November Is “Filter Refresh Month” Here’s Why Your Austin Pool Needs It
November in Austin brings cooler temps, falling leaves, and the first real break from the Texas heat. While most homeowners are thinking about Thanksgiving prep or holiday decorations, your pool is quietly transitioning into its off-season. And there’s one thing it needs more than anything else this month:
A Filter Refresh.
Your pool filter has worked HARD all summer long, sunscreen, dust, pollen, heavy usage, thunderstorms, pets, you name it. By the time fall rolls around, even the best-maintained filters are tired.
That’s why November is the ideal time to give your pool’s filtration system a fresh start before winter settles in.
Why November Matters for Your Pool Filter
1. Austin’s Fall Leaves Clog Everything
Oak, cedar, pecan, ash — Austin’s leaves don’t play around. When they start dropping, your filter becomes the first line of defense. A clean filter keeps circulation strong and prevents cloudy water.
2. Your Filter Is Recovering From Summer Stress
High heat + heavy swimming = a filter that’s packed with debris. November is the calm after the storm, making it the perfect time to deep clean or replace worn-out parts.
3. Cooler Water Needs Less Filtration — If the Filter Is Clean
As temperatures drop, your pool doesn’t need long run times… but only if your filter is performing properly.
A refreshed filter can save you money on electricity all winter long.
4. Helps Prevent Winter Algae Blooms
Yes, algae can still grow in winter — especially after warm November days.
A clean filter removes microscopic contaminants before they become a problem.
5. Sets You Up for a Smooth Spring Start
The work you do in November = less work (and less money spent) when spring returns.
A refreshed filter gives you a head start on a beautiful pool for 2026.
