What is Filter Cleaning?
Filter cleaning is a thorough deep cleaning service that removes built-up dirt, oils, calcium deposits, and debris from your pool filter elements. Clean filters are essential for crystal-clear water, efficient circulation, and reduced energy costs. Our professional filter cleaning service restores your filter to peak performance, extending its lifespan and improving overall water quality.
When You Need Filter Cleaning
Cloudy or Dull Water
Water clarity issues despite balanced chemistry often means your filter isn't cleaning effectively
Reduced Water Flow
Weak jets, slow skimming, or poor circulation indicate restricted water flow through dirty filters
Regular Maintenance Schedule
Filters should be deep cleaned 2-4 times per year depending on pool usage and environment
After Heavy Use or Storms
Pool parties, heavy swimmer load, or major storms require filter cleaning to remove accumulated debris
Before Pool Season
Start the swimming season with clean filters for optimal water quality all season long
