R/O Unit trouble

[Hurley12]

I have an R/O Unit that I am changing the membranes on for the first time, but I am having trouble getting the cylinders off to change them. Any idea why I am having so much trouble?

Are you changing the RO membrane or the DI and particulate canisters? The canisters are tight, and you really need one of those plastic wrenches to do the job correctly. Even so, it takes a bit of torque to remove them.

yeah the wrenches for changeing oil work wiht the plastic strap

Those wrenches really fit the canisters well. I'm sure it would make all the difference.

I am replacing membranes carbon the whole thing, its overdue. Looks I need to get one of those wrenches then, or hit the gym one, haha.
