Hi all -
I hope I'm posting this in the right location.
I have a Sundance Chelsea 780 spa. We've had a down for a few months because of an electrical issue, have had a very difficult time getting electrician to come help us.
Long story short, the electrical issue is addressed. I refilled the spa and got a PF1 error. Trying to address that, which I know is a flow issue. I believe there's an airlock.
However, in trying to address that I wanted to remove the filter. And doing so, have found that the filter is completely stuck in the spa. The plastic nut appears like it should be only finger-tight, but that sucker is completely stuck.
I tried dropping the water level to make this easier. I've used pliers. I've tried channel locks. I can't budge this.
Wondering if anybody else had suggestions for me. I thought of cutting through the filter (part of it requires replacement every 3 months, the other part is cleanable) But otherwise I really have no other ideas on how to get this thing off.
Until I can get this off, it's making troubleshooting the rest of it very difficult.
Attaching a picture If it's helpful. Thanks for any advice.
