    Just got my MaxCap RODI system and the instructions says I have to initialize it by removing the DI membranes first. However, to do that I need the filter wrench, which wasn't shipped with my unit. Is the setup supposed to include this and shipped accordingly? Is there aAny other way to remove the DI membranes?

    Have you posted this on their Sponsors Forum? They monitor that forum.
    Yes it should come with a filter wrench. The canisters should only be slightly more than hand tight so you should be able to unscrew them by hand if you can get a good grip. I often use a jar opener pad for a good grip and they unscrew easily.

    You are going to love the MaxCap, its an excellent system!

    I just purchased the spectra pure 90 gpd model the other day and it did include the wrench. It also included the attachment for a hose outlet (Marine Depot) had me purchase one separate saying it did not include.
