Most swimming pools need pool filter cleaning every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you swim and how much debris gets inside. If the pressure gauge shows higher pressure than the normal range, it’s time for a cleaning.
To clean a pool with a cartridge pool filter, remove the filter cartridge from the filter housing and rinse it with a steady stream of water using a garden hose. For a deeper clean, soak it in a cleaning solution made with trisodium phosphate (TSP) or a TSP substitute, then rinse again until all residue is gone.
You can use mild dishwashing detergent or dishwasher detergent as part of the cleaning process, but avoid harsh or toxic chemicals. Never mix bleach or muriatic acid with other cleaners. Always rinse with the hose until the dirty water runs clear.
If your pool filter cartridge looks worn, torn, or doesn’t rinse clean anymore, it’s time to replace it. Most cartridge filters last about one to two years, depending on water volume, chlorine levels, and how well you maintain them.
A rising filter pressure on your pressure gauge usually means your filter is clogged with dirt, calcium carbonate, or debris inside. Regular filter cleaning and checking your skimmer baskets help keep the system working in its normal range.
Yes, but be very careful. Soak the cartridge in a diluted muriatic acid or hydrochloric acid mix (usually one cup of acid per bucket of water). Always add acid to water, never the other way around. This method removes calcium buildup but should only be used after rinsing away chlorine and other chemicals first.
Turn off the pump, open the air relief valve, and let the water drain slowly from the filter tank. Once drained, use a hose to rinse away any dirt or debris. Make sure the o-ring and filter housing are clean before closing everything back up to avoid leaks or air getting trapped.
Yes, professional pool filter cleaning ensures that your filter, filter housing, and filter tank are cleaned safely and thoroughly without harming the environment. We use non-toxic cleaners like Simple Green instead of harsh acids, minimizing water waste while keeping your swimming pool healthy, clear, and free of buildup.
