Water filter housing

I have a 2015 Georgetown 335ds and I'm having trouble unscrewing the clear plastic water filter housing to place a new filter. Does anyone have any words of wisdom. I've tried brute force to no avail.

Well, relieve the pressure for sure by opening some valves or the shower connection. Then try it but on my 335DS it broke anyway and I had it replaced on warranty.

+1 you will not get it to budge if there is any pressure in the system. Also, slide the handle as high as you can on the filter body before trying to twist it off.

We had the same issue. Needed to relieve pressure first. The problem was the directions were printed under the new filter wrapper - if we had taken that off first we would have been golden but we were trying to keep it clean until install. So anyone else out there trying it, get the instructions first. ;-)
