    I’ve removed the plug many times and each time it got increasingly difficult. But this time it just absolutely refuses to come off. I tried WD. The handle came off. I tried using pliers and ripped the cover off so now the inside is exposed.

    I just want to say how terrible this design is.

    I finally got this bitch out but now I’ve missed my swim session goddamnit. I guess now I have to make a lid for the exposed part. What do you guys think is safe?

    Buy a replacement, that's what I think is safe. You may not be able to remove it next time! (This is what seems to be the progression).

    REVVL V+ 5G ?

    I reattached the handle, glued a piece of cardboard over it and with the WD properly lubricated it does come out properly. I think I’ll leave it at that D:
