Hey /diy/
How do I change the water filter in my tap?
It's one piece with the filter up inside, and nowhere to twist it out.
Do i need a tool with a lot of ''pins'' or what am I missing?

The back.

That's an aerator, also known as a water saver. Mixes water with air to make is appear as if more water is flowing.
Normally there's two indents where you can jam something and twist, but I can't see nothing behind all that lime. I suggest you put a plastic bag filled with vinegar around it and leave it overnight, it will get rid of the lime.

Hydrogen peroxide will also clean that out

Thank you! I will try vinegar first, and try to look for the dents to screw it out.

It has teeth at the edge under the goo.
The faucet came with a plastic "wrench", usually blue or yellow, a combination of a thumbscrew and a pipe with teeth. If the person who installed didn't leave it behind under the sink or in a drawer, usually small needle nose pliers work.
Yours doesn't look like a delta faucet, but the aerator and wrench look like pic
