Removing Jacuzzi Filter Cover

I have an above ground pool and the Jacuzzi cartridge filter has grown increasingly difficult to remove the top. The locking ring comes off easily, but the top half is very difficult.

Replacing it is just as bad. At times I have had to stand on it, to get it down. Is there some kind of lubricant that I should use (that is safe for O-rings)?



Hi. Yes, there is a lubricant that would work just fine for that. It's called Aqua Lube. It should also be used on the hair and lint pot cover on a regular basis. Most of the moving parts on above ground pool filters can be lubricated with Aqua Lube, and you will be amazed at how well things start working again.
