Caretaker 5 - union replacement

[tjuneau]

For my pool, I have a Jandy Caretaker 5 with the 2" union. Anyone have any success in cutting off the union on the top housing?

I'm trying to replace just the union. Landlord decided to use some sort of glue to stop a leak at the fitting, rendering any attempts to loosen the union futile.

TIA

Before you go cutting, please post a pic of your Jandy set up. I know they are fully serviceable, so let's see what you got/need.
