Filter cleaning is one of the easiest ways to improve clarity and protect equipment. A dirty filter can cause cloudy water, low flow, and higher energy use.
Signs your filter needs cleaning
- Pressure gauge is 8–10 psi above normal
- Cloudy water even after balancing
- Weak returns / low circulation
- Visible debris returning to the pool
How often should you clean it?
It depends on usage, debris, and seasons. Many pools benefit from a schedule-based approach plus cleanings after heavy storms or intense use.
