Pool store chlorine?

[DareDog]

How do you open the top of the jug that pool stores sell? 2.5 gallon and 5 gallon pails. 2nd time getting chlorine at the pool store and having hard time opening it. first time had to pry the cap off. there has to be a easier way.

dd,

A picture might help us understand the problem...

My pool store chlorine jugs have screw on lids just like bleach bottoms do.

Thanks,

Jim R.

You might need a strap wrench. I have one these 5 gal. containers and it is a twist top.

I use one of these, Rieke W0397.

Does anyone use, or even know of, a hand pump that will fit these? As I age, those 2.5 gallon jugs may get hard to handle.

I looked at the links above, and the spigot made me wonder about the possibly of pumping my daily dose.

Wow, just goes to show you. The PS charged me $25 for the same wrench. Ugh. My fault.
