One price.
Every filter.
Every visit.
We run one service and we charge one price. No tiers, no memberships, no “preferred customer” discount you have to ask for. If you ever pay more than $75 for a standard filter clean, it’s because something out of the ordinary happened — and we asked you first.
Where the other
$125 goes.
Full-service pool companies price a filter clean as part of a bigger contract — weekly chemicals, parts inventory, two-person trucks. That overhead has to land somewhere. It lands on a $150–$200 filter clean.
One service, one truck, one technician.

No. It is what filter cleaning actually costs when the business has no overhead beyond one truck, one technician, and one service. The reasons are structural, not promotional. The price you book at is the price on the invoice.
Why are you cheaper than my current pool company?
Your current company bundles filter cleaning into a monthly service plan that also covers chemistry, brushing, vacuuming, and office staff. We have only one line item, so we have to be honest about its cost.
Do you upcharge for DE filters?
No. Cartridge, DE, and sand are all $75. DE takes us longer; it does not cost you more. The flat-rate model means we eat the variance and you do not have to do mental math when you book.
Are there any add-on costs?
Two scenarios where parts cost you separately: a replacement o-ring kit if your gauge or air bleed is leaking, and a sand bed media swap if your sand has channeled. Both are at our cost with no markup.
