Description
The Lungs of Your Pool Professional DE & Cartridge Filter Cleaning
Backwashing is just a rinse we give your filter a full detail. Over time, dirt, oils, and debris pack deep into the pleats and grids where a backwash can’t reach. If your pressure gauge is climbing or your water flow feels sluggish, your filter isn’t cleaning your pool anymore. It’s just pretending to.
Pricing Based on Standard DE / Cartridge Filter Price may vary depending on filter size and condition. We’ll assess on arrival and confirm the cost before any work begins no surprises. What a Dirty Filter Does to Your Pool
Burns Out Your Pump
A clogged filter creates high back-pressure that forces your pump motor to work twice as hard accelerating wear and leading to expensive early replacement.
Hazy, Dull Water
A dirty filter can only trap large particles. Fine debris, oils, and suspended particles pass right through leaving your water looking cloudy no matter how much you shock it.
“Phantom Algae” Outbreaks
Old filter media harbors algae spores that keep reseeding your water. You shock the pool, the algae disappears then it’s back three days later. A deep-cleaned filter breaks the cycle.
Rising Pressure Readings
If your pressure gauge reads 810 PSI above your normal clean baseline, your filter is overdue. Running it higher strains every component in your system.
