How Often Should You Clean Your Pool Filter in Texas?
Avoid cloudy water and pump burnouts by keeping your pool filters on a clean schedule.
In the hot, humid Texas Hill Country, cartridge and Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) pool filters should be fully disassembled and chemically cleaned at least every 6 months (typically in spring and fall). Sand filters should be backwashed monthly and have their sand media replaced every 3 to 5 years.
Why Texas Summers Require Filter Diligence
Hill Country storms dump tons of fine dust and organic phosphates directly into pools, overloading the filtration system. A dirty filter restricted by dust and scale causes:
- Poor circulation and dead spots where algae can take hold.
- Increased workload on the pool pump motor, raising electric bills and shortening pump life.
- Cloudy, hazy water that is unsanitary for swimmers.
