Keeping your swimming pool filter clean will not only improve how well your pool looks, but will also help keep your water chemistry balanced. The cleaner you keep your pool filter, the better your pool will perform, and the easier it will be to maintain.

Here’s a breakdown of the 2 types of Filter Cleaning Services offered by The Pool Boys. A proper filter cleaning requires the entire filter to be disassembled and each individual filter element to be thoroughly cleaned. While we are doing this our technicians will closely inspect the filter and elements for any failures such as cracks, tears, or missing pieces. Any issues will be brought to the homeowners attention immediately.
