    Hello





    I have an Air, Water Ice RO unit. I believe they call it the mighty mite. Anyway I just got all new filters to replace everything since my TDS reading is really bad. Question is how do I remove the old ones? I can't figure out for the life of me how they come apart. I have taken a few pictures just incase. I have tried to pull on them twist them and nothing happens. Please help. I really need to get this done today so I can flush it and get to making more RO water. TIA for any help!!!

    Do you change the whole canisters out? Or is there something internal you are changing?


    If its the whole canister it looks like you just remove the water line and replace. To do that you would remove the blue locking clip as it looks like you have done in the first picture. That allows that collar around the water line to be pushed in. While holding that collar in, pull the water line out. It might take a little bit of force, but should come out fairly easily.


    a quick youtube video I found.
