Pool Filter Cleaning & Replacement

Why Your Pool Filter Matters

Your pool filter is the hardest-working piece of equipment you own. It runs for hours every day, trapping dirt, debris, oils, and microscopic particles to keep your water clean and safe. Without a properly functioning filter, your pool would turn cloudy and unsafe in just a few days.

Most pool owners do not realize their filter needs regular cleaning and eventual replacement. Over time, filters get clogged with debris, reducing water flow and making your pump work harder. This leads to cloudy water, higher energy bills, and expensive equipment damage.

Regular filter maintenance is one of the best investments you can make for your pool. Clean filters mean clear water, lower chemical costs, and equipment that lasts longer. If you want ongoing care, check out our weekly pool maintenance services.

Types of Pool Filters We Service

We work with all three types of pool filters. Each has different maintenance needs, but all require regular attention to perform their best:

• ✓Sand Filters: The most common type in Wellington. Sand filters need backwashing every 1-2 weeks and complete sand replacement every 3-5 years.
• ✓Cartridge Filters: These use replaceable cartridges that need cleaning every 2-4 weeks and replacement every 1-2 years depending on usage.
• ✓DE (Diatomaceous Earth) Filters: The most effective but also the most maintenance-intensive. DE filters need backwashing and new DE powder added regularly, plus grid replacement every few years.

No matter which type you have, we can clean it, repair it, or replace it. We carry all major brands and can source parts quickly.

What We Offer

Our filter services cover everything from routine cleaning to complete system replacement. Here is what we can do for you:

Filter Cleaning

We clean cartridge filters by removing them, rinsing with high-pressure water, and treating with specialized filter cleaner to remove oils and buildup. Sand filters get a thorough backwash and inspection. DE filters are backwashed and recharged with fresh DE powder.

Filter Replacement

When your filter media is worn out or damaged beyond cleaning, we can replace it. This includes new sand for sand filters, new cartridges for cartridge filters, or new grids for DE filters. We also install brand-new filter systems if your current one is outdated or undersized.

Filter Inspection

Not sure if your filter needs attention? We can inspect your system, check water flow and pressure, and let you know exactly what is needed. Many filter problems are caught early with regular inspections.

If you are dealing with cloudy water or circulation issues, you might also need pool equipment repair services to address pump or plumbing problems.

Filter Maintenance in Wellington

Wellington's environment puts extra demand on pool filters. We have high pollen counts in spring, dust from construction, and frequent storms that dump debris into pools. Your filter works overtime to handle all of this.

We recommend more frequent filter cleaning during peak pollen season and after major storms. If your pool is surrounded by trees or gets heavy use, you might need cleaning every 2-3 weeks instead of monthly.

Our team has serviced filters all over Wellington, Lake Worth, Greenacres, and surrounding areas. We understand local conditions and can recommend the right maintenance schedule for your situation.
