I put a small plastic rectangular pan under the filter to catch the water when I remove the filter. I have no trouble keeping the basement dry. Before I put the new filter on I empty the pan and put it in place while installing the cartridge cover again. That way the pan only has a few drops instead of the pint or so from removal. I also put a new coating of silicone grease on the "O" ring before putting it back together. In going on 5 years of full timing we are only on the second "O" ring.
