Why Poolife Backwash Filter Cleaner is a Must-Have

Go Beyond the Basics

Backwashing alone can’t remove built-up oils, lotions, sunscreen, body waste, and fine debris that accumulate deep inside your sand or DE filter media. This concentrated cleaner breaks down those contaminants, restoring filtration efficiency without dismantling your equipment.

Restore Flow and Lower Pressure

A clogged filter means reduced flow and higher pressure, which places extra stress on your pump and circulation system. Poolife Backwash Filter Cleaner works to reduce filter pressure and increase water flow, saving energy and extending the life of your pool equipment.

Enhance Water Clarity

Clean filters trap more debris, which means visibly cleaner water. After treatment, you’ll notice improved water sparkle, clarity, and a more responsive system that better manages chlorine levels, water balancers, and pool chemicals.

Safe for Sand and DE Filters

This formula is specially engineered for sand and diatomaceous earth (DE) filters. It won’t damage your filter media or tank and can be used monthly as a preventive measure—or anytime your system shows signs of reduced performance.
