Filter Cleaning FAQ

The frequency depends on the type of filter. Cartridge filters should be cleaned every 2-6 weeks, sand filters every 4-6 weeks, and DE filters after each backwash or every few months. Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance.
Signs include reduced water flow, cloudy water, increased pressure on the filter gauge, and frequent algae growth. If you notice any of these, it’s time for a filter cleaning.
While basic cleaning can be done at home, professional cleaning ensures a thorough job, particularly for more complex filters like DE or when dealing with heavy debris or clogs.
Neglecting filter maintenance can lead to poor water quality, higher chemical usage, increased pressure on your system, and potential damage to your pool equipment.
Most filter cleaning services take 1-2 hours, depending on the filter type and condition. We ensure a thorough job without unnecessary delays.
