Water Filter Wrench - What Is It Used For and What Is It Made Of?

A water filter wrench is an essential tool that allows for the safe unscrewing of the filter housing during cartridge replacement. It is a mandatory element in the water treatment process, helping to maintain filtration at the highest level. Most wrenches are made of durable plastic, ensuring lightness and resistance to corrosion. Metal wrenches are not used to prevent damage to the filter housing.

The wrench should be used in a clockwise direction to ensure proper tightening of the filter housing. Our water filter wrenches are perfect for household use, providing high-quality drinking water.

How to Unscrew a Water Filter?

To unscrew a water filter, follow the steps below.

  1. Shut off the water supply – make sure that water is not entering the filter to avoid leaks.

  2. Attach the appropriate wrench – choose a wrench that fits the size of the filter housing.

  3. Unscrew the filter – turn the wrench counterclockwise, using moderate force.

  4. Remove the cartridge – after unscrewing, carefully remove the old cartridge.

  5. Lubricate the gasket – before reassembling, lubricate the O-ring with petroleum jelly to prevent suction in the future.

Problem Unscrewing the Water Filter Housing

If you have trouble unscrewing the water filter, here’s what you can do step by step:

  1. Shut off the water – close the water supply to avoid flooding during work.

  2. Vent the system – unscrew the vent valve on the filter housing to reduce internal vacuum.

  3. Try heating the housing – use a hairdryer to gently heat the top part of the filter (warming the plastic may facilitate unscrewing).

  4. Use the wrench – turn the wrench counterclockwise.

  5. Lubricate the gasket – after opening, lubricate the O-ring with petroleum jelly to prevent suction in the future.

How to Unscrew a Water Filter Without a Wrench?

Although it is possible to unscrew a filter without a wrench, it is not the easiest task. You can try wrapping the filter housing with a cloth and then using tape or a large grip to increase traction. Remember to avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the cartridges and the filter itself.
