A pool filter is an essential component of any swimming pool, responsible for removing debris and contaminants from the water to keep it clean and clear. Over time, however, the filter can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its efficiency and potentially damaging the pool’s circulation system. Regular pool filter cleaning is necessary to ensure that the filter is functioning properly and maintaining a safe and healthy swimming environment.

Rich is a great guy. Does a great job. Great work ethic. Great personality.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words, Justin! We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience with Rich. Your feedback motivates us to continue providing excellent service!
Rich replaced my pool pump. He is a good guy, did what he said he would, and did a very good job.
There aren't enough good things I can say about Dustin and Tri City.I have a Hayward heat pump that needed some help. I literally contacted 10 repair men and non of them could get the job done. Dustin to the rescue. He showed up, studied the problem, overcame hurdles and got it done !!! So grateful for his persistence and skills. Not to mention complete honesty and all around kindness.Thank you kindly Sir, I will be a customer for life !
Response from the owner: Thank you for your glowing review, Sam! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dustin and his dedication to solving your issue. Your kind words and loyalty mean a lot to us. We look forward to serving you for many more years to come!
I've had these guys out twice for Hayward products that had some minor issues that were under warranty and both times they've blown me away with their professionalism. This time they even tuned up a few things that were un-related to the call or anything they did. I will definitely be using these guys for my next big project.Oct 11 2024 edit: you guys still in business? I can't seem to get in touch with you anymore...
Response from the owner: Thank you, Chris Wampler, for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you were impressed with our professionalism and the extra tune-ups we provided. We look forward to working with you again on your next big project. Thank you for choosing Tri City Pool Services!

Response from the owner: Thank you for your fantastic review, Noeske! We're thrilled to hear that Rich provided quick and effective service. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we look forward to serving you again in the future!
Tri-City Pools has been great, we have been using their services for about a year and our pool hasn’t been this nice since the year it was put in. They are great about communicating what needs too be added or repaired and they do the work quick, clean and in a timely manner. A common feeling when it comes to pool services is you wonder what it is you are really paying for but with Tri-City you wont feel like that. They send you a text every week after your service and always arrive close to the same time every week. It’s been a great experience at a competitive price.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your detailed review, Tyler! We're thrilled to hear that you're satisfied with our services and that we have helped keep your pool in great condition. Your kind words about our communication and efficiency mean a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to provide you with excellent service!
Rich provided great service and communication and we will miss him! We are also grateful that he lined us up with a new service so that our pool maintenance was uninterrupted in his absence. Rich is a great guy and we wish him the best!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words, Leigh Anne Siegel! We are glad to know that Rich made a significant impact during his time with you. Your feedback is important to maintaining our quality of service and we appreciate your understanding as we transition to new services.
Tri City Pool Services did an excellent job cleaning the tile on my pool. Rich communicated very well, showed up on time and made sure everything was clean before they left. I also had him replace a check value and he showed up when he said he was going to, charged a fair price and made sure everything was cleaned up. I definitely recommend them and will use them again when I need and pool services.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words, Sherry! We're absolutely thrilled to hear about your satisfying experience with our service and communication. Ensuring our customers' satisfaction is our ultimate goal. Your recommendation means a lot to us! Looking forward to serving you again.
Had the pleasure meeting Rich to blast the calcium crusted tiles on our pool and what a fantastic job well done. Very professional throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Tri City Pool Services for anything you need done. Oh also my Del AOP UV light unit failed and they were able to recommend a more efficient unit since the original unit was undersized from the start with a new unit and fixed the incorrect electrical done by Premier Pools & Spa.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your positive feedback, Brian! We're delighted to hear you had a great experience with Rich and were satisfied with our pool services. We always aim to recommend the most efficient solutions to our clients. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you in the future!

Response from the owner: We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with Rich, GianDominic! His professionalism and dedication certainly reflect in his work. Thank you for your review and for recognizing his efforts!
I am truly impressed. I called Tri City Pool Services after my pool pump stopped working. Tri City was recommended by the manufacturer and a local pool supply store. I described the symptoms to Dustin and he seemed very knowledgable about my pump. When he arrived, it took all of five minutes to repair, as he brought the (what he suspected as the most likely) replacement part with him. My pool pump is now working as new. Thank you Dustin and Tri City Pool Services!
Had a wonderful experience with tri city pools. On a Friday night, way after working hours they came to the rescue to put the program back to working on the spa. They are the best!
Response from the owner: Thank you, Barbara, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with Tri City Pools and that we were able to help you with your spa program even after working hours on a Friday night.

These guys are the best! They know the chemistry of the pool so well they don’t even use the chlorine tablets like other pool technicians. Pool always looks perfect! Thanks again you guys!! Go with the best since I tried the rest.
We would recommend Tri City Pools to anyone who is looking to take their pool care to the next level. Rich and Dustin at Tri City are professionals who truly care about providing their customers with the best service in Ventura country. Not only did they help us diagnose and fix our pools issues, they also provided diagnostic services when a third party contractor damaged our pool equipment. Rich and Dustin worked with us for weeks until a resolution was finally met and our equipment was fixed. Can not recommend their company enough and if anyone is looking for their pools to be maintained by the best, Tri City is the company to go with.
I've had three issues with my Hayward heater since it was installed and on every occasion I've been very impressed with the speed, thoroughness, and great customer service of TriCity Pool Service to get the problems resolved.Thank you for keeping the bar high and my hot tub in use!

We needed a warranty check and Dustin was in contact right away and made time the same day to come out. He identified a potential issue and was able to resolve and replace our salt cell. He went above and beyond adding salt for me and giving us great advice to help us get the most out of our Hayward system! Totally recommend Tri City!

Rich, and Tri City Pools are absolutely amazing. Truly night and day from the last pool service I used. Not only does Rich show up when he is supposed to, he monitors and fixes my equipment if needed. I had him install aqua link on my pool and he did a fantastic job. If I have questions, I can text him and get a responsive almost immediately, even on weekends. The system went down last weekend (memorial weekend) and I needed to hear the pool for a party. I text him, and he came over within an hour and fixed the issue. Couldn’t recommend Rich enough!

POOL FILTER CLEANING IN SIMI VALLEY

A swimming pool filter is an essential component of any pool, responsible for removing debris, dirt, and other contaminants from the water to keep it clean and clear. Over time, however, the filter can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its efficiency and potentially causing damage to the pool’s circulation system. Regular pool filter cleaning is necessary to ensure that the filter is functioning properly and maintaining a safe and healthy swimming environment.

There are three types of pool filters: sand, cartridge, and DE (diatomaceous earth). Each type of filter has its own unique maintenance requirements and cleaning methods.

Sand filters are the most common type of pool filter and are relatively easy to maintain. The filter consists of a tank filled with sand, which traps dirt and debris as the water passes through. Over time, the sand can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its efficiency and requiring the filter to be cleaned.

To clean a sand filter, the first step is to turn off the pump and release the pressure by opening the air release valve on the filter. Next, the filter should be backwashed, which involves reversing the flow of water through the filter to flush out the dirt and debris. The backwash process should continue until the water in the sight glass is clear and clean.

After backwashing, the next step is to rinse the filter, which involves running the water through the filter in the normal direction to settle the sand back into place. Once the filter is rinsed, the pump can be turned back on, and the filter should be ready for use.

Cartridge filters are another type of pool filter that requires regular cleaning. The filter consists of a cartridge made of pleated polyester, which traps dirt and debris as the water passes through. Over time, the cartridge can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its efficiency and requiring the filter to be cleaned.

To clean a cartridge filter, the first step is to turn off the pump and remove the cartridge from the filter. The cartridge should then be hosed down with a high-pressure hose to remove any dirt and debris. If the cartridge is very dirty, it can be soaked in a filter cleaner solution to help remove stubborn dirt and debris.

Once the cartridge has been cleaned, it should be rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry before being reinstalled in the filter. It is important to note that cartridges have a lifespan and should be replaced when they become too worn or damaged.

DE (diatomaceous earth) filters are the most complex type of pool filter and require the most maintenance. The filter consists of a tank filled with a powder made from fossilized diatoms, which traps dirt and debris as the water passes through. Over time, the powder can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its efficiency and requiring the filter to be cleaned.

To clean a DE filter, the first step is to turn off the pump and release the pressure by opening the air release valve on the filter. Next, the filter should be backwashed, which involves reversing the flow of water through the filter to flush out the dirt and debris.

After backwashing, the next step is to recharge the filter with fresh DE powder. This involves adding the powder to the skimmer, which then distributes the powder evenly throughout the filter. Once the filter is recharged, the pump can be turned back on, and the filter should be ready for use.

In addition to regular cleaning, it is also important to maintain the proper water chemistry in your pool to prevent the filter from becoming clogged with dirt and debris. Water that is too acidic or alkaline can cause the filter to become clogged, reducing its efficiency and requiring more frequent cleaning.
