Pool Filter Cleaning & Replacement
Keep your pool water crystal clear with professional filter maintenance
Why Your Filter Matters More Than You Think
Your pool filter is like the lungs of your pool. It breathes life into your water by removing dirt, debris, and tiny particles you cannot even see. When your filter works properly, your water stays clear and safe. When it gets clogged or dirty, everything else falls apart. Your chemicals do not work as well. Your water gets cloudy. And your pool becomes a breeding ground for algae.
Most homeowners in Kingman, AZ do not think about their filter until something goes wrong. But regular filter maintenance is one of the most important things you can do for your pool. Clean filters save you money on chemicals, reduce wear on your equipment, and keep your water looking great year-round.
Three Types of Pool Filters We Service
Sand filters, cartridge filters, and DE filters all need different care. Sand filters need backwashing and occasional sand replacement. Cartridge filters need thorough cleaning and eventual cartridge replacement. DE filters need careful cleaning and fresh DE powder. We work with all three types and know exactly what each one needs to perform at its best.
Many pool owners try to clean their own filters but do not get them truly clean. A quick rinse with a garden hose is not enough. Professional filter cleaning removes oils, minerals, and buildup that simple rinsing cannot touch. We use specialized cleaning solutions and high-pressure equipment to restore your filter to like-new condition.

When to Clean or Replace Your Filter
Cartridge filters should be cleaned every 4 to 6 months and replaced every 1 to 2 years. Sand filters need backwashing weekly during heavy use, and the sand should be replaced every 5 to 7 years. DE filters need cleaning 2 to 4 times per year depending on use. If you notice weak water flow, cloudy water, or high pressure readings, your filter needs attention now.
We include filter checks in our weekly pool cleaning service, but sometimes filters need deep cleaning between regular visits. If you are dealing with persistent cloudy water despite balanced chemicals, your filter is probably the culprit. We can diagnose the problem and fix it quickly.
Dirty filters can contribute to algae problems because they cannot remove algae spores effectively. If you are fighting recurring green water issues, check out our green pool treatment service, and we will make sure your filter is up to the task of keeping your water clear afterward.
