) to 15ppm (after RO-90 treatment)
5. the included tap is elegant and fits nicely on our kitchen counter
6. system is VERY quiet, can't hear it
7. customer service is really good, I already talked to them twice about questions I had, they respond really quickly and their reps are knowledgeable.
8. maintenance is cheap considering the other options, and I have full control over the process.
What I don't like
1. the installation guides needs to be more specific about first run - you shouldn't drink first 2-3 tanks, open the tap and let them drain.
2. the feed water adapter should come with more options, I had to buy 1/2'' to 3/8'' adapter to make it work with my pipes - cost me another $10
What still needs to be tested
1. my water bill, but I checked in my house water gauge that the system stops working once the tank is full, so I'm Ok for now.
2. TDS measures at 15-25ppm at the moment, customer service promised it will go down even further, although I'm fine with that level as well.
All in all, I'm am very happy with this product. water quality is excellent and it gives me peace of mind I've made a cost effective and healthy choice.
Final note:
During my internet research on the long term health concerns of reverse osmosis water I've made some interesting discoveries. This is a long subject and I believe I researched it well enough to make an educated decision. I'm tempted to post my thoughts about it here but this review seems long as it is. perhaps some comments might convince me to update this review with some key learnings. For the time being I would like to say this:
Almost all resources you'll find on negative long term health effects of reverse osmosis water are based on the World Health Organization research from the 80's. That research had some notable flaws in it and it tends to dramatize concerns. I believe that for people living in western countries and use home reserve osmosis system most of those concerns are not relevant. Reverse osmosis water are safe to drink, especially if you consider the alternatives.

We installed this unit and had a arsenic and radon test done after the install. Our arsenic went from 0.020 to 0.0001. Well less than the 0.010 acceptable limit. Most impressive is the radon results, from 15,700 down to <200. The acceptable limit ranges from 2,000 to 10,000 depending on the state.
Because we have a well, we already have low water pressure (42psi), which is on the low side of what is recommended for this unit but acceptable we added the optional permeate pump so our ice maker would work. Our ice maker requires 20psi and as far as I can guess we were getting around 10-15psi. If you have a water filter on the ice maker you can require as much as 40psi unless you put a bypass on it.
After installing the permeate pump not only has our ice maker been working, filling cups/bottles from the RO faucet is much faster. You can order pump directly from Amazon and get it for 50% of the price with free shipping. Aquatec AQUATEC-ERP-1000 Permeate Pump It is the same pump they sell from their website, and you can get the directions for the installation by contacting them. The pump comes with instructions, but they are generic and not optimal. Without the pump, the 4 gallon tank will only fill up to 1.9 gallons, and the output water pressure is considerably less.
I was originally looking at the RO 50 unit but opt'd for the RO 90 as you can use the larger cartridges and won't have to replace them as often.
I am considering replacing the 4 gallon tank with the 14 gallon tank. This would give us a larger reserve and more pressure. With the pump though, we have a 3.1 gallon reserve instead of 1.9 gallon without it, so I don't think we will run out.
Updated (03/24/2019):
We decided to change our filters (stage 1 to 3) again after 6 months instead of 9 months like the first one, because of the horrible look tained black filter we changed out. The second and third pics were the filters we changed out, rustic dark brown stage 1 filter. What a joke when our city officials saying the tap water was safe to drink. I think from now on, we will change stage 1 filter out every 6 month.

I am on a well that was dug last year at 160ft. My water is very hard and has over 700ppm of minerals but is otherwise great quality, no bacteria, no iron or other difficult to treat problems, just very mineral like it was expected in my area. So I installed a water softener to get the hardness down to less than one grain...in order to get ready for RO.
I was looking for a good quality RO system with made in USA or Canada filters. My most important criteria was to get a real Dow membrane which this model has. So, on to this RO unit...
Installation was done in about 2 hours. I am very handy and this was very easy. No leaks, no fuss... clear instruction (which is a frequent complaint with cheep systems). Every thing is high quality, the filter holders, the faucet and all of the hardware is very good...
Water tasted a little metalic the first few days... figure it was the system flushing out (tank and filters). Now don't worry about some black stuff in the first few flushes as this is the loose carbon in the carbon filters, they all do that (all those I have owned...they flush themselves...) . So what I did was drain the tank every time I passed by it in the first few days... then the water taste cleared up real nice. It now tastes like bottled water...
Now, my input is over 700ppm of dissolved solids (varies between 700 and 720)... when I measure the output of this system, it hovers around 20ppm... now that is a 97.3% rejection by the membrane... good job Dow Filmtec ... That is why I wanted an American made membrane...
Now I am not worried about chlorine as I get my water from a well but I also liked the fact that it has 2 carbon stages for other agricultural chemicals...
I would definitely recommend this unit... I am very pleased with the value and ease of installation...

Buyers need to know what their water pressure is, and they need to know that they might need more stuff to make this system work.
The permeate pump does make clicking noises when it's working, and that annoys some people. I found that most of the noise is emitted by the line to the drain, and by attaching some heavier foam rubber to it to stop it rattling on other stuff and to add some mass to it, I was able to reduce the noise to almost unnoticeable levels.
