Pool Transformations

Watch the pressure gauge: Note the clean, baseline pressure after a full service. When pressure rises 8-10 psi above that level, it usually indicates the need for cleaning or backwashing.
Perform routine cleaning: For sand or DE filters, follow the manufacturer's backwash steps with the pump off and valves in the correct positions. For cartridge filters, shut off power, relieve pressure at the air bleed, open the tank, then remove and hose off cartridges from top to bottom.
Check for air or leaks: After reassembling, open the air bleed and restart the pump to purge air. Look for drips around unions, lids, and the tank band. Any bulging tank, cracked lid, or rusted clamp needs professional attention.
