Pool Sand Changes
Restore crystal clear water with fresh filter media
Is your sand filter struggling? After 5-7 years, filter sand loses its edge—literally. Worn sand means cloudy water, frequent backwashing, and algae problems. Professional sand replacement restores powerful filtration instantly.
💎 Crystal Clear Water
Fresh sand traps particles down to 20 microns for pristine clarity
🔄 Less Backwashing
New sand means longer filter cycles and 50% less water waste
💰 Save on Chemicals
Better filtration = less chemical use and lower monthly costs
Is Your Sand Filter Due for Service?
Recognize these warning signs before filtration fails completely.
⏰ It's Been 5+ Years
Sand wears smooth from constant water flow, losing its rough edges that trap debris. Even if water looks okay, worn sand works 50% less effectively. Most manufacturers recommend replacement every 5-7 years for optimal performance.
☁️ Cloudy Water Won't Clear
If your pool stays cloudy despite proper chemistry and long filter runs, sand has lost its trapping ability. Channeling occurs when water creates paths through old sand, bypassing filtration entirely. Fresh sand solves this immediately.
🔄 Frequent Backwashing Needed
New sand needs backwashing every 4-6 weeks. If you're backwashing weekly or more, the sand is saturated with oils and debris it can't release. This wastes water and indicates replacement is overdue.
📊 High Pressure Too Soon
Clean sand maintains low pressure for weeks. When pressure rises within days of backwashing, sand is clogged beyond cleaning. High pressure strains pumps and reduces flow, damaging equipment over time.
🦠 Algae Keeps Returning
Poor filtration lets algae spores pass through, causing recurring blooms despite proper chemical levels. New sand traps these microscopic organisms, preventing algae before it starts. Stop fighting algae—fix the root cause.
💧 Sand in Pool
Finding sand at pool bottom means broken laterals or channeling so severe that sand escapes the filter. This requires immediate attention to prevent pump damage. We inspect and repair laterals during every sand change.
Professional Sand Change Process
Why Professional Service Matters
Sand changes seem simple but require expertise to prevent damage. Laterals (the spoke-like pipes at filter bottom) break easily if mishandled. One cracked lateral ruins the entire filter. We've perfected techniques that protect these critical components while ensuring complete sand removal.
Our Complete Service Includes
We start by safely removing old sand without damaging laterals. Every grain must go—leftover sand contaminates new media. We inspect laterals, o-rings, and internal components for wear. The tank gets deep cleaned to remove years of buildup. New media is added carefully to protect laterals, with precise measurements for your filter size.
Testing & Optimization
After installation, we run extended backwash cycles to remove media dust. Pressure gauges are calibrated for accurate readings. We test flow rates and adjust valves for optimal performance. You'll see immediate improvement in water clarity and circulation. We provide maintenance tips specific to your chosen media.
Disposal & Cleanup
Old sand weighs 200-300 pounds and requires proper disposal. We handle removal, hauling, and cleanup completely. No mess left behind—just a perfectly functioning filter. Many DIY attempts end with sand everywhere and damaged equipment. Trust professionals for this critical service.
