Pool Filter Cleaning in Lake Havasu City

Filter Care Based on Your Pool’s Condition

A clean filter helps pool equipment move water efficiently, but the right service interval depends on the pool and its operating conditions. ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Lake Havasu City provides pool filter cleaning services in Lake Havasu City, starting with an assessment of the filtration system rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Extreme heat, intense sun, wind-borne dust, monsoon debris, and hard water mineral buildup can affect filtration and equipment performance. New customers can begin with a free pool inspection that covers water chemistry, the pool filtration system, and visible equipment. Based on those findings, we recommend monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual filter cleaning.

Request your free pool inspection and a recommended filter cleaning schedule by calling (928) 377-1472.

Signs Your Pool Filter Needs Attention

A filter doesn’t always look dirty from the outside. Changes in pressure, water circulation, or equipment performance often provide the first indication that it needs cleaning or further attention.

Watch for these common filtration warning signs:

• Higher filter pressure: A filter pressure gauge reading about 8 to 10 pounds per square inch above the clean starting pressure generally signals that cleaning or backwashing is due.
• Reduced water flow: Weak flow at the pool’s return outlets can indicate restricted circulation through the filter.
• Weak features or suction: Water features that lose strength or reduced suction at pool inlets can point to a filtration issue.
• Cloudy water: Persistent cloudiness or an automatic cleaner that no longer operates correctly can indicate inadequate flow or filtration.

The clean starting pressure is specific to each system, so compare the current reading with the pressure recorded when the filter was clean. A high reading alone doesn’t identify the cause, but it signals that the system needs attention.

DE, Cartridge & Sand Pool Filters

Pool filters use different internal materials to capture particles, so their cleaning requirements aren’t interchangeable. The correct process and service interval depend on the installed system:

• DE filters
  DE filters contain internal grids coated with diatomaceous earth, a fine filtration material made from naturally occurring fossilized aquatic organisms. After the filter is cleaned, the correct amount of this material must be replenished so the grids are recoated properly.
• Cartridge filters
  Cartridge filters use removable, pleated cartridges to collect impurities from circulating water. The cartridges require periodic cleaning and may eventually need replacement, depending on their type and condition.
• Sand filters
  Sand filters pass water through filter media rather than cartridges or coated grids. They require periodic backwashing, which reverses water flow to flush accumulated material, as well as media replacement when appropriate.
