Filter Cleaning & Basket Service

A surprising number of 'water problems' are actually filter problems. A clogged cartridge slows circulation, chlorine can't reach the whole pool, pressure climbs, and your pump strains — then the water goes cloudy and everyone blames the chemicals.

We deep-clean cartridge filters the right way (full disassembly, rinse between every pleat, degreaser soak when needed) and service DE filters with fresh media. On recurring plans, filter cleaning is built into the schedule so it never gets forgotten.

What's included

• Filter disassembled and cartridges removed
• Every pleat rinsed clean — not just a quick hose-down
• Degreaser/acid soak for oil and scale when needed
• Cartridge condition assessed honestly (replace only when truly worn)
• DE filters: grids cleaned and recharged with fresh DE
• O-rings inspected and lubricated
• Pressure readings logged before and after

Who it's for

• Owners with cloudy water despite 'perfect' chemistry
• Anyone whose filter pressure keeps creeping up
• DIY cleaners who want the messy jobs done professionally
• Weekly-service customers (it's included on schedule)

How it works

1. 1

   Pressure & flow check

   We read your filter pressure against its clean baseline and check returns for weak flow — the telltale signs it's time.

2. 2

   The deep clean

   Full teardown, pleat-by-pleat rinse, and a soak when oils or scale call for it. A proper cartridge cleaning takes real time — that's why quick-visit companies skip it.

3. 3

   Reassemble & verify

   O-rings lubed, housing sealed, pressure verified back near baseline. You get before/after photos and the new baseline number.
