Good but...
"This wrench worked for the purpose of opening my RO filter housings, but was not easy to use. It is made to latch on to a ridge on the housing so that you can pull it towards you with the handle so that the housing loosens. This is challenging because the housings are sealed tighter than a normal hand tightening because of the vacuum seal that is created because of the pressure build up, even though you've released as much pressure as possible prior. The tool can, and does slip off if the housing is super tight. But with the right angle and enough (seriously) elbow grease and tries, it gets the job done. If the tool were a bit thicker in it's width makeup (or density) it might be easier to use."

Q&A
Q:
What housing does the PFW190 wrench fit?
A:
The catalog lists: PFW190, RO 1:1 Water Conserver. Confirm the exact model or part number on your equipment before ordering PFW190 wrench. It is designed around many standard nominal 10-inch housings with an outside diameter near 5 inches; match the housing diameter and rib pattern.
Q:
What is the wrench used for?
A:
It provides leverage for loosening a housing sump during filter changes and may assist with hand-snug reassembly as directed.
Q:
Should I use the wrench to fully tighten a housing?
A:
No. Seat and hand-tighten the sump as instructed. Overtightening can damage the housing, distort the O-ring, or make future service difficult.
Q:
What should I do before loosening the housing?
A:
Shut off water, relieve pressure, open a faucet as appropriate, and support the sump before turning it.
Q:
Will this wrench correct a housing leak?
A:
No. Inspect the O-ring, groove, threads, cap, and sump for debris or damage; the wrench is only a service tool.
Q:
How do I confirm the correct wrench?
A:
Match the part number and housing style rather than relying on color. Similar-looking wrenches can have different diameters and engagement tabs.
