ASM Skimmer ISSUE!!!

[Snelly40]

hey guys,
well its driving me nuts, the LID to my skimmer has been getting harder and harder to remove for cleaning. It is to the point now where i need to alsmot chisel it off.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I clean it at least once a week so there is never much build-up,
what do you guys do?

please help, im getting so frustrated with it!!:flaming:

Hmmm....mine always came off easily.
Here's a bump for you.
Since you clean it, I'm not sure why it would be getting hard to get off.
Maybe if you contact the company they could send you a new one?

I put a little silicone grease on the neck and a few dabs on the lid. Did this once like three months ago and it has been smooth sailing.

These lids have a twist locking feature to them. I experienced the same thing with my lid. Now, instead of twisting the lid to secure it to the cup, I just lay it on top of the cup w/o twisting.

Same problem and this is exactly what I do. Never had a problem with the foam or anything coming out.

You would benefit from drilling a 1/2" hole in the bottom of the cup and attaching a tube to a remote collection cup, say a one gallon pail or something.

Same thing here. I don't "twist" it on.

i dont twist the lid or even the cup to the body for that matter, seems to work well. i let friction and them cool orange o-rings do the work.

 

[Snelly40]

sweet, loving it!
frankie, i have been thinking about doing that too but i dont have space at the moment

 

[lcstorc]

Guess I am strange.
I've never had a problem with either of mine.

 

[Frankie]

No Lynn, you just take care of your on a regular basis where others slack off from time to time.

 

[Snelly40]

whoa whoa whoa, i take mine off twice a week! the cup just sucks

 

[Frankie]

LOL! I bet Lynn cleans hers daily

 

[Snelly40]

haha, in that case i guess its ok
