Keep Your Pool Filter Clean for Peak Performance
Think of your pool filter like the filter in a vacuum—if it gets clogged and dirty, it loses efficiency, and the overall performance of your pool will suffer. However, unlike a vacuum filter, a dirty pool filter can lead to costly repairs. Keeping it clean is one of the most effective ways to ensure your pool operates smoothly.
Cartridge filters are the most common type of pool filter and are relatively easy to clean. Here’s how to do it:
- Turn off the pump and remove the filter gently.
- Rinse with a garden hose, using a gentle stream to avoid damage.
- For a deeper clean, use a filter cleaning solution. Allow the filter to soak in the solution, then rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.
If you notice your pool isn’t running at its best even after routine filter cleaning, it may be time to replace the filter. Over time, filters become less efficient, and there are newer, more effective models on the market.
Routine Pool Maintenance for Long-Term Enjoyment
While pool ownership is fun, it requires regular care. There are a few simple tasks you can do on a daily and weekly basis to keep your pool in great shape and prevent future issues.
Daily Maintenance
- Test pH and free chlorine levels
- Run the pool filter for at least 8–10 hours a day (use a timer for convenience)
- Empty the skimmer baskets
- Add chlorine as needed
- Skim the pool for debris
Weekly Maintenance
- Clean the filter
- Test and adjust chlorine, pH, and alkalinity levels
- Brush the pool walls and floor
- Vacuum the pool to remove debris
- Add shock and algaecide
- Empty the skimmer baskets
- Check slide and diving board fittings (if applicable) for security
- Check water return flow to ensure chemicals mix properly with the water
- Clean the pool deck
