Cat stood on keyboard and posted reply ( Clever cat that!!!!)  We struggled for ages to remove our water filter (we leave it out over winter and fit a new one in the spring). If you play a hairdryer over the water filter housing inside the caravan, it makes the housing expand a little and the filter will come out easier. When you fit a new one, put vegetable oil or vasline around the seal.
