This is caused by the skimmer expanding due to the hot sun. It is already a snug fit and it only has to expand by a few fractions of an inch and it sticks.
The solution - pour some cool water on it with a jug or a hose. In about 30 seconds it will shrink a fraction and will pull right off.
If you have the regular set up that includes a skimmer, pump and filter then you don't have to waste any water. Get an lid-to-hose adapter, that fits over the skimmer basket at your pool supply store. Fill the hose with water and attach it to the lid. Place the lid inside the skimmer over the skimmer basket, then vacuum to your hearts content. Pool Masters
In the passenger compartment you find the filter in the bottom of the "heater box". slide the lock of the lid aside and remove the lid. then you just pull out the old filter, put in the new and replace the lid.

Don't possibly know why you could be loosing pressure on the pool. However you may be loosing pressure in the line to the pool from the filter. If you are also loosing suction then : there is not enough water in the pool and the skimmer is sicking air. bad pump seal loose pump lid bad o-ring seal at pump lid loose fittings in and out of the pump. that is the piece of equip. that has the motor attached. The filter is the large tank. The pool is the vessel that is holding all the water. You can also lose pressure if your skimmer and your pump baskets are filled with debris, kink in the hoses, or your filter needs to be cleaned, or filter sand or cartridge needs replaced. You also may be thinking of pressure as in the force of the water coming out of the return jets. If this is the case, then your filter has become dirty and the water can't pass thru it very well. Clean your filter.

No just turn the pump of before you open the filter or else you may get a little wet and electrocuted. Humm, lets make sure what specific peices of equipment we are talking about here. The pump is the one with the motor attached and the pump may or may not have a clear 5", 6" or 7" lid. The filter is the large tank next to the pump or heater. If you try to open the filter with the pump running or not you STILL MAY HAVE AIR IN THE SYSTEM. Releasing the clamp under those conditions will land you directly in the hospital with broken ribs or worse. ALWAYS BLEED OFF THE AIR IN A FILTER BEFORE YOU RELEASE THE CLAMP OR UNDO THE NUT(S) HOLDING IT SECURE. Also releasing the air on th efilter tank may make it easier to open the pump pot lid.
