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 8–10 PSI above your normal clean baseline, your filter is overdue. Running it higher strains every component in your system.

The Deep Clean Process
🔵 Cartridge Filters

Disassembly

Tank opened, all cartridge elements removed completely.

Deep Pressure Wash

Every pleat is pressure-washed to flush out impacted dirt, hair, and debris.

Degreasing Treatment

Suntan oils and lotions that clog the fabric are broken down and removed.

Inspection

Bands and end-caps checked for cracks — we'll let you know if a cartridge needs replacing.

🟡 DE Filters

Full Grid Removal

Entire internal grid assembly removed for complete access.

Sludge & DE Removal

Heavy caked-on DE powder and debris thoroughly washed from every grid.

Grid & Manifold Inspection

Every grid checked for tears. Manifold inspected for cracks — a common and overlooked cause of cloudy water.

Fresh DE Recharge

After reassembly, the correct amount of fresh DE powder is added to coat the grids perfectly.
