When should you clean your filter(s)

Here are seven signs that indicate your pool filter needs cleaning:

1. Decreased Water Flow (Clogged Filter):

   • If you notice reduced water flow in your pool, it’s likely due to a clogged filter.

2. Cloudy Water:

   • Cloudiness in your pool water suggests that the filter isn’t effectively removing particles.

3. High Pressure Gauge Reading:

   • Increased pressure on the filter gauge indicates a need for cleaning.

4. Dirty Filter Media (Accumulated Dirt and Debris):

   • If the filter media (sand, cartridge, or DE) appears dirty, it’s time for maintenance.

5. Algae Growth (Insufficient Filtration):

   • Algae growth indicates inadequate filtration, often caused by a dirty filter.

6. Short Filter Cycle:

   • Frequent backwashing or cleaning cycles suggest filter blockage.

7. Visible Debris in the Pool:

   • If you see unfiltered debris floating, it’s time to clean the filter1.

If cleaning the filter(s) doesn’t resolve any of the above issues, it could be time for new filters; this is crucial for maintaining a clean and sparkling pool.
