Pool Filtration Problems and Cartridge Filters
Dirty Cartridge Pool Filters
Do you have a cartridge filter on your pool? This picture is from one of the pools in Wilmington enrolled in one of our maintenance programs. When we began regular maintenance on this pool, the circulation was very poor and the filtration was inadequate. When we inquired to the pool owner as to when the previous pool service company had flushed or replaced the cartridges, he told us he had no recollection of them doing so. Upon further investigation, we turned up these cartridges. They looked to be original (8 years old) to the pool and were in terrible condition. Not only were they impacted with debris and dead algae, but they were ripped and broken in parts, allowing particles to be blown through the filter back into the pool. Obviously, this was the source of the poor circulation and filtration of the pool water. Cartridge filters are a great type of filter, but the cartridges need to be inspected and flushed regularly to prevent premature wear and/or poor circulation. At Bullfrog Pool Service, we stay on top of cartridge and DE (Diatomaceous Earth) filters by performing inspections and filter flushes whenever necessary. Is your current service performing this on your filter? Feel free to call us with any questions you may have concerning your cartridge or DE filter, and we will be happy to come out and give a free on-site consultation concerning your issue.
