Sta-Rite Duraglass pump lid stuck tight!

Unfortunately I won't be able to check the impeller so will have to call for help.

Yeah, that's pretty advanced DIY stuff. The O-ring on that dumb pump is one of the hardest to get back in place, of any pump O-rings I've ever dealt with! It would make a funny blackmail movie, if someone had secretly video-ed me, one afternoon spent down in a hole of a pump room at an aging Boys' Club pool, trying to put one of those blasted pumps back together!

I'm glad that video does not exist! I pretty much exhausted my repertoire of unprintable language that day!

that reply just made me laugh out loud.
I watched a you tube video of someone changing the impeller on the same type of pump and I was exhausted after I had watched it - I am ok with simple daily stuff but not very good at DIY. Especially when it involves electric stuff!

one impeller cleaned and pool running perfectly - best $40.00 spent! Thanks PoolDoc :-)

Great! And obviously, you got someone more skilled at getting those things back together than I was, which is also great. (In my defense, I was practically having to stand on my head in that cramped Boys' Club pump room! )
