A pool is a great place to spend time with family and friends, but it must be properly maintained to meet health and safety standards. Filters keep dirt, debris, and algae out of the pool water. However, they don’t last forever. To keep the water quality high, filters need regular maintenance and replacement. Here are the most common signs to look for when inspecting your pool filter.
Water Quality Issues
If the pool water is cloudy or dirty, the filter might be clogged and unable to remove debris. This can happen even if the filter is running. It may take a long time for the water to clear up after dirt is introduced.
Backwashing More Often
When you backwash the filter, the water is reversed to remove dirt and flush it away through the waste pipe. It may indicate that the filter is too dirty or damaged for it to function properly.
Water Pressure Can Suddenly Increase or Decrease
Dirty filters can become clogged, causing a sudden increase in water pressure. Pressure can also rise if the filter is under greater strain. When the filter is damaged or the water quality is too low, it will strain the filter. If the pressure drops, water may not pass through the filters correctly or at all. This could be due to debris clogging the pipes.
