I currently have a very old pump with a lid that is extremely difficult to remove. My current SOP is to stick a 2' length of rebar through the basket lid and then use that leverage on both sides to work it loose. I only tighten it by hand, so I am not sure why it is always so tight. I have been searching for a new pump and am looking for one that does not have this problem. Merely looking at pictures, the Hayward Super Pump looks like a good solution. It seems to have two knobs that screw down to hold the lid in place to make a good seal instead of screwing down the actual lid and seal? Is there any other pump that comes to mind that has a not-so-hard to remove lid? I am looking at single speed pumps... I have a unique setup with my chlorinator and I don't want to make big changes to the way my setup runs without good reason. But I will be open to a VS pump if necessary as it shouldn't be too difficult to change my setup.
