After cleaning my filter I noticed the bleed plug was dripping very slowly...one drop at a time. The more I turned the drain plug counter clock wise it dripped faster & actually popped out with the pressure level of the pump running. I check the threads on the drain plug & they wait good (not stripped). I've gone through this process of reinserting it twice with the same result. What am I doing incorrect?
