    Thanks everyone! I will check the pump model tonight once I get home from work.

    I am having this same problem right now. I need to empty the basket inside and I can't get the lid off. I have a black tool that hooks onto the lid for easy removal, but it's not turning. The make and model of my equipment is Hayward DE6020. Please help!

    Thumbs up Re: Tight pump filter lid.

    Finally got the pump lid off! My basket was full as I suspected. We had to use the lid tool and then hit it with a hammer until it starting to slowly loosen up. What a hassle! Now my pool vac won't move....

    It seems counter-intuitive, but if you turn the lid as to tighten it then loosen, sometimes it works.
