Pool Filter Cleaning & Replacement

Why Your Filter Matters

Your pool filter is like the lungs of your pool. It removes dirt, debris, oils, and tiny particles that make water look cloudy. When your filter works properly, your water stays clear. When it gets clogged or dirty, everything else suffers. Your pump has to work harder, your chemicals do not work as well, and your water quality drops fast.

Most pool owners do not clean their filters often enough. They remember to skim leaves and add chlorine, but forget about the filter until the water looks terrible. By then, the filter is so clogged it cannot do its job. Regular filter cleaning prevents these problems and saves you money in the long run.

Our Filter Cleaning Process

We clean all types of pool filters including cartridge, sand, and DE (diatomaceous earth) filters. Each type requires different techniques, and we know exactly what to do for yours.

• •Turn off your pump and release pressure safely
• •Remove and inspect filter cartridges or grids
• •Spray down cartridges with high-pressure water
• •Soak filters in professional cleaning solution
• •Check for tears, damage, or wear
• •Reassemble everything correctly and check for leaks
• •Recommend replacement if filters are worn out

When to Replace Your Filter

Even with regular cleaning, filters eventually wear out. Cartridge filters typically last 1 to 3 years depending on usage and how well you maintain them. Sand filters need new sand every 5 to 7 years. DE filters need new grids every few years if they tear or develop holes.

We will let you know when your filter needs replacing. Signs include water that stays cloudy no matter what you do, visible tears or damage, or if the filter never seems to get clean anymore. We carry replacement filters for most brands and can install them the same day in many cases.

Filter Cleaning Helps Your Whole System

A clean filter makes everything work better. Your pump does not have to strain, which means lower electricity bills and longer equipment life. Your chemicals work more effectively because clean water circulates properly. You will spend less time and money fighting cloudy water or algae problems.
