Pool Filter Cleaning

A clean filter is essential for clear, healthy pool water. We provide thorough cleaning services for all major pool filter types: Cartridge, D.E., and Sand.

Cartridge Filter Cleaning

We carefully remove and deep-clean cartridges, removing debris and oils to restore flow and efficiency. Typically needed 2-4 times per year.

D.E. Filter Cleaning

Involves backwashing and recharging with Diatomaceous Earth, plus periodic full grid takedown and cleaning (usually annually) for optimal filtration.

Sand Filter Cleaning

Requires regular backwashing. Over time, sand can channel or become greasy; deep cleaning or sand replacement may be needed every 3-5 years.

Why Regular Filter Cleaning Matters

  • Clearer Water: Efficiently removes particles and debris.
  • Equipment Protection: Reduces strain on the pump motor.
  • Energy Efficiency: Clean filters require less pump run time.
  • Longer Filter Life: Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of filter media.
