Why Filter Cleans Are One of the Most Important Parts of Pool Maintenance
And How to Get One FREE This August
If you own a pool in Scottsdale, you know how quickly dust, debris, and sunscreen build up, especially during the summer. But what you might not realize is that your pool filter is doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes, keeping your water clean, balanced, and safe to swim in.
Without regular filter cleans, all that work starts to break down. Here's why keeping your filter in top shape is essential, and how you can get a free filter clean ($125 value) when you start weekly service with us this August.
What Does a Pool Filter Actually Do?
Think of your pool filter like your pool’s kidney; it removes dirt, oil, algae, and other unwanted gunk from the water. Whether you have a cartridge, DE, or sand filter, its job is to trap debris and return clean, clear water back into your pool.
When your filter gets too dirty or clogged, it can’t do its job properly, and that leads to murky water, chemical imbalance, and even damage to your pump and other equipment.
Signs Your Pool Filter Needs to Be Cleaned
Water is cloudy, even after adding chemicals
Poor circulation or weak return flow
Increased pressure on your filter gauge
Pool turns green faster than usual
In Scottsdale, where monsoon storms and dust are regular visitors, filter cleans should be done every 3–6 months, more often in peak swim season.
Why Skipping Filter Cleans Can Cost You
Neglecting your filter might not seem like a big deal at first… until it becomes one. Dirty filters make your system work harder, leading to:
Higher energy bills
Shorter lifespan for your pump and filter
Algae growth and chemical imbalance
Time-consuming (and expensive) cleanups
A routine filter clean is a small investment that protects your entire pool system.
