What do Shelter Valley homeowners ask about filter service?

How often should I clean my pool filter in Shelter Valley?

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 Shelter Valley 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 Shelter Valley pool filter pressure keeps rising fast. What's wrong?

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