Hello all, we have an old Pentair Clean and Clear filter. It is difficult if not impossible to remove the lid for cleaning filter.
I have done all the usual things, drained air/water. I lubed it last time we finally got it off. I tried to gently pry with screw driver but I was afraid to damage O ring and it didn't seem to help. My husband injured his back and is unable to help get it off. I did blow the lid off 1 time in the past but I am afraid to damage lid by doing this frequently.. Any other tricks? I can buy a new lid for around $125, would that help?
Thanks in advance...
