Filter Cleaning

At Valley Pool Solutions, we specialize in professional cartridge and diatomaceous earth (DE) filter cleaning to ensure your pool's water stays clean, clear, and healthy. Regular filter cleaning is a critical part of pool maintenance that prevents debris buildup, improves water flow, and extends the life of your filtration system.

Why Cartridge and DE Filter Cleaning Is Essential for Your Pool

Your pool's filter is the first line of defense against dirt, debris, and contaminants. Over time, these particles accumulate in the filter, reducing its efficiency and impacting your pool’s water quality. Whether you have a cartridge filter or a DE filter, regular cleaning is necessary to maintain optimal filtration and keep your pool looking its best.

Improves Water Clarity: Clean filters effectively trap tiny particles and prevent cloudy water, ensuring your pool remains clear and inviting.
Extends Filter Life: Regular maintenance prevents damage to your filters, reducing the need for costly replacements and extending the life of your equipment.
Enhances Energy Efficiency: A clean filter allows your pump to work more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering your utility costs.
Prevents Algae Growth: Well-maintained filters keep contaminants out, making it harder for algae to grow and spread in your pool.

Understanding Cartridge Filter Cleaning

Cartridge filters are known for their ability to catch smaller particles, offering superior water clarity without the need for backwashing. However, they do require periodic cleaning to ensure they function at peak efficiency.

How Often Should You Clean Cartridge Filters? We recommend cleaning your cartridge filter every 3-6 months, depending on your pool's usage and environmental factors. Regular cleaning helps prevent pressure buildup in the system and maintains optimal water flow.

Signs that your cartridge filter needs cleaning:

Reduced water flow from the pool jets
Higher-than-normal pressure readings on the filter gauge
Cloudy or dirty pool water

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Filter Cleaning

Diatomaceous earth filters are some of the most effective filters available, capable of trapping particles as small as 2-5 microns. To keep these filters working efficiently, they need to be thoroughly cleaned and recharged with fresh DE powder.

How Often Should You Clean DE Filters? DE filters should be every 4-6 months.
Backwashing helps remove trapped debris, while the annual cleaning eliminates any stubborn buildup that could impair the filter's performance.

Signs that your DE filter needs attention:

Increased pressure levels on the gauge
Shorter intervals between backwashing cycles
Algae blooms or debris in the water despite regular maintenance
