It’s one of the most important and most overlooked parts of pool maintenance: the filter.
Your filter works hard to trap debris, dirt, oils, and even microscopic particles. But when it’s dirty or clogged, your water circulation suffers, chemicals don’t work as well, and your pool starts looking cloudy or even green.
So how often should you clean it?
Cartridge Filters: Every 2 – 3 months (or sooner if pressure builds up)
DE Filters: Every 3 – 4 months (or sooner if pressure builds up)
Sand Filters: Backwash every 4 – 6 weeks, with a full clean once or twice a year
Important: These are general guidelines. The actual cleaning frequency depends on pool usage, filter size, and other factors.
If you have dogs that swim in the pool, they shed a lot of hair and that can clog the filter quickly. In those cases, more frequent cleaning is often necessary.
At ACORB POOLS, we monitor filter pressure and condition during each visit. When it’s time, we perform a full cleaning not just a rinse to restore flow and water quality.
A clean filter = clean water, efficient equipment, and lower chemical use.
