I have a Pentair DE cartridge/grid filter (looks like R2D2 sorta).
Anyway, the guys that closed my pool left the band in the middle loose. I didn't know that till water started spouting everywhere from the middle. OK, I tighten it, and still the same. Then I see the top isn't on right, so I reseat it, but in the process, I have to loosen the band. The spring thing comes off the bolt completely, and I cannot get it back on. There is not enough thread for it, much less the washer too. It looks like it's pretty snug. Does one need to be a Neanderthal to get this thing back on? I /really/ need to get this thing running, I already shocked the pool, and it only ran maybe an hour before it leaked.
I got this filter last summer, btw, so this is the first time I opened with it.
