Pool Filter Cleaning & Replacement
Keep your pool water crystal clear with professional filter maintenance and replacement.
Your pool filter is the hardest working piece of equipment you have. It runs for hours every day removing dirt, debris, oils, and contaminants from your water. When your filter gets clogged or worn out, your entire pool suffers. Our professional filter cleaning and replacement services in Perris keep your water sparkling and your equipment running smoothly.
Why Filter Maintenance Matters
A dirty filter cannot do its job. When filters get clogged with debris, several problems happen. Your water gets cloudy or dirty because the filter is not catching contaminants. Your pump has to work harder which increases your electric bill and shortens pump life. You might also notice weak water flow or your pump shutting off from strain.
Regular filter cleaning prevents all these issues. Clean filters keep your water clear, save energy, and extend the life of your equipment. Most filters need cleaning every 4 to 6 weeks depending on use, but Perris pools often need it more often due to wind-blown dust and debris.
Filter Types We Service
We clean and replace all three main types of pool filters. Each type has different maintenance needs:
Cartridge Filters
These use pleated paper cartridges to trap debris. We remove the cartridge, hose it down, and soak it in cleaning solution. Cartridges typically last 1 to 3 years before needing replacement.
Sand Filters
Sand filters use a bed of special sand to filter water. We backwash them to clean out trapped debris. The sand itself needs replacement every 5 to 7 years.
DE (Diatomaceous Earth) Filters
DE filters provide the finest filtration. We backwash them and add fresh DE powder. The filter grids inside need periodic deep cleaning and eventual replacement.
