Pool Filter Cleaning Services in Redlands
Comprehensive maintenance for all major types of pool filtration systems.
Cartridge Filter Cleaning
We remove the cartridges, soak them in a specialized cleaning solution to break down oils, and thoroughly rinse them to restore optimal flow.
DE Filter Tear-Downs
We disassemble the filter, clean the grids, inspect the manifold for cracks, reassemble, and recharge the system with the precise amount of DE powder.
Pressure Monitoring
We log your filter's clean starting pressure so we can accurately monitor when the next cleaning is due, preventing strain on your pump.
O-Ring Lubrication
Every time we open a filter tank, we inspect and lubricate the main tank O-ring to ensure a watertight seal and prevent leaks.
Backwashing Service
We perform routine backwashing for DE and sand filters to maintain proper water flow between deep cleanings.
Internal Inspections
We meticulously inspect internal components for wear and tear, catching small tears or cracks before they allow debris back into your pool.
Brands & Materials We Work With
Filter Brands
We service all major filter brands, including Pentair Clean & Clear, Hayward Star-Clear, and Jandy CS and CV series. Our technicians are familiar with the specific disassembly and cleaning requirements of each manufacturer, ensuring your equipment is handled correctly.
Cleaning Solutions
Water alone is not always enough to clean a filter. We use specialized, non-damaging degreasers and descalers to break down stubborn body oils, sunscreen, and calcium buildup that trap dirt in the filter media. We also use high-quality DE powder for recharging DE filters to manufacturer specifications.
Getting Started Is Simple
A meticulous process to ensure your filtration system operates at peak performance.
System Shutdown
We safely turn off the pump and relieve the pressure from the filter tank before beginning any work.
Disassembly
We carefully open the filter housing, remove the cartridges or DE grids, and inspect the manifold and tank for any damage.
Deep Cleaning
We thoroughly wash the filter media, applying chemical degreasers if necessary to remove stubborn buildup and restore flow.
Reassembly & Testing
We lubricate the O-rings, reassemble the filter, restart the system, and verify the new, lower operating pressure.
Repair vs Replace: Filter Grids & Cartridges
When Cleaning is Enough
If the filter media is intact, the bands are tight, and the plastic end caps are not cracked, a deep cleaning is usually all that is needed to restore performance. We use specialized techniques to remove embedded oils and minerals that a simple hose-down cannot handle.
When Replacement is Necessary
Over time, the fabric on cartridges and DE grids breaks down. If we find tears, crushed cores, or brittle plastic components during our inspection, we will recommend replacing the damaged parts. We provide a free written quote so you can decide how to proceed without pressure.
