Interior Water Filter

[dedobias]

I'll bet most people lose the wrench it came with and use vaseline on the o ring which will cause it to swell and leak. Must be silicone plumbers grease and slathered on to almost fill the o ring grove in the plastic.

Has anyone else been dealing with this problem ?

I have not had an issue with mine leaking but have read the same thing. However I left mine in for many years and had a different issue with dropped water pressure when using a filter, so I stopped using filters for a long time. then I decided one day I had the energy to remove the point of failure and put in a PEX coupler after cutting out the water filter. Mine was more like 4-5 inches but you're just replacing whatever you cut out. PEX requires special tools unless you buy the alligator couplers, then they just snap on.
