Keep Your Pool Filter Clean

Think of the pool filter like a filter in a vacuum, if it’s all clogged and dirty, efficiency will go down and things won’t get sucked up. But unlike a vacuum, this is a more costly fix should something not work, so keeping the pool filter clean is one of the most effective ways that your pool will operate at its best.

The most common type of pool filter is a cartridge filter and keeping it clean is relatively easy. When it’s time for a cleaning, grab the hose, gently remove the filter and start washing — but not harshly, a gentle stream will do. If you spray the filter with a high-pressure nozzle you can cause damage, ultimately having to buy yourself a new filter because the debris will either furrow itself deeper in the cartridge or you’ll tear or damage the filter.

There are cleaning solutions available for cleaning the filter, as well. Many of these solutions require the filter to soak in it for maximum benefit, so make sure to rinse off the solution after you’ve allowed it to soak.

If you still notice that the pool is not functioning at its best after you routinely clean your filter, it might be time for a new one. Depending on how old your filter is, there are better, more efficient ones on the market.


Filter Sand Changes

Due to the overwhelming workload in the spring we will not be doing pool filter sand changes during the peak pool-opening season. We highly recommend that your filters are replaced in April and prior to your pool opening date if the weather permits.

  • Above ground pool filters up to 200 LBS. –  including Ruby filter sand
  • Larger pool filters 250- 350LBS -  including Ruby filter sand
  • Pools that use Baquacil or Soft Swim should have their filter sand changed every year.
  • Pools that use any type of chlorine should have their filters changed every 3-5 years.

Pool Openings & Closings

When the spring and winter months roll around, make sure your pool is ready. Aqua Pool & Spa Pros offers pool opening and closing services to ensure your pool is ready to swim in spring and ready to hibernate in winter. These forms will be mailed out to you!
