Older vids & blogs are out there that show the RFID chip on the factory bypass plug or old filters as being held in place with a simple-to-peel sticker. However, it looks like they got wise, the one I got was superglued down. Removing it unscathed took a fair bit of judicious saw and Xacto knifework.
The non-RFID filters I ordered even have a little “How-to” pamphlet included on RFID hax0ring 101. :slightly_smiling_face:
Surface and well water in the USA has gone to shit and don’t look for it to get better anytime this century.
