Pool Filter Cleaning Service
Ensuring the cleanliness of your swimming pool filter not only enhances the pool’s appearance but also plays a vital role in maintaining balanced water chemistry. A well-maintained filter not only improves pool performance but also simplifies overall upkeep.
At Poolar Express, we recommend cleaning your pool filter every six months.
Our thorough filter cleaning involves the disassembly of the entire filter unit, with each individual filter element receiving meticulous cleaning. During this process, our technicians conduct a close inspection of the filter and elements, identifying any issues such as cracks, tears, or missing components.
