The Importance of Regular Filter Cleaning

Your pool filter is one of the most important components of your filtration system. It traps dirt, leaves, sunscreen residue, and other contaminants, keeping your pool water clear and your swimmers safe. But over time, those contaminants build up inside your cartridge filter, DE filter, or sand filter, reducing its effectiveness.

When your filter becomes clogged, it puts strain on your pool pump, restricts water flow, and can lead to cloudy water, algae growth, and costly repairs. You may even find yourself using more chemicals than necessary to try and correct poor water chemistry. That’s why regular maintenance and filter cleaning are essential parts of any smart pool care routine.

Our Professional Filter Cleaning Method

At Net Positive Pools, we follow a proven multi-step cleaning method to restore your pool filter to optimal condition:

  • We remove the filter cartridge or appropriate filter type from the tank with care
  • Our service technicians inspect for wear, damage, or clogs
  • Using a garden hose and professional-grade tools, we flush out large debris
  • We deep clean between pleats using special filter cleaner attachments
  • If needed, we soak the cartridge in a commercial filter cleaner solution, but never harsh acids
  • After a final rinse, we reinstall the clean filter and verify your system’s performance

This process is part of our weekly pool maintenance program but can also be booked as an additional service.

FAQs

You should plan on filter cleaning every 2–3 months during peak use, or more often if your pool gets heavy use or is surrounded by trees.

Most cleanings take 1–2 hours, depending on the condition and type of filter. We do it right the first time to keep your system running strong.

A basic rinse with a garden hose helps in the short term, but professional cleanings remove deep-set contaminants you can’t reach without special tools and filter cleaners.

Without regular maintenance, filters clog, pool pumps strain, water chemistry destabilizes, and your pool could suffer from poor circulation, algae growth, or even equipment failure.

Yes! We service swimming pool filters and hot tub filters alike. The cleaning method is similar but tailored to the unique residue buildup in spas.

With routine professional pool filter cleaning, most cartridges last 3–5 years. Skipping cleanings can cut that lifespan short.
