Filter Clean Service for Cartridge Filters
It is recommended to clean your pool’s single cartridge filter every month and is recommended to clean multiple cartridge filters every 3 months. Unlike DE and sand filters that can be backwashed, cartridge filters do not have backwash systems, so just over a short amount of time debris and chemicals build up in the filter. This is why cartridge filters need to be cleaned more regularly to ensure the filter doesn’t become clogged and less effective. We handle cartridge filter cleans on a case by case basis.

Filter Clean Service for Sand Filters
It is recommended to deep clean and replace your sand every 3-5 years. Depending if the pool stays clear it may be longer, or if the filter is running all the time it may be shorter. However overtime the sharp edges of the sand particles wear down and can no longer catch debris in the filter. We handle sand filter change outs on a case by case basis.
