    I got the two going into the filter but I still can’t access it, it’s wedged on the elbow joint. Is it safe to try and separate this piece?

    Is this something I should take up with the company that closed the pool, you think? Or just stop using them and take the L?

    Probably freeze damage. The handles routinely break as they get old and brittle and the valves get hard to turn.
