Why is Cleaning Pool Filters Important?

Using the circulation produced by a swimming pool’s pump, filters catch and remove debris, dirt, algae, and other contaminants. A functioning filter means having a pool with clean water that’s enjoyable and safe to swim in. The filter system of your pool can also affect other crucial components. For instance, many automatic pool cleaners depend on clean filtered water to work efficiently. 

When a filter is incorrectly cleaned or dirty, the pressure of your pool’s system will be adversely affected. It might even result in decreased performance with different parts connected to your plumbing. It may also lead to premature failure of other pool components and result in expensive equipment replacement or repairs.

  • Reduce your monthly electric bill

  • Prolong the longevity of your pool filters

  • Extend the life of your pump motor

  • Swim in a cleaner, healthier pool water



What Types of Filter Do Our Pool Experts Clean?

D.E. Filter Cleanings: 

  • D.E. filters make use of a substance called diatomaceous earth, and they’re the most expensive, but they’re also the most effective. These filters are capable of screening out everything except microscopic particles. 

  • D.E. is a flour-like substance, which is used to coat grids inside of the filters. This white, fine powder is made from single-celled aquatic plants and great for cleaning water. 

  • These filters can be backwashed. 

  • After cleaning, we always make sure that the right amount of D.E. is added back into the filters.


Cartridge Filters:

  • Similar to D.E. filters, but cartridge filters only rely on cartridges to clean and filter water. 

  • They’re mid-tier filters that are easy to maintain and efficient. 

  • The debris is trapped as the water moves through a cylindrical fan-folded polyester cartridge’s fabric. 

  • These filters cannot be backwashed, and therefore, considered ‘green.’ These filters need less water when they’re being cleaned. 

  • Cartridge filters can easily trap smaller particles.


Sand Filters: 

  • As the name implies, these filters make use of sand to filter water. Silica sand is used to trap the debris and particles in the pool water when the water is pumped through a tank. Only clean water is released back into the swimming pool. 

  • Sand filters do not utilize any cartridge or grids and are the most affordable 

  • These filters are known for their hassle-free maintenance requirements, and they last a long time

  • They require periodic sand replacement and backwashing

  • The assistance of filter aid is needed by sand filters to trap the smallest particles

  • While the circulation system is in operation, these filters need to be regularly deep cleaned
