When sand or DE filters stop performing—even after backwashing—the problem is usually deep, compacted buildup trapped inside the media. The Poolife Backwash Filter Cleaner is a specialized solution designed to clean filters from the inside out, restoring flow, reducing pressure, and improving overall filtration efficiency.

Unlike standard filter cleaners that require disassembly or soaking, this formula works through the backwash cycle, making it one of the easiest and most effective ways to maintain sand and DE filters without downtime.

Cleans Filters During the Backwash Cycle

Over time, sand and DE filters accumulate:

• Oils and lotions

• Organic debris

• Fine particles that harden into channels

• Scale and mineral residue

Poolife Backwash Filter Cleaner is added directly to the filter system and circulated before backwashing. As water reverses through the filter, the cleaner breaks down buildup and flushes contaminants out—restoring proper filtration without removing media.

Restores Flow, Reduces Pressure, Improves Clarity

A clogged filter forces your pump to work harder and reduces circulation. Using Poolife Backwash Filter Cleaner helps:

• Lower high filter pressure

• Restore normal water flow

• Improve filtration efficiency

• Reduce cloudy or dull water

• Extend the life of sand and DE media

Cleaner filters mean better circulation and more effective sanitation throughout the pool.

Designed Specifically for Sand & DE Filters

This product is formulated exclusively for sand and DE filters, where backwashing is the primary cleaning method. It is ideal for:

• Routine preventative maintenance

• Seasonal startup or shutdown

• Filters that backwash but still show high pressure

It is not intended for cartridge filters, which require soaking-based cleaners instead.

Easy Maintenance with No Filter Disassembly

One of the biggest advantages of Poolife Backwash Filter Cleaner is convenience. There’s no need to open the filter tank or remove media. Simply follow label directions to circulate the cleaner, then backwash as normal.

This makes it perfect for:

• Busy pool owners

• Weekly service routes

• Pools with frequent debris load
