cant unscrew salt container
« on: October 30, 2012, 12:21:46 pm »
Hi Guys

Hav'nt used the system in a few weeks and left the water in from the last time I back washed with salt.  Possibly from the cold I cannot now unscrew as it may have expanded and is jammed. I've nearly dislocated my shoulders from trying and I'd be afraid the plastic may shatter if I put too much pressure on it. I was gonna put a heater in for a few hours to bring the temp up and try again.  Any ideas appreciated, cheers guys.  (its an Ionics pro 4 system )

Had the same problem on my old pro 5. I put a hairdryer on it, tapped around the top and with a bit of force it came undone. When you put it back on, tighten it up, but unscrew a 1/4 of a turn.
