Filter Cleaning Services in Peoria

DE Filter Teardown

We completely disassemble your DE filter, wash off the old caked-on powder and dirt, inspect the grids for tears, and recharge the system with fresh DE.

Cartridge Deep Cleaning

Cartridges trap fine dirt and body oils. We remove them and use specialized high-pressure nozzles to clean deep between the pleats, restoring flow.

O-Ring Lubrication

During every filter cleaning, we inspect the belly band o-ring, clean the seating groove, and apply fresh silicone lubricant to ensure a watertight seal.

Internal Inspections

While the filter is open, we inspect the top manifold and internal standpipe for cracks that could allow dirt to bypass the filter and return to the pool.

Pressure Optimization

A clean filter drastically reduces system pressure, which takes the strain off your pool pump and improves the performance of your pool cleaner.

Sand Replacement

For sand filters, backwashing only does so much. Every 3 to 5 years, we can safely evacuate the old, channeled sand and replace it with fresh filter media.

Brands/Materials We Work With

We clean and maintain all major filter systems, including Pentair (Clean & Clear, FNS Plus), Hayward (SwimClear, ProGrid), and Jandy (CV, DEV series).

When recharging DE filters, we use high-quality Diatomaceous Earth powder for maximum water clarity. For reassembly, we rely exclusively on pool-grade silicone lubricants (never petroleum-based) to protect your o-rings from expanding or degrading.

How a Filter Cleaning Visit Works

Safe Teardown

We turn off the pump and safely bleed all pressure from the tank before removing the metal belly band and lifting off the heavy tank lid.

Deep Cleaning

We carefully remove the internal grid assembly or cartridges and wash them thoroughly, removing all trapped dirt, oils, and old DE powder.

Inspection and Reassembly

We inspect the elements for tears. We then clean the tank's sealing groove, lubricate the o-ring, and carefully reassemble and tighten the tank.

System Restart & Recharge

We restart the pump, ensure there are no leaks around the band, and (for DE filters) add the precise amount of fresh DE powder through the skimmer.

Warning Signs You Need a Filter Cleaning

High Filter PressureIf your pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI higher than its clean starting pressure, the filter is clogged with dirt and desperately needs a cleaning.
Weak Return JetsPut your hand in front of the return jets in the pool. If the water flow feels weak, a dirty filter is likely restricting the circulation.
Cloudy Water That Won't ClearIf your chemical levels are perfectly balanced but the water remains cloudy, your filter is too dirty to capture fine particles.
Pool Cleaner Stops MovingSuction-side pool cleaners rely on strong water flow. A clogged filter will reduce suction so much that the cleaner stops moving around the pool.

What's Included

Our filter cleaning service is a complete teardown, not just a quick hose-off. We take the time to inspect the internal manifold, grids, or cartridges for wear and tear that could cause future problems. The service includes fresh DE powder and professional o-ring lubrication.

We provide a free written quote before performing the service. If we open the filter and find that the grids or cartridges are too damaged to clean and need replacement, we will show you exactly why and give you an honest quote for the parts, with no pressure.

Pool Filter Cleaning FAQ

How often should my pool filter be deep cleaned?

We recommend a full filter teardown and deep cleaning every 6 months for DE and cartridge filters. Sand filters should have their sand replaced every 3 to 5 years.

Is backwashing the same as filter cleaning?

No. Backwashing flushes out loose dirt, but it does not remove the oils, calcium, and deeply embedded debris that clog the filter media over time. A deep cleaning involves taking the filter apart and manually washing the elements.

Why is my pool pressure so high?

High pressure (usually 8-10 PSI above your clean starting pressure) indicates that the filter is clogged with dirt and debris, forcing the pump to work harder to push water through.

Can a dirty filter cause algae?

Yes. A clogged filter severely reduces water circulation and filtration efficiency. Poor circulation leads to dead spots in the pool where algae can quickly bloom, even if your chlorine levels are fine.

What is included in a DE filter cleaning?

We disassemble the tank, remove the grid assembly, hose off all old DE and dirt, inspect the grids for tears, inspect the manifold for cracks, reassemble, lubricate the o-ring, and add fresh DE powder.

Do you clean cartridge filters?

Yes. We remove the cartridges and use specialized high-pressure nozzles to clean deep between the pleats, removing oils and debris to restore maximum water flow.
