Understanding Your Pool Filter
Your pool filter is the primary defense against cloudy water and contaminants. It catches everything the chemicals can't kill — dirt, oils, hair, and microscopic particles. A clean filter means clearer water and less chemical consumption.
In the Phoenix area, dust storms and high debris load put extra stress on filters. Regular cleaning extends filter life, reduces pump strain, and keeps your water sparkling.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should pool filters be cleaned?
Cartridge filters should be deep cleaned every 3-6 months depending on use and debris load. DE filters need backwashing when pressure rises 8-10 PSI above clean baseline, and a full teardown 1-2 times per year. Sand filters should be backwashed regularly and sand replaced every 5-7 years.
How do I know if my filter needs service?
Watch your filter pressure gauge. When pressure rises 8-10 PSI above your clean baseline (the reading right after a fresh clean), it's time for service. Also look for cloudy water, slow suction, or debris returning to the pool.
What type of filter is best?
Cartridge filters are the most popular in Arizona due to low maintenance and no backwash waste. DE filters provide the finest filtration (2-5 microns) but require more maintenance. Sand filters are the simplest but filter the least fine particles.
