Help in replacing water filtration canister?

Question

One of the canister's for my undersink water filtration system cracked open. When I replace the canister, will the pressure adjust itself or is there something specific I should do. When this happened, my water softener began to cycle constantly. Is there a connection or do you think my water softener has a separate issue?

Answer 1

For safety purposes turn everything off and unplug. There usually is a draincock valve that you can open to release the water from the canister. Once you are done then replace canister. Then just reverse the process minus the draincock stuff.
