Sand filter lid stuck

[arthurday]

I have some how got my sand filter lid stuck, I have cleaned the threads and screwed the lid down, and now it wont open.
Is there a trick to opening the lid

It depends on the type of top you have but what you need is a tool with a long handle for a lot if leverage. Every year I have problems with the top of my choline dispenser and the top of my sand filter. I recently made a tool for these, shown in my video on youtube (comeinhandynow channel) here:
