osie Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hi AllHow do I get the cover off the sand filter, if it is stuck.In stuck I mean it turns freely to open position... there is a lot of give... but it wont lift off...The filter has been winterised.. and so has no water and the tap at the bottom is open.Im guessiing the turning of the lock on the top of the cover somehow allows air to pass between the cover and the body and although the lock turns easily, it does not create the gap needed.I have had this happen before and the last time I had to call a guy out, so I am hoping I can resolve it myself.CheersOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osie Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Okay.. so solved with an iron bar and a bit of force.Put some wd40 on the screw part and put it back on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Glad you sorted it Ossie, I remember writing a reply but the forum software was glitchy and lost my reply, I then forgot to rewrite it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
