It has a locking tab on the side as you probably know. It is hard to turn, but if you can relieve the pressure from your pump it will turn. I have a strap wrench I use to make it easier.

I use a rubber mallet. This is the only problem I have with the chlorinator. Be careful when you remove the cover that you do not inhale chlorine fumes. Hold your breath. After add ing chlorine, use the rubber mallet again to tighten the cover.

you have to turn off the pump first--start turning the lid 1/2 turn then push in tab (button) on side of lid--then turn another 1/2 turn to the next tab (button) to fully remove-----hope this helps---think of opening a medicine bottle cap

Eventually, even after relieving the pressure which is a normal procedure it will not turn by hand. The body is subject to warping.

hi , use both hands one at 2 o clock and one at 8 o clock position at the same time yank it out ! if it is installed for a long time you may need to use some kind of spray lubricant like WD-40 around the edge but it is best not to use any thing so when you installed it back it will not pop out if you drive over a pump good luck :)

It's like all the comments below, just squeeze the sides evenly and it will come off quick and easy, but it is possible you are trying to squeeze the solid part of the housing where the remote is kept which that will make it difficult to remove the cover. if you are still having a hard time then it possible it is defective.

The cover does slightly twist to come off. Try twisting it clockwise and counterclockwise several times to loosen the cover. Then pull the cover off straight up while holding the bottom half. It will take some wiggling, but it does come off.

1st and foremost! Remove all power supply to the pump. If it is grounded to the body of the pump you become the ground! You will have to remove the pump from the pit and replace the switch. You can replace it while its in the pit but it is easier to pull the pump out and have a bench to work on it and do it right. Check and make sure the rubber boot on the switch seals properly. You will need to make sure that after installing the new switch that it is water tight. If not, it will fail again. I hope this helps. If you have any problems please feel free to contact me.

As far as I can remember as its been since last October since I used mine, I just twist it and it comes off. As I have limited space, I need to remove the motor and put everything back into its original boxes for storage. Sorry I can't be more help.

It's pretty easy. Just turn the cartridge to the left to loosen it and it will come right out of the housing. Makes for replacing the cartridge without disturbing the rest of the pump easy and quick.

I hold my finger over the hole in the bottom and take the cover off. I fill it and put the cover back in, taking my finger off the hole only when I can feel the stopper plugging it.

I put the pump in and used the same locking ring, why would you need a new one? the old one works fine. Getting the ring on and turned into place is tough, I needed to wedge it down with sticks from the bed to be able to turn it. I jacked the bed up on the tank side... there is stuff on U-Tube on how to do that.Lots of luck. the pump has only 2 slide post instead of 3 but once in works fine. My failure was due to it overheating, I let the tank get almost empty (maybe a gallon fuel left) so the pump could not cool down, now I NEVER let the tank get below 1/4 always having liquid in there to cool it down.

Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your pump. We have found that the impeller which is held in by a magnet can become off balance. There is a quick fix for this problem. If you look on page 9 & 10 of your manual there are instruction on how to take apart the pump. If you no longer have your manual you can go to www.pioneerpet.com and go under instructions/products and they will show you how to take apart your pump. When you do this and remove the impeller after you put it back in give it a few spins this will help it stay in balance. You should be doing this once a month when you change your filters.

You mean the pump top? You push the pin out of hinge and it comes off for cleaning. Put the pin back to reassemble. HTH.

The best thing is to have a ball valve installed in the line that you close off first before turning off the pump. The reason for not shutting it off, is the vacuum you just pulled will suck oil back from the pump back into whatever you just pulled the vacuum on if you just turn it off without some sort of shutoff valve. BTW, some pumps have this valve built in. This one does not.

Make sure the manual valve is in the off position (up) . Then turn a quarter turn clockwise . It should lift right off . Sometimes you have to push down as you turn . Good luck.

It should be fairly easy to pry the cover off. You can use a small screwdriver or a fingernail to pop the cover in the direction that is indicated by the little arrow 90 degrees from the pocket clip. Mine pops right off and the battery will slide out.

Press down on the Release button and then pull off. It is a bit rough at 1st but you will get it. Also, it helps if you hold opposite diagonal corners to pull off the lid.

Just lift the pump out and pour it from the top. A small funnel might help.

You will have to twist the stopper. This will release/extend the stopper. Then cover bottle and pump until tight,.
