How often do I need to replace? I have had mine for 2 years, and the TDS meter is still showing the water is still very good compared to my sink water.

[@guelphming3843]

Roughly depending on your average daily water usage, I replace lower three filters from ten to 12 months, and top two double the time from 20 to 24 months. This is only reference. I bought from Amazon a packet for quite several year usage. There is description and link in my video tools and materials section. Hope it helps. Thanks for watching and appreciate if you can sub my channel.

What’s the part number of the filter wrench?

[@guelphming3843]

I got filter wrench which is included when I bought RO filtration system water express. I searched Water Express website and found they provide filter wrench SKU# PRTWR425. Link is www.expresswater.com/products/reverse-osmosis-and-under-sink-water-filter-housing-wrench-opener-tool-for-12-filter-canisters-10-filters. Hope this helps. I appreciate if you subscribe my channel.

What happens if you don’t turn the tank valve off?

[@guelphming3843]

Water will be coming out of tank because there is pressure in it. Thanks for watching and appreciate if you subscribe my channel.

[@andrewc9902]

Well, I guess I’ll have to deal with the water because I can’t reach that valve to turn it off due to the way the previous person installed it

[@AllUnbelievableShits]

Ive got all of them cept the ROM it will not open. Soo tight 😫

[@guelphming3843]

Try a bigger leverage tool, good luck

@guelphming3843 I just had to disconnect all 3 of the hoses red black and yellow remove from bracket then I was able to grip it with both hands. Twisted off with the plastic wrench and some extra elbow grease.
