How to Remove Big Blue Water Filter: Follow these easy steps and replace it today!

Alright, let’s talk about how I tackled taking out that big blue water filter. First off, I noticed the water pressure was getting kinda weak, and the water started tasting a bit off. Figured it was time to deal with the filter.

So, first things first, I turned off the water supply to the whole house. You don’t want a surprise shower, trust me. I located the main shut-off valve – usually it’s where the water line enters the house – and cranked that thing to the right until it wouldn’t budge.

Next, I grabbed a bucket and placed it under the filter housing. This was to catch any water that was still in the system. Then, I found the pressure release button on top of the filter housing and pushed it. Some water spurted out, no big deal.

Now came the tricky part – actually unscrewing the darn filter housing. The thing was on there tight! I used a filter wrench, which is this specialized tool that gives you some extra leverage. Wrapped that around the housing, and with a good amount of elbow grease, I slowly twisted it counterclockwise. It took some effort, but finally, it started to loosen.

  • Turn off water supply: Find the main shut-off valve and close it.
  • Grab a bucket: Place a bucket under the filter housing to catch excess water.
  • Release pressure: Push the pressure release button on the filter housing.
  • Unscrew the filter housing: Use a filter wrench to loosen and remove the housing.
  • Remove the old filter: Pull the old filter out of the housing.

Once the housing was off, I pulled out the old, gunky filter. Man, it was gross! No wonder the water tasted funny. I took a note of the filter type so I could get the right replacement later.

Cleaning Time

Before putting in a new filter, I gave the housing a good rinse with some warm, soapy water. Just wanted to make sure there wasn’t any leftover gunk in there. Rinsed it thoroughly and made sure it was completely dry.

After that, it was just a matter of putting in the new filter, screwing the housing back on, and turning the water supply back on. I checked for leaks, and thankfully, there were none. Water pressure was back to normal, and the water tasted fresh again. Job done!

I did some quick research about how to maintain water * said “Regular partial water changes are fundamental to maintaining water quality and clarity. Aim to replace 25% of the aquarium water every 1-2 weeks. Use a siphon to remove.”It’s a good idea!

Someone give me a phone * he said:”(718) 677 – 3100. get help. water damage mitigation.” I think I will need it later.

I read an article about “How to Solve Water Pollution? Water, the lifeblood of our planet, is facing an unprecedented crisis. Water pollution.” That’s a big problem!

Oh!I found an interesting report,”I’m Eileen Wray-McCann for Circle of Blue, and this is “What’s Up With Water,” your need-to-know news of the world’s water.” I will read it.

Finally I read a news,”In recent years the fog has cleared and the more certain path appears to actually lead to universal access to clean water.”That’s a good news!
