Restore Flow and Improve Circulation

Lock In Pool Filter Cleaning in Richardson, Dallas, Frisco, McKinney or the surrounding areas

Your filter works harder than any other piece of equipment in your pool system, trapping dirt, pollen, oils, and debris every single day, and when it gets clogged, your circulation suffers and your water clarity drops. Plaster Dude offers professional filter cleaning in Richardson, Plano, Dallas and the surrounding areas that includes complete disassembly, washing, inspection, and reassembly to restore peak performance and extend the life of your filtration system. You'll notice better water flow, clearer water, and less strain on your pump after we clean and reinstall your filter cartridges or grids.


This service is especially important during North Dallas pollen seasons when heavy yellow dust coats everything outdoors and clogs filters faster than usual. We handle single cartridge filters, multi-cartridge systems, and diatomaceous earth (DE) filters with the same attention to detail. Our process includes disassembling the filter housing, removing cartridges or grids, washing them with high-pressure water to remove trapped debris, inspecting for tears or damage, and reinstalling everything with a proper seal to prevent leaks.

What's Included in This Service?

When you schedule filter cleaning, you're getting a complete breakdown and rebuild of your filtration system to remove buildup that backwashing alone can't clear. You'll see our technicians arrive with the tools and equipment needed to disassemble your filter housing safely, remove all cartridges or grids, and wash them thoroughly with pressurized water that clears every pleat and crevice. Homeowners in Richardson, Dallas, Plano or the surroudning areas who schedule filter cleaning once or twice per season report longer equipment life, lower energy costs, and consistently clear water.


Plaster Dude inspects each cartridge or grid during the cleaning process to check for tears, cracks, or worn material that could allow debris to bypass the filter. If we spot damage, we'll let you know and provide recommendations for replacement. We reinstall everything with fresh O-rings and proper alignment to ensure a tight seal and prevent air leaks that reduce circulation.


This service covers single cartridge filters, multi-cartridge systems, and DE filters. Each type requires slightly different handling, but the goal is the same: remove trapped dirt, restore flow, and extend the life of your filtration media so your pool stays cleaner between services.

How Our Process Works

Homeowners often want to know how often filters need cleaning, what signs indicate buildup, and what the process involves. Here are the answers to the most common questions about filter cleaning.

How often should I clean my filter?

Most filters need professional cleaning once or twice per year depending on pool usage, debris load, and local pollen levels. Cartridge filters in high-pollen areas like Richardson,Allen, Frisco and the surroudnign areas may need cleaning every four to six months.

Can I clean the filter myself?
You can rinse cartridges with a garden hose, but professional cleaning uses high-pressure water and specialized tools to remove oils, minerals, and fine debris that home methods miss. It's worth having it done right.
What's the difference between backwashing and filter cleaning?
Backwashing reverses water flow to flush debris out of sand or DE filters, but it doesn't clean cartridges. Filter cleaning physically removes cartridges or grids and washes them individually for a deeper clean.
Will you replace my filter if it's damaged?
We don't carry replacement filters on service trucks, but we'll inspect your cartridges or grids during cleaning and provide part numbers and recommendations if replacements are needed.
How long does filter cleaning take?
Most filter cleanings take 60 to 90 minutes including disassembly, washing, inspection, and reinstallation. Single cartridge filters are faster, while multi-cartridge and DE systems take a bit longer.

Clean filters mean better circulation, clearer water, and longer equipment life, all of which save you money over time. Reach out to us at (214) 570-9411 to schedule your filter cleaning and keep your system running at peak performance.
