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 weekly full-service plans, a monthly filter cleaning is included as standard — 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.
