The Importance of Regular Filter Cleaning

Your pool filter plays a critical role in keeping your swimming pool water clear and healthy. It traps dirt, leaves, sunscreen residue, and other contaminants that would otherwise make your pool unsafe and unsightly. However, over time, stubborn dirt, debris, and oils build up in your filter cartridge reducing its ability to clean the water effectively.

When your filter gets clogged, it strains your pool pump, slows down water flow, and can lead to cloudy water, algae growth, and more frequent use of chemicals to balance the water chemistry. If neglected, this can lead to costly repairs. Regular filter cleaning ensures your system works efficiently and extends the lifespan of your equipment.

At Net Positive Pools, we follow a proven, multi-step cleaning process to restore your pool filter to optimal condition. Here’s how we do it:

  • Careful Removal: We remove the filter cartridge or the appropriate filter type from your filter tank with care.
