Re: [OM] Waaay OT--stuck water filter housing

[Ken Norton]

I'm a fan of the strap solution (especially if mounted lower on the
filter housing instead of near the threads) as it doesn't squeeze the
threads to the binding point.

But I think the more logical solution is to add a monthly preventative
maintenance routing where you do a quick loosen and retighten. That
will prevent it from succumbing to time-based binding. Another trick
is to see if it will budge at all while still under pressure.

I don't think it's binding at the O-Ring. I think it's binding in the threads.
