Pool Filter Cleaning & Replacement
Keep your water crystal clear with professional filter service and maintenance.
Why Your Filter is Critical
Your pool filter is the heart of your water circulation system. It removes dirt, debris, bacteria, and other contaminants every single day. Without a properly functioning filter, your water gets cloudy, algae grows faster, and chemicals become less effective. In Baldwin Park, where we use our pools year-round, filter maintenance is not optional. It is essential.
Most pool owners do not realize their filter needs regular cleaning. The system keeps running, so everything seems fine. But over time, dirt builds up inside the filter media. Water flow decreases. Your pump has to work harder. Eventually, your water quality suffers even if you are adding the right chemicals. Regular filter cleaning prevents all these problems and extends the life of your entire pool system.
We Service All Filter Types
Different pools use different filter systems. We have experience with all three major types:
Sand Filters
Sand filters are the most common type in residential pools. They trap debris as water passes through a bed of special pool sand. We backwash sand filters to flush out accumulated dirt and replace the sand every 5 to 7 years as needed.
Cartridge Filters
Cartridge filters use replaceable pleated cartridges to trap particles. They provide excellent filtration and are easy to maintain. We remove the cartridges, spray them clean, and replace them when they become too worn or damaged.
DE (Diatomaceous Earth) Filters
DE filters provide the finest filtration available. They use a powder made from fossilized organisms to trap even microscopic particles. We backwash DE filters and add fresh DE powder to restore peak performance.

Signs You Need Filter Replacement
Even with regular cleaning, filters do not last forever. Here are the warning signs that it is time for a replacement: your water stays cloudy despite proper chemistry and cleaning, your filter pressure is consistently high even after cleaning, you notice cracks or damage in the filter housing or cartridges, your filter is more than 10 years old, or your energy bills are climbing because your pump works harder than it should.
When replacement is necessary, we help you choose the right filter for your pool size and budget. We handle the entire installation process and dispose of your old filter properly. Our Baldwin Park pool technicians work with all major filter brands and can recommend the best option for your specific situation. Upgrading to a newer, more efficient filter often pays for itself in lower energy costs and better water quality.
