Why Pool Filter Cleaning Matters

Your pool’s filter does a big job: it captures debris, removes contaminants, and keeps water circulating through your system properly. Over time, the filter media becomes clogged and less effective — leading to poor water quality, increased strain on pumps and other equipment, and potentially higher energy costs.

• Left unchecked, a dirty filter can lead to problems such as:
• Poor water clarity and increased risk of algae growth
• Reduced suction and water flow
• Higher gauge pressure on the filter system
• Premature wear or damage to your pump, cleaner or plumbing

At ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of St. Petersburg, our pool professionals understand these risks and deliver thorough filter cleaning services designed to restore and maintain optimal filtration performance.

How We Clean Your Pool Filter

Types of Filters We Service

We have experience with all major pool filter types:

• DE (Diatomaceous Earth) Filters — These use a powdered DE coating on internal grids to trap fine particles. Cleaning them properly means removing old DE powder, cleaning the grids, and recharging with fresh DE.
• Cartridge Filters — Featuring a pleated polyester cartridge, these filters trap debris internally. The cartridges may be reusable (with cleaning) or disposable. We inspect and clean or replace cartridges as needed.
• Sand Filters — These rely on sand as the filtering media and require periodic backwashing. We thoroughly backwash and inspect the sand, replacing it when necessary.

Our Cleaning Process

• Inspect gauge pressure and backwash or clean as needed.
• Remove filter media (cartridge, grids, sand) and clean using high-capacity rinse equipment.
• Replace DE or media when required and ensure correct reassembly.
• Verify proper water flow, gauge pressure reset, and inspect the pump and plumbing for any additional issues.
• Provide you with a report on filter health and any recommendations for maintenance or replacements.

This comprehensive service not only cleans the filter — it helps preserve your pool equipment’s lifespan and keeps your pool water in the best possible condition.

Signs Your Pool Filter Needs Cleaning

• Knowing when to schedule a cleaning can save you time and money. Watch out for these warning signs:
• Gauge pressure reading about 8-10 psi higher than the normal clean baseline
• Reduced suction at inlets or weaker flow at pool returns
• Your automatic pool cleaner is performing poorly or getting stuck
• Water features like jets or laminar flows are underperforming
• It’s been more than a month (or more frequently in heavy-use seasons) since your last filter maintained

If you spot any of these signs, give ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of St. Petersburg a call. We’ll evaluate your system and get it back to full performance.

Benefits of Regular Filter Cleaning

Longer Equipment Life

When your filter is kept clean, your pump and plumbing don’t have to work as hard. That means fewer breakdowns and longer lasting equipment.

Better Water Quality

Clean filters remove contaminants more effectively — resulting in clearer, healthier water that’s safer for swimmers.

Energy Efficiency

Reduced strain on the system means lower energy usage. A clean filter can help reduce your electric bills over time.
