What does your pool filter cleaning service include?

Our pool filter cleaning service includes a full breakdown of the filter, inspection of internal parts, and a deep cleaning of the grids, cartridges, or sand system as needed. We reassemble everything, check for leaks, and confirm proper pressure. Service starts at $285 plus tax, depending on filter type and condition.

How do I know if my pool filter needs to be cleaned?

If you notice weak water flow, higher-than-normal filter pressure, cloudy water, or the pool getting dirty quickly after vacuuming, your filter is likely overdue for a cleaning. Visible dirt or debris returning through the returns is another red flag. A professional filter cleaning starting at $285 plus tax gets the system back to working properly.

How often should a pool filter be professionally cleaned?

Most pools benefit from a professional filter cleaning at least once per season, and some heavy-use or heavily landscaped yards may need it more often. Cartridge and DE filters especially need regular internal cleanings to maintain performance. Our filter cleaning service starts at $285 plus tax for a full breakdown and wash.

What types of pool filters do you clean?

We clean cartridge, DE (diatomaceous earth), and sand filters for both inground and above-ground pools. Each type has its own process for disassembly, cleaning, and recharging or backwashing. Pricing for a professional clean starts at $285 plus tax, based on filter style and size.

Will filter cleaning help with cloudy or dirty pool water?

Yes — a dirty filter can’t trap debris the way it should, which leads to cloudy water and more frequent algae issues. Once the filter is properly cleaned and the system is flowing correctly, your other cleaning and chemical efforts are much more effective. Our deep filter cleaning service starts at $285 plus tax.

Do you check for damaged parts during filter cleaning?

During the cleaning, we inspect grids, cartridges, laterals, o-rings, and manifolds for cracks, tears, and wear. If we find anything damaged, we’ll recommend replacement and go over the cost before doing any extra work. The base cleaning service starts at $285 plus tax, with replacement parts priced separately.
