Pool Filter Cleaning & Replacement

Why Your Pool Filter Is Essential

Your pool filter is the heart of your water circulation system. It removes dirt, debris, oils, and contaminants every single day. Without a working filter, your pool would turn cloudy and dirty in just a few days. Even with perfect chemistry, a clogged or broken filter makes it impossible to keep your water clear.

Most homeowners forget about their filter until something goes wrong. The water gets cloudy. The pump starts making strange noises. Pressure builds up and the system struggles. By then, the filter is already overdue for cleaning or replacement. Regular filter maintenance prevents these problems before they start. That is why professional pool maintenance in Adelanto always includes filter care.

How We Clean Your Pool Filter

Filter cleaning is not something you can do with a garden hose. It requires proper tools, the right cleaning solutions, and experience working with different filter types. Here is what we do:

• •Remove the filter cartridge or grids safely
• •Inspect for tears, cracks, or worn-out material
• •Pressure wash to remove trapped dirt and oils
• •Soak in filter cleaning solution to break down buildup
• •Rinse thoroughly and reinstall correctly
• •Check system pressure and circulation after cleaning

We work with cartridge filters, sand filters, and DE (diatomaceous earth) filters. Each type has different cleaning requirements. We know exactly what your filter needs to run efficiently.

When Your Filter Needs Replacement

Filters do not last forever. Cartridge filters typically need replacement every 2 to 5 years depending on usage. Sand and DE filters last longer but still need fresh media every few years. If your filter is old, torn, or damaged, cleaning will not help. You need a replacement.

We carry high-quality replacement filters for all major brands. We can replace your filter cartridge, swap out old sand, or install brand new DE grids. If your entire filter system is outdated, we can recommend and install a modern replacement that works better and costs less to maintain. And if you also need help with equipment repairs, we handle that too.

Signs Your Filter Needs Attention

How do you know when your filter needs cleaning or replacement? Watch for these warning signs. Your water stays cloudy even though the chemistry is balanced. The pressure gauge shows higher than normal readings. Water flow from the returns feels weak. You see debris floating in the pool that should have been filtered out. Your pump runs louder than usual or struggles to circulate water.

If you notice any of these issues, your filter is probably the problem. Do not wait until it stops working completely. Let us inspect it, clean it, or replace it before it causes bigger problems. Regular filter service is also part of our weekly pool maintenance plans.
