Pool Filter Repair Services in Peoria
Multi-Port Valve Repair
If water is leaking out the waste line or the handle is too stiff to turn, we can rebuild the valve with a new spider gasket and spring.
Grid & Manifold Replacement
Torn DE grids or a cracked top manifold will allow dirt to blow right back into the pool. We replace damaged internals to restore filtration.
O-Ring & Seal Replacement
A leaking belly band or bulkhead fitting can cause your system to lose pressure. We replace worn o-rings and lubricate them for a perfect seal.
Sand Filter Lateral Repair
If sand is blowing into your pool, the laterals at the bottom of the tank are likely broken. We empty the tank and replace the damaged laterals.
Pressure Gauge Replacement
A broken pressure gauge leaves you guessing when to clean your filter. We install accurate, liquid-filled gauges for reliable readings.
Complete Filter Replacement
If the fiberglass or plastic tank is cracked, it cannot be safely repaired. We safely remove the old tank and plumb in a new, high-efficiency filter.
Brands/Materials We Work With
Our technicians are experienced with repairing all major filter brands, including Pentair (Clean & Clear, FNS Plus), Hayward (ProGrid, SwimClear), and Jandy (DEV, CV series).
When rebuilding a filter, we use OEM-quality replacement grids, cartridges, and manifolds. We always use heavy-duty, chemical-resistant o-rings and proper silicone lubricants to ensure your filter seals perfectly and withstands the high pressures of your pool system.
How a Pool Filter Repair Visit Works
System Inspection
We turn on the system to observe the filter under pressure, checking for external leaks, pressure gauge readings, and signs of dirt returning to the pool.
Clear Written Quote
Once we identify the issue (whether it's a ripped grid, a bad spider gasket, or a leaking o-ring), we provide a free written quote for the repair.
Teardown and Repair
We safely depressurize the system, open the filter tank, remove the damaged components, and install the new parts with proper lubrication and alignment.
Testing and Verification
We reassemble the tank, start the pump, bleed the air from the system, and verify that there are no leaks and that the water is filtering cleanly.
Warning Signs You Need Pool Filter Repair
- Dirt Blowing Back Into the PoolIf you vacuum the pool and see a cloud of dirt shooting out of the return jets, your filter internals are compromised and need immediate repair.
- Water Leaking Around the Middle BandA constant drip or spray from the metal band holding the filter halves together means the belly band o-ring has failed or the clamp is damaged.
- Unusually Low PressureIf your pressure gauge reads much lower than normal, water may be bypassing the filter media entirely due to a broken manifold or valve.
- Water Leaking Out the Waste LineIf water is slowly draining out of your backwash hose while the pump is running normally, the spider gasket inside your multi-port valve is torn.
Repair vs Replace
Most pool filter issues can be resolved with a simple repair. Replacing torn grids, new cartridges, or a rebuilt multi-port valve is far more cost-effective than buying a whole new filter system. We will always opt for a repair if it will safely restore your filtration.
However, if the actual fiberglass or plastic tank is cracked or showing signs of severe fiberglass blooming (fraying), it must be replaced. A cracked tank under pressure is a serious safety hazard and cannot be patched. We provide a free written quote so you know exactly what is needed.

Pool Filter Repair FAQ
Why is my pool filter leaking water?
Filter leaks are commonly caused by a worn belly band o-ring, a cracked filter housing, or loose plumbing connections. We can diagnose the exact source and repair it.
Why is dirt returning to my pool?
If dirt is blowing back into the pool, you likely have a torn filter grid, a broken manifold, or a damaged multi-port valve gasket that is allowing debris to bypass the filtration media.
Can a cracked pool filter be repaired?
No. A cracked fiberglass or plastic filter housing is under extreme pressure and cannot be safely patched. The tank must be replaced to prevent a dangerous blowout.
What is a multi-port valve repair?
The multi-port valve controls water flow for backwashing. We repair these by replacing the internal spider gasket, spring, or o-rings when the handle becomes stiff or water leaks out the waste line.
How often do filter grids or cartridges need replacing?
DE filter grids typically last 3 to 5 years, while cartridge filters usually need replacement every 1 to 3 years, depending on pool usage and maintenance.
Do you service sand, DE, and cartridge filters?
Yes, our technicians are fully trained to repair and maintain all three types of pool filtration systems.
