The blue container that holds the whole house water filter will not release. I have used an oil flter wrench but it will not move. Turning counter clockwise and afraid i will break something. Any advice?

If your at a campground your fellow campers have the correct wrench.
You should try useing a pipe wrench

A filter wrench near the threads will squeeze it and make it tighter. Move the wrench down or get the proper wrench.

No, he said he's using an oil filter wrench. Spray liberally with a silicone spray, wait 20 mins and try again....Dennis

Have you opened a faucet and relieved system pressure..then turn filter to the 'left' (counter clockwise) to loosen
Is it time for your medication or mine?
