Frequently Asked Questions
How often should DE or cartridge filters be cleaned?
In Frisco, cartridge filters should be cleaned every 3 months, while DE filters should be cleaned every 6 months. Pools with heavy usage, storms, or high debris levels may require more frequent service to maintain proper flow and water clarity.
What are signs my pool filter needs service?
Common signs include cloudy water, increased pressure readings, weak water flow, or debris returning to the pool after cleaning.
What is the difference between DE and cartridge filters?
DE filters use a fine powder coating on grids to trap very small particles, while cartridge filters use pleated fabric elements. Both are effective but require different cleaning methods.
Can a dirty filter affect my pool pump?
Yes. A clogged filter increases pressure and forces your pump to work harder, which can lead to overheating and premature pump failure.
Do you replace filter cartridges or grids if they are damaged?
Yes. If we find torn cartridges or damaged DE grids, we recommend and install replacements to restore proper filtration performance.
Why does my filter pressure keep rising quickly?
This usually indicates buildup inside the filter media or undersized filtration for the pool’s demand. We clean and assess the system to correct the issue.
Is professional cleaning better than backwashing or rinsing at home?
Yes. While basic rinsing helps temporarily, professional deep cleaning removes oils, calcium buildup, and fine debris that standard maintenance cannot fully eliminate.
