just unscrew the casings and remove/replace filters.
You may need the filter wrench as they should be pretty tight.
Change mine every 3 months but I have a requirement of around
9000 liters of pure per week  :o :o
After you have changed them make sure you flush for at least an hour
afterwards before putting it back on production.

Get a tea towel or something dry even a scrim and try that,can be  tough though.

Third one down
If I was you I would definately wait until you have
the wrench it makes it a doddle  ;) ;)
If you use something else you could break the housing.

If your TDS is below 10, I would wait for the wrench.

I use an oil filter strap wrench that I got from the local car parts shop, cost about £5 and does the job ideally.

Change mine every 6 months

How much pure do you produce a week, Ian? and what's your product/waste ratio?

the main filter we need to be worried about is the carbon filter, as the clorine gets into the RO membrane and rots it
