Water Filter Wrench

[L98383]

I have a 2021 Dynaquest, where do I purchase a wrench to remove / install the water filter in the wet bay? Are there different sizes? I thought the coach would have come with one. Thanks.

Usually, one size wrench fits all filter housings because they are tapered.

Here's one: https://www.amazon.com/HWR-20-Water-...172867&sr=8-12

I use a strap wrench. Works great

If you're new to using this type of water filter, here's some good advice:

1. Don't buy the name brand OEM filters. You can buy generic filters with the same performance for a fraction of the cost.

2. When installing the filter and replacing the housing, put a little bit of silicone grease on the O-ring before installing. Only hand tighten the housing - do not use the wrench to tighten it.

3. Before removing the housing/filter, press the pressure relief button first, then use the wrench to loosen the housing.

4. Have a towel handy, as water will spill out. There's no way to do this and keep everything dry.

+1 for the strap wrench. That's what I use.

Depending on the year, there are no pressure relief buttons. I didnt have one on my 2015 or my 2018 Force. I just unscrew the housing, replace the cartridge and put it back on.

I agree with the silicone, I found a food grade silicone on Amazon so it doesnt taint the water.

My 2016 does not have a pressure relief button either. Make sure you open a faucet to relive pressure or you will have a hard time getting the housing off.

I have a WaterPur RCS filter and bought the filter wrench, o-rings, and extra KW1 filter. The wrench is for this specific filter and works fabulous. Here's the link.

Some of the housings which use the KW1 filter needs the pressure released from the plumbing then you need to push upward on the bottom of the canister to unlatch the notches surrounding the top. If you do a search on KW1 in the forum you can find several threads on the subject. There is one thread which goes into detail with pictures.
