Filter Cleaning & Service
Your pool filter is its kidneys, when it's clogged, everything suffers. We deep-clean and restore every filter type to peak efficiency.
Why Filter Health Matters
A dirty or worn filter is the most common cause of cloudy water, high chemical consumption, and premature pump failure. Most homeowners wait until the problem is visible, by then, the damage is done.
Our technicians inspect and clean all three major filter types, cartridge, sand, and diatomaceous earth (DE), using manufacturer-specified procedures that restore flow rates and capture efficiency without voiding warranties.
Cartridge Filters
Thorough rinse, degreaser soak, and fold-by-fold inspection. Replacement recommended when pleats show permanent creasing or tearing.
Sand Filters
Backwash cycle + multiport valve inspection. Sand media replaced every 5–7 years or when channeling is detected.
DE Filters
Full tear-down, grid cleaning, and fresh DE charge. We inspect O-rings and manifolds that are commonly missed.
Signs Your Filter Needs Attention
- Pressure gauge reads 8–10 psi above normal
- Water looks dull or hazy despite good chemistry
- Pump is running louder than usual
- It's been more than 3–4 months since the last clean
How Often Should You Clean Your Filter?
Cartridge
More often during heavy use or after storms. Annual deep soak recommended.
Sand
Full media inspection annually. Replace sand every 5–7 years.
DE (Diatomaceous Earth)
Partial backwash then recharge with DE powder after each cycle.
