Why Locals Choose This Option?

Homeowners want to know how often filters need servicing, what causes common leaks, and whether it makes sense to repair or replace older units that show signs of wear.

How do I know my filter needs repair?
High or low pressure readings, cloudy water despite proper chemistry, and visible leaks around the tank or valve indicate filter trouble. Poor circulation and frequent backwashing also signal internal damage.
What parts fail most often in DE filters?
Torn grids and cracked manifolds are the most common failures. We inspect every grid for rips and check manifold fittings for stress cracks during each repair.
Can you fix leaks around the multiport valve?
Yes, we replace spider gaskets, O-rings, and seals inside multiport valves on sand and DE filters. Proper lubrication and correct reassembly prevent repeat leaks.
Does the dusty Inland Empire climate affect filters?
Dust and pollen in Chino Hills increase the load on cartridges and DE grids, requiring more frequent cleaning and occasional early replacement. Regular maintenance extends filter life.
Should I upgrade to a larger filter?
If your current filter cycles too often or struggles to keep water clear, a larger unit improves flow and reduces strain. We evaluate your pool size and usage before recommending upgrades.
