Thanks! So glad it helped you. I feel "unstoppable" sometimes because of all the fabulous information people post for each other on 'the web"...keep it up America!

You are so welcome. We did it because we couldn't figure out how, and once we did we thought...hey...there are probably a lot of people out there with this same system that are having, or going to have trouble! Thank God for the Internet!

Manufacturers don't make videos like that because they are meant to be worked on by a professional. You have a good video. There are a couple of things i would of done differently being an installer and service tech. That being said i will be making a serious of videos for service and installations of this systems.

Thank you for great advice! Here is what was extrimly helpful for me. I had difficulty unscrew filter cartridges. But then I did as you say, draining water out of tank. Then I was able to unscrew cartridges.Thank you again you was very helpful!

Thanks. This was helpful. Another thing to consider is to check the o-rings below the thread. If this is compromised you could flood your house. Remove the o-ring to inspect for cracks, etc. Before reinstalling or replacing the o-ring lubricate the o-ring with FOOD GRADE Silicone Grease. Be sure to use Food Grade, you are drinking this water after all. Something else I found helpful was to have a small bucket to catch the excess water from the filters once they are removed.
