Is there a trick to unscrewing the 2 halves to replace the filter (mine seems to be stuck solid!)?

I've tried everything to get mine to open. Like yours, it seems to "stuck solid." My solution is to buy some other model of shower filter.

I had the same problem, the solution was having my husband do it! Though he had to try a few times as well, good luck!

If my filter is extremely hard to take apart, I use a rubber mallet and tap the housing that screws on in a counter clockwise direction and it starts to unscrew. When repacing the filter use silicone grease to lubricate the O-rings.

dry it off and manhandle it. never had a problem here. only hard part is getting the leaking to stop with new filter. must clean o rings and make sure filter is spotless or it will leak.

I don't think there is a trick but if you used it for awhile then tried to unscrew it could be calcified shut. May need some tools.

my housing is different than the picture, it's split right in the middle instead of towards the top, but there's no trick to opening it, sometimes it's just harder than others, be sure and put some vaseline on the rubber washer when you reassemble

I don't have "tricks" up my sleeve, but if I was struggling with this problem, I think I would try a large wrench.... the kind that is used to remove an oil filter from an automobile. It has a rubber strap that wraps around tightly so you can twist it off. Hope this helps.

I was able to remedy the problem by flipping the gasket over. The rounded side should go toward the filter. Unfortunately Culligan customer service hasn't been able to figure this one out and has been telling their customers to remove this very necessary gasket altogether. Unfortunately I was not able to remedy the situation where the filter compartment leaks after trying to change the filter just one time. I'm glad I tested removal and replacement of the filter right away to make sure I would have room to do so after installation rather than to wait 3 months to find out that once you open it, it will likely leak after.

Have you rechecked the "in" & "out" ports, or is there a packing plug? I'd remove the filter again, and blow thru the ports to see if that is where the ressistance is- ie: the filter or the Moeller top assembly. Let me know, Jim

you might want to unscrew the filter unit from the tap where you have more leverage to remove the filter

Excellent question. Stumped me too. The lid doesn't unscrew or otherwise come apart. Try holding the lid perfectly upside down, so the filter faces the ceiling. Push your index finger down firmly into the filter. There's space in the middle of the lid underneath the filter, so your finger pressure will cause the filter to collapse in the center and fold up along the edges. Then hook the edge with another finger and pull it out.

Take off the rear cover and filter. There are 4 or 6 phillips screws way down in the open holes. You cannot see the screws, because they are way down in the holes. When you totally loosen the screws with a phillips screwdriver, the front panel will come off. Hope this helps.

I ran into the same problem when i bought replacement filters (in the past) from somebody besides clear2o. You can really hurt your hand if you build up enough pressure before trying to remove. The supplier did make good on a replacement since i wasn't the first one that this has happened to. I have since paid a little extra to buy from CLEAR, and have not received a faulty one yet. I hope that this helps. Thanks

Assuming it's the same model, it's kind of tricky to visualize which way to turn the filter to remove it. It should have come with a weird, hoop wrench which you slide up the filter casing and then rotate to the left (lefty loosy). You can only really get enough torque if it's mounted in its bracket. Be sure to turn off the intake valve or the water main first and open up the filter spigot, in case this additional pressure seals the filter casing tighter. Hope the helps!

First press filter button on duster - when it opens take out filter. Turn gray part clockwise until it separates. Clean out, replace or clean filter. Replace turning counter-clockwise and snap all together again. done

The upper portion unscrews , had difficulties myself seam is directly above the water faucet, it takes both hand to twist ,also make sure filter is installed correctly I goofed that up too! Arrows point to the right way.

The top lid pops off from the bottom part holding the filter -- ours was so loose it kept falling out -- so we had to bend it out a little to hold in the filter. Just use a screwdriver or something -- should come right out. Hope this helps.

First I thought I need a wrench removing the filter,its been 4months and when I tried to unscrew and remove the filter case I thought its tightly screwed but I just unscrewed with my hands without any aid of a wrench and successfully replaced the filter. be sure both of your hands and filter case are dry. Placing a rubber bands in the filter will help you avoid slips when unscrewing the filter case with your hands. hopes this help

Although, I haven't had to change the filter yet, I have had the original filter out several times. it may be a little tight but I just pull it out.

Turn old filter counter clockwise and it will release pressure as you pull it down from the mount. Align the blades on top of the new filter with the openings of the mount you just took the old filter off of. Push gently up and turn clockwise and it will secure. NOTE: After taking out old filter there is a gray mounting tap that you can pull down to take the old battery out and put the new battery in. Do this after taking the old filter off and prior to putting the new filter in.

There are two filters. One square and the other round. To remove simply grab close to the outside edge and begin to pull it out all the way around. To insert new ones simply begin stuffing it in and work your way around the lid. Use a finger to straighten out any part that did not go flat.

It just screws on. Are you sure you have the filter seated properly in the unit? If the filter isn't seated properly you might have trouble getting the cover back on.

You hold the rod above the filter securely, then turn filter counter clockwise. ( viewing it from bottom) it should thread out.
