Hi, I purchased a home that came with an above ground pool. My boyfriend and I are new to pools. We set up the pump and filter but for some reason, we cannot get the lid on the filter to fully close and lock into place. Since we can’t close the lid all the way, if you open a valve even if the pump is turned off, water comes out from the top. We have tried looking everywhere on google and YouTube but we haven’t been able to fix it. The filter fits inside properly so that’s not the issue we don’t think. There doesn’t seem to be any debris inside. Below is a picture of the lid and this is how much we can close it before it gets stuck and won’t turn.

Does anyone have tips or a solution? Thank you in advance!! FA7C5E6C-A842-4D61-B9C5-D82FC52EDA66.jpeg
