A dirty filter can’t clean your pool. When your filter fills with debris, oils, and calcium buildup, water just flows through without getting cleaned. You’ll notice cloudy water that won’t clear, algae starting to grow, and your pump working harder than normal.
Most Weatherford pool owners wait too long between filter cleanings. They backwash when pressure gets high but never do the deep cleaning that removes oils, sunscreen residue, and calcium deposits stuck in the filter media. Those contaminants don’t come out with regular backwashing—they need chemical cleaning or complete media replacement.
We clean pool filters properly based on what type you have. Sand filters need backwashing weekly and deep cleaning annually. Cartridge filters need hosing off every month and acid soaking quarterly. DE filters need fresh DE powder after backwashing and grid cleaning yearly. Each type requires different care, and skipping proper cleaning makes your entire pool system work harder and less efficiently.
Your filter is your pool’s kidney—it removes everything that makes water dirty. But just like a vacuum cleaner bag, it fills up and stops working effectively. Regular cleaning keeps your filter functioning and protects your pump from working too hard against a clogged system.
We’ve cleaned thousands of filters across Parker County. The most common problem we see is cartridge filters that haven’t been properly cleaned in years. The pleats get packed with calcium, oils cement the fabric together, and no amount of hosing removes the buildup. At that point, the cartridge needs acid soaking or replacement.
Filter pressure tells you when backwashing is needed. We check your filter’s clean starting pressure and backwash when it rises 8 to 10 PSI above that baseline. But backwashing only removes loose debris—it doesn’t clean out oils, lotions, and minerals that accumulate over time. Those need chemical treatment to break down and rinse away.
Sand filters get backwashed by reversing water flow through the tank, which flushes trapped debris out the waste line. This takes 3 to 5 minutes and should happen weekly during summer. But once or twice a year, sand filters need deep cleaning with filter cleaner chemicals that dissolve oils and calcium the backwash cycle can’t remove.

Filter cleaning is part of regular pool care. We monitor filter pressure during weekly visits, backwash when needed, and schedule deep cleaning based on how your filter performs. Consistent filter maintenance prevents cloudy water, reduces chemical costs, and extends equipment life.
Aledo and Brock filters need the same cleaning schedule Weatherford filters do. Hard water, heavy pool use, and summer heat create the same filter challenges throughout Parker County. We handle filter cleaning with the same thorough approach regardless of location.
A clean filter makes pool cleaning easier and more effective. When your filter works properly, debris gets removed from the water quickly. Vacuuming doesn’t stir up dirt that just settles back down because the filter catches it on the first pass. Water clears faster after shocking or chemical treatments.
Weatherford’s hard water makes filter cleaning more challenging. Calcium deposits build up inside filter media faster here than in areas with soft water. Cartridge pleats get cemented together. Sand channels and stops filtering evenly. DE grids develop calcium crusts that reduce filtration. We use descaling chemicals specifically designed to break down mineral buildup without damaging filter components.
Cartridge filters need the most frequent hands-on cleaning. We pull the cartridge out, spray it down with high-pressure water to remove loose debris, then inspect the pleats for damage or permanent clogging. Cartridges showing oils, sunscreen buildup, or discoloration get soaked in filter cleaner—a degreasing chemical that breaks down organic compounds the water spray can’t remove.
The acid soak process for cartridges involves diluted muriatic acid that dissolves calcium deposits. We soak cartridges for 15 to 30 minutes, rinse thoroughly with fresh water, then neutralize any remaining acid. This restores filtering capacity and extends cartridge life by years. Without periodic acid soaking, calcium-clogged cartridges need replacement every year or two instead of lasting five years or more.
DE filters use diatomaceous earth powder that coats internal grids and does the actual filtering. After backwashing a DE filter, you have to add fresh DE through the skimmer—usually 5 to 8 pounds depending on filter size. We measure the correct amount because too little means poor filtration and too much can damage the grids.
DE filter grids need annual cleaning. We open the filter tank, remove all the grids, spray them down thoroughly, inspect for tears or damage, and soak them in filter cleaner if they’re coated with oils or calcium. Damaged grids get replaced before reassembly. This deep cleaning keeps DE filters operating at peak efficiency.
Sand filter deep cleaning involves adding filter cleaner directly to the sand through the skimmer while the pump runs. The chemical circulates through the sand bed, breaking down oils and organic buildup. After soaking for several hours or overnight, we backwash heavily to flush out the dissolved contaminants. This process restores flow rate and filtering effectiveness without replacing the sand.
Filter cleaning frequency depends on pool use and conditions. Pools with heavy swimmer loads need more frequent cleaning because body oils, lotions, and sunscreen clog filters fast. Pools surrounded by trees collect more organic debris. Salt pools with low stabilizer levels work the filter harder. We adjust cleaning schedules based on your specific situation.
Your pump strain basket catches large debris before it reaches the filter, but it needs emptying weekly. A full pump basket restricts flow, makes your pump work harder, and reduces filtration. We empty pump and skimmer baskets during every visit and check for damage that could let debris through to your filter.
Running your filter long enough each day matters as much as keeping it clean. A perfectly clean filter that only runs four hours daily can’t turn over your pool water enough times to stay clear. We evaluate your filter run time and recommend adjustments based on pool size, season, and use patterns.
Cloudy water that won’t clear despite proper chemistry usually means a filter problem. Either the filter is clogged and needs cleaning, the media is worn out and needs replacement, or the filter is undersized for your pool. We diagnose the root cause instead of just throwing more chemicals at cloudy water that won’t respond.
Filter damage during cleaning happens when people use too much pressure, don’t rinse acid off completely, or reassemble components incorrectly. Torn cartridge pleats, cracked DE grids, and damaged sand filter laterals all result from improper cleaning techniques. We clean filters carefully using methods that restore performance without causing damage.
Preventive filter maintenance costs less than dealing with persistent water quality problems. A $75 cartridge acid soak beats buying a new $200 cartridge every year. Annual DE grid cleaning prevents $400 grid replacement. Sand filter chemical cleaning extends media life by years. We recommend maintenance based on what actually saves you money long-term.
Winter filter cleaning before closing your pool prevents problems next spring. Oils and organics left in the filter over winter harden and become nearly impossible to remove. We deep clean filters before winter shutdown so they’re ready to perform when you open your pool.
Some filters are too old or damaged to clean effectively. Cartridge fabric that’s torn or separating from the end caps needs replacement, not cleaning. DE grids with broken frames won’t hold together through another season. Sand filter tanks with cracks leak and can’t be repaired. We give honest assessments about repair versus replacement.
We serve Parker County families who want their pool filters maintained properly without the hassle of doing the dirty work themselves. Whether you’re in Weatherford, Aledo, Brock, or nearby areas, we bring the equipment, chemicals, and expertise to keep your filter cleaning your water effectively year-round.
