Tampa Pool Cleaning Service and Maintenance

Filter Cleaning

If you want to ensure your pool remains clean and healthy, then investing in regular filter cleanings is a smart move. This is true for all residential pools. The main reason for this is because up to 98% of all pool filters today are either cartridge, diatomaceous earth (DE), or a combination of these two types, which is referred to as a hybrid. You can learn more about the types of swimming pool filters and why regular cleaning services are so important by calling our professional team. The rest of the pools (one or two percent of them) are sand filters which don’t clean up or disassemble without changing the sand.

Avoid Voiding the Warranty on Your Pool Filter

Did you know that your swimming pool filtration system is under warranty from the manufacturer? If so, making sure that it is cared for properly is essential to keep this warranty intact. Usually, this means cleaning the filters every three to six months depending on the type of filter in place along with the manufacturer of the filter.

If you fail to invest in regular filter cleanings, it may void your warranty, as well.
​
If you have purchased home warranty coverage for your pool equipment, they are typically going to refuse providing coverage for filter repairs if you are unable to prove that it’s been properly maintained by professional service providers. Unfortunately, there are far too many pool owners who discover this after it is too late.

Our Filter Cleaning Services Will Pay for Themselves

In many cases, the electricity savings offered by regular pool filter cleanings will pay for the cost of the service. If you want to verify this, all you need is a voltmeter. Put this on the filter pump motor to measure the total amount of amps that it is pulling when it is turned on both before and after the filter cleaning service. Keep in mind, if you are not familiar with electricity, hire a professional to do this for you.

If your filter is dirty and you have had it cleaned, it will probably drop the pressure on the tank by up to 10 psi. This is true regardless of if you have a pool cartridge filter or another type in place. Also, professional cleaning services will remove any clogs, prevent backwash, and ensure the water remains clean and healthy.

When your pool filter is both clean and maintained, you will experience more benefits than just electricity savings. Your pool water will be healthier, you will be able to prolong the filter life of your pool, and you can prolong the life of your filter pump motor.
