Filter Service FAQ for Santee, CA

How often should I clean my pool filter in Santee?

Cartridges: every 3-6 months. DE: every 3-6 months plus annual teardown. Sand: backwash every 4-6 weeks, full media change every 5 years.

Is cartridge or DE better for my Santee pool?

DE catches finer particles, so water is crystal clearer. Cartridge is easier to maintain and doesn't require DE powder. Most newer pools are cartridge. Older pools often have DE or sand.

My Santee pool filter pressure keeps rising fast. What's wrong?

Usually debris overload or scale. In Santee's hard water, calcium can embed in cartridge pleats. Acid wash or replacement is the fix.
