Cartridge filters are not able to be back washed, therefore need to be disassembled at least every six months to ensure proper filtration and to make sure your pump isn't overloaded, which can cause it to wear faster.
Cleaning a Cartridge filter is a very time consuming task, but we can take care of it for you!

Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) filters should be disassembled and cleaned every 6 months.

D.E. filters are one of the best ways to keep your pool clean and clear, but just like cartridge filters, they need maintenance in order to keep them running smoothly.

These filters should be back washed once a month in addition to the yearly tear down.

We have trained Techs that are experienced with D.E. filters and know how to spot leaks if there should be any.

As a pool owner, it is recommended that every three to five years, you’ll need to change the sand in your swimming pool filter in order to keep it working efficiently.

Over time, sand loses its roughness, which is an attribute that makes it good at the filtration process.

When the sand in your pool becomes smooth, your filtration system will be less effective, which in turn could cause cloudy water or algae to appear in your pool.

Give us a call if you are past due on changing the sand in your filter or if you are seeing cloudiness in your pool.
