Call us when you noticeThese filter warning signs
We inspect the tank and internal parts to find the problem. The technician finds what failed and explains it before any repair.
Dirt returning to the pool
Debris blowing out of the returns can point to a torn cartridge.
Water leaking from the band
A drip at the middle ring can be a sign of a worn tank O-ring.
Unusually high pressure
A gauge reading higher than normal can point to a dirty filter element.
Cracks in the fiberglass
Visible tank damage can be a sign that the shell is failing.
DE powder in the water
White powder in the pool can point to a torn grid or a broken manifold.
A broken pressure gauge
A gauge stuck at zero can be a sign of a clogged air relief assembly.
