So ...
I bought this RO membrane replacement for my BRS ro/di unit. My wife says I was way more excited than one should be at getting it in. However I am a reefer.
So I take apart the tubes and get the unit off but then the top cap wouldn't come off. I am by no means a small guy started questioning my man hood. I asked the wife to help and she got mad at me when I almost ripped her hand off trying to torque on the cap.
Next I seriously found my self looking to see if BRS had made a video over how to remove a cap!
NOPE.
So I did what any man would do. Feed my buddies a few beers and hand it to them as a challenge.
They all failed and soon it became more than a challenge and we had "bizarre guy on guy twisting action with grunts" according to the ladies in the crowd. I had to reassure them this thing was not glued on (please tell me it's not).
No dice. I had to stop the the challenge short of the most logical answer of trying to put it in a vice and go buy the largest pair of channel locks known to man out of fear of actually damaging the canister. I keep having to remind my friends this is just PVC. Some noted they could "get that thing apart but I wouldn't be able to use it again via explosives".
I can't help but wonder if there is some trick I am missing. Does anyone have a trick for getting these things apart or do you just buy a whole new canister and membrane in 1? Are vice's or hydraulics needed lol.
None the less THANKS BRS! You provided a unexpected night of entertainment by getting a group of guys questioning our man hood and our wife's laughing at us hysterically.
Your replies, tips and tricks are very much appreciated.
