In South Florida, we recommend cleaning cartridge and DE filters every 4–8 weeks, depending on pool usage, tree coverage, and weather. Homes in Homestead, Kendall, and Cutler Bay may need more frequent cleanings due to debris, sand, and rain.
If your pressure gauge is high, the water looks cloudy, or your jets feel weak, it’s likely time for a cleaning. You may also notice more frequent chemical imbalances or poor circulation.
Yes. We clean all major types of pool filters:
Cartridge Filters: Rinsing, degreasing, and inspecting
DE Filters: Grid cleaning and full teardown
Sand Filters: Backwashing or full sand replacement if needed
Yes, a clogged filter forces your pump to work harder, which can lead to equipment failure and higher energy bills. It also increases the risk of algae growth due to poor circulation and chemical inefficiency.
We include bi-weekly filter pressure checks and cleaning (as needed) in our weekly maintenance plans. However, for heavily used pools or systems overdue for a deep clean, we may recommend a full standalone filter cleaning.
Absolutely. After tropical storms or heavy rain, your filter can clog faster with leaves, sand, and organic debris. In places like Coral Gables and Pinecrest, where trees are dense, we often schedule additional filter cleanings during the rainy season.
