Correct Size Filter Spanner...?

[Shine Window Cleaning]

I'm looking to get hold of a Filter Spanner (for my DI Filters on my Polarbrite trolley). How do you know correct size, and what is best place to purchase?

You do not need a spanner as should be just hand tight. /emoticons/wink.png

Try undoing the filters by hand first as they normally come undo quite easily....

okay mate, didn't seem hand tight(which is why i assumed spanner needed), but ill give it some muscle!

There is a rubber seal on them so might need to use a little bit of muscle power to get them undone,...after changing the filtters just use enough hand pressure to seal it correctly so does not leak making sure the filters are lined up first. Simples. /emoticons/biggrin.png

I've not had to use a filter spanner for years /emoticons/smile.png

How did you get on?

hmmmm....well, have tried brute force but still no joy undoing DI resin canisters! They may have been over-tightened by the chap I bought the trolley off me finks. I don't want to risk damaging the canisters though. I'm thinking maybe boiling water to help loosen the rubber seal(or am I barking up wrong trees?).

What size and make canister is it?

Might help if you post a pic too so maybe doug could help you out

not sure of size mate, but its a Polarbrite trolley with x3 DI canisters on front. Pics on my Members Album titled 'My WFP Trolley'(sorry haven't got access to my PC at moment to upload another pic but that's the trolley.

No problem, Those are 10" housings so a standard 10" housing spanner should fit. Before ordering from a supplier best to just make sure first by sending that pic to them to confirm you will get the right one (some makes are slightly different) /emoticons/wink.png

This looks the right one but send the seller the pic first http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RO-REVERSE-OSMOSIS-WATER-FILTER-HOUSING-SPANNER-/150931919728?pt=UK_HGKitchen_SmallApp_RL&hash=item23243e5370

thanks a million smurf- how do I know if I require 10/12 inch spanner etc? Do you measure circumference to determine size?

There are various size 10" vessels. I have 3 types of spanners in stock.

If you can measure the diameter may be able to help

thanks mate. Have measured circumference of canisters and they are 12inch. Also I noticed that the canisters have x4 ridges(1 running vertically down each side/opposite each other) down each side if that helps identify correct spanner, or are they universal(apart from the size obviously?).
