Filter Cleaning and Quarterly Maintenance

---

 A complete disassembly of the filter and it's elements to inspect for integrity and potential defects. 

This includes, but is not limited to: Pressure gauge, air relief valve, air bleed screen, compression spring, top & bottom manifold, bottom manifold o-ring, cartridges, grids, drain plug, drain plug o-ring, tank body, tank body o-ring, filter band, filter unions, etc.

The most common cartridge filter seen in the modern pool age due to it's functionality and reliability. Prices range from $125-$175 depending on the size of the filter. Filter will be disassembled and cartridges sprayed cleaned. Filter promptly reassembled and pressurized to test for leaks.

Not very common, but has the same cleaning procedure as the Quad Cartridge filters. Price is $150 for DE Quad Cartridge filters.  Filter will be disassembled and cartridges sprayed cleaned. Promptly following reassembly, the filter will be recharged with the proper amount of diatomaceous earth, pressurized and tested for leaks.

Somewhat common, but usually is superseded by the Quad Cartridge filter due to difficulty in upkeep and reassembly after cleanings. Price is $150 for DE filters and cleanings are only required once per year. All (8) grids are full disassembled and sprayed clean. All grids inspected for breaks, rips or tears before reassembly. Promptly following reassembly, filter is recharged with the proper amount of diatomaceous earth, pressurized and tested for leaks.

Fairly common in HOA or residential neighborhoods for small bodies of water, such as a spa or play pool. Single Cartridge cleanings are FREE and included in Gifford's Pools monthly service. These cartridges are cleaned every 4-6 weeks depending on factors such as bather load or landscaping. The single cartridge is sprayed clean before reassembly. Filter is then pressurized and tested for leaks.
