Pool filter cleaning, $180, done on your schedule.
The filter is the part of your pool that quietly does most of the work, and in Houston it clogs faster than anywhere: pollen in spring, dust and construction grit in new communities, and algae residue after every hot spell. A dirty filter shows up as high pressure, weak returns, cloudy water and a cleaner that will not climb the walls.
A proper filter cleaning is more than a hose-down. We take the filter apart, clean each element, inspect for damage and reassemble it for a flat $180. Weekly customers get it tracked and billed only when performed at $150.
Step by step, in the order it happens
Signs it is time
- Filter pressure is 8–10 psi above its clean baseline
- Return jets feel weak or the cleaner stalls
- Water is cloudy even though chemistry tests fine
- It has been more than four months, or an algae treatment just finished
Good to know
Cartridge filters need replacement every two to three years; we tell you when yours is at that point instead of cleaning it again.
A filter that keeps clogging within weeks usually means an algae or phosphate problem, which we can treat.
How often should a Houston pool filter be cleaned?
Every three to four months for most pools, sooner after a green-pool recovery or a heavy pollen season. Weekly customers do not have to remember: we track pressure and schedule it.
Is filter cleaning included in weekly service?
No plan on the market includes a full disassembly cleaning in the monthly price; ours is billed only when performed, $150 for weekly customers and $180 as a one-time visit. Weekly backwash and pressure checks are included.
Do you replace cartridges or DE grids?
Yes. If an element is torn or exhausted we quote the replacement part before ordering it.
