We provide a complete filter cleaning service for Cartridge and DE style filters for $165 + tax in League City, Friendswood, Clear Lake, Pearland and the surrounding area. The Pool Boys recommend cleaning your pool filter every 6 months. The cleaner you keep your pool filter, the better your pool will perform, and the easier it will be to maintain. Water may need to be added to the pool to replace the backwashed water.Keeping your swimming pool filter clean will not only improve how well your pool looks, but will also help you keep your water chemistry balanced. NOTE: Take a reading of this new clean starting pressure, so you have a reference point for the next backwash cycle. The DE is then sitting on the bottom of the filter. Inside the filter the Flex tubes are being raised and lowered, shaking the DE and debris off the tubes. Slowly raise the handle then firmly push it down. Turn the pump off and grasp the bump handle.
Once the filter pressure rises 8-10 PSI over clean starting pressure, it is time to bump the filter to regenerate the DE. Lters are unique because they cannot be backwashed. Once a year, the filter should be taken apart and thoroughly cleaned. A jet-action cleaning wand can be used to remove any remaining DE. The pump can be turned on to help expel the dirty DE, but it should be for no longer than a minute. To replace DE turn off the pump, bump the handle to shake DE off of the tubes and open the drain valve. When there is no pressure drop after bumping or the pressure rises very quickly after bumping, the DE will need to be drained and replaced. When the pressure goes 8-10 PSI over this, the filter will need to be bumped again. The pressure reading after bumping is the new starting pressure. After the bumping, the pressure dropped to 13 PSI.) You “bumped” the handle when the pressure reached 20 PSI. (Example: the original starting pressure was 10 PSI. The filter pressure will not drop to the original starting pressure, but will drop lower then the previous reading. When the pump is turned on, DE will recoat the tubes. Perflex filters are unique because they cannot be backwashed. Turn on the pump and once primed add required DE.
Turn off the pump and rotate the valve back to filter. Turn on the pump and let water flow for 20-30 seconds, cleaning out the plumbing lines. If using a multiport valve, rotate the handle to rinse. Once the pump is primed, add the required DE. With a slide valve, push the handle down and start the pump. Once the water runs clear, turn off the pump. When the pump is turned on, the dirty DE and water will flow out to waste. Rotate the multiport valve to backwash position or slide the slide valve up. Vertical Grid: When the filter pressure rises 8-10 PSI over the clean starting pressure, the filter must be backwashed.
