If pressure remains in the housing, it is almost impossible to open the
filter housing cap. Pull out used filter cartridge and replaced it by a new
one. Make sure O-ring is in place and in useable condition. Fit spring on
top of filter. Screw cap on hand tight. Check filter housing for air leaks
during the next filling process.
