WOW - Easy way to remove water filter

[jdubs]

Unscrew the short hose at the pump, screw short hose into coupler, screw short hose and coupler onto inlet hose, attach short hose back to pump. Easy, quick and will cost you .70 cents for the coupler and a little bit of Teflon tape.

Don't know how you accomplished it without twisting a hose then unless you disconnected a pipe.

Read above, I have a 2013 233S, maybe my filter system is different than others.

So you saved $1.74 less the price of the clamp.

Cheap and Easy, that's the way I like it. :-)

IF, I ever remove my filter, which I doubt I ever do, I will use the plumbers way and use a union.

[howie70]

I cut the pex fittings off (they leaked after unscrewing from the filter) and used a sharkbite coupling.

Is this the union to use?

Mueller Global 1/2 in. PVC FPT x FPT Union-164-133HC - The Home Depot

I did go with the union and a nipple to get the same spacing as the water filter no leaks now !!! Thanks . funny thing is we have had some very bad storms this week no water in the camper from them instead floods from inside !!!

I understand you unhooked the one hose from the pump, but how did you get the other hose unscrewed from the filter without turning the pex fittings?

The brass barb will turn inside the pex tubing I just held the tubing with my hand . no problems or leaks after.

You were lucky.

Unhook hose from pump, hold wrench on inlet side of filter housing, turn filter housing till it comes loose from inlet hose, remove pump side hose from filter housing. Install threaded coupling on inlet hose, install pump hose onto threaded coupling, attach hose back on pump.

I have a Water Pur CCI-10-CLW filter housing. The pipe from my pump to the filter housing is 1/2" pex with at least 3 - 90 deg. horizontal and vertical bends in between. I think the filter housing is connected to the pex on either side using threaded white plastic connectors clamped to pex pipe.

The way that mine is plumbed, unless those white plastic threaded connectors rotate, I think I'm going to have buy a pex pipe cutter, some new pex pipe and sharkbite fittings in order to remove the filter housing and fill in the gap.

If you're going to scrap the filter, just remove the canister and cut the base in two with a hacksaw/cutoff wheel and unscrew the fittings and get a 1/2" UNION and connect them back together. You might need a short nipple if the pipes are too far apart and can't be moved.

I don't want to get rid of the filter housing. It's just in a very awkward place to try to unscrew the canister. I want to either relocate it to a place that's easier to get at, or make a portable mount for it outside.

I bought this unit barely used and there is no cartridge in the filter housing.
Surprise dealer no help. I need the filter make & model# and the cartridge# and where to purchase info.

Thanks in advance

any stock water cartridge filter available at box stores or local hardware store should work... they are pretty standard size, only different filtering specs as the prices goes up...

take the empty holder with you to confirm this when you go to purcahse

my 2007 Roo has a stock filter but i thought the newer ones don't have a stock cartridge anymore.

My 2014 Shamrock 183 was a stock size... I just took it out and went to an external filter from Walmart... much easier to maintain and no possible hidden water damage from a faulty filter install
