Pool & Spa Filter Cleaning in Utah
Deep cleaning and maintenance for cartridge, DE, and sand pool filters: restore flow and filtration efficiency.
Final price depends on pool size and location.
Every pool and hot tub relies on its filter to catch everything from fine dust to algae, and a clogged one quietly costs you water clarity and pump efficiency. Cartridge filters, the type used in virtually every hot tub and most pools, need a deep clean every 3-6 months. Pools running DE filters need their grids cleaned annually, and pools with sand filters should have the media replaced every 5-7 years. Backwashing a sand filter alone won't remove what builds up in between. Our deep cleaning service restores full flow and filtration, extending the life of your filter and keeping your water crystal clear.

Common Questions
How often should pool and hot tub filters be deep cleaned?
Cartridge filters, the type in every hot tub and most pools, should be deep cleaned every 3-6 months (more often with heavy use). Pools running DE filters need annual grid cleaning; pools with sand filters should be backwashed regularly and the sand replaced every 5-7 years.
My filter pressure is high but I just cleaned it. What's wrong?
Persistently high pressure after cleaning usually means the filter media is worn out and needs replacement, or there's a blockage downstream. We'll diagnose the exact cause.
Which filter type is best for Utah?
Cartridge filters are the most common option we see in Utah, and they're what virtually every hot tub uses. They're efficient, easy to maintain, and handle our hard water well in pools too. We can advise on the best option for your specific setup.
