How do you remove a water filter connection?

Published in Water Filter Removal 1 min read

To remove tubing from a push-fit water filter connection, you need to depress the collet flush with the filter and simultaneously pull the tubing.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

  1. Depress the Collet: The reference material mentions depressing the "Khalif," but it is likely a transcription error. It should be "collet." The collet is the part of the fitting that grips the tubing. You want to push it inwards towards the filter body so that it is flush with the surface of the filter fitting.

  2. Pull the Tubing: While holding the collet in the depressed position, simultaneously pull the tubing out of the fitting. The video emphasizes the need to pull at the same time as depressing the collet.

  3. Troubleshooting:

    • If the tubing is stuck, ensure the collet is fully depressed. Sometimes debris can cause it to bind.
    • Try gently twisting the tubing while pulling.
