Signs the filter is the problem

1

The pressure keeps climbing

The gauge reads higher every week, even after a clean.

2

The water stays cloudy

Chemistry looks right and the pool still will not clear.

3

Flow has dropped

Returns are weak and the cleaner has slowed down.

4

Something is coming back into the pool

Fine powder or grit blowing out of the returns.

5

The tank is leaking

Water at the clamp, the lid or the base of the filter.

A filter that cannot do its job makes everything else on the pool work harder.

Three kinds of filter

Tap the one you have

Not sure? Text us a photo of the tank and we will tell you.

Cartridge filters

Water passes through pleated cartridges that trap debris. The cartridges are pulled and cleaned, and replaced when they wear out.

On weekly service, filter cleans are included in the monthly price.

DE filters

DE filters use grids coated in a fine powder, diatomaceous earth, and catch the smallest particles of the three types. Grids and internal parts wear over time.

Sand filters

Water is pushed through a bed of sand and the filter is cleaned by backwashing. The sand itself needs replacing from time to time.

Replacing a filter

If a filter is cracked or worn out, we quote a replacement first and install it ourselves.

How it works

How a filter repair goes

  1. 1

    Send a photo

    A picture of the filter tank and the pressure gauge tells us a lot before we arrive.

  2. 2

    On-site diagnosis

    We open it up and find what is actually wrong. There is a service call fee for the visit.

  3. 3

    Fixed, or quoted

    A small repair with no parts is handled on the spot. A larger one comes with a quote first.

  4. 4

    Fee credited

    If you approve the work, the service call fee goes toward the repair.

Protecting the filter

What ruins pool filters

Filters are built to catch fine debris a little at a time. What damages them is a sudden heavy load, such as the dead algae and sludge from a green pool.

That is why, on a green-to-clean, we vacuum the mess out with a separate unit instead of sending it through your filtration system. It keeps manifolds from cracking and saves the cartridges.
