Dirty Filters = Low Flow! 🏊♂️💦
A customer recently asked us, “Why is my pool’s water pressure so low?” One of the first things we checked was the filter and sure enough, it was DIRTY! 😳
Your pool filter catches dirt, debris, oils, and other particles from your water. Over time, that buildup restricts water flow and can cause low pressure, weak returns, poor circulation, and puts extra strain on your equipment.
You should thoroughly clean your filter at least once a month. Simply use a garden hose, spray the inside and outside of filter.
👉 Filters should generally be changed annually, but how often depends on your pool, surrounding environment, usage, and how much debris it collects.
And remember low water pressure isn’t always the filter! It could also be caused by low water level, a clogged pump basket, skimmer blockage, plumbing restrictions, or equipment issues.
Regular maintenance keeps your pool circulating properly and helps your equipment run efficiently. 💙
When was the last time you cleaned your filter? 👀
