Filter Services

Sand Filter Installation:

We provide professional installation of sand filters, ensuring proper setup and optimal performance.

Sand Filter Re-Packing:

We can re-pack your sand filter with fresh white silica sand (.45-.55 #20) or Dr. Dryden’s Activate, ensuring optimal filtration.

Cartridge Filter Upgrades:

Upgrade to a SwimClear cartridge filter for enhanced filtration and easier maintenance.

Dr. Dryden Activate Filter Media Implementation:

We offer Dr. Dryden’s Activate, a filter media that replaces traditional sand and never needs to be changed. This filter media is a great option for those looking for a long term filtration solution (it will not physically break down, unlike sand).

Filter Maintenance:

Filter sand should be changed every 5-7 years. Your filter should be backwashed regularly and chemically cleaned once per season.

It is the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure the site’s electrical supply meets current safety codes, and we highly recommend having a licensed electrician verify your wiring setup prior to our installation.

Yes. Because new pumps and filters often have different dimensions than older models, our installation service includes the necessary PVC plumbing modifications on your equipment pad to properly align and connect the new unit to your existing system.
