Serving Lexington & Central Kentucky

At H2O Designs, we understand that not every pond requires a full-blown cleanout to stay in top shape. Our Pond Filter Cleaning Service is the perfect alternative to a complete pond cleanout, giving your water feature the refresh it needs without the hassle of draining and pressure washing.
This service is ideal for pond owners who have already performed a Fall pond cleanout or for those with a low fish load, where debris and sludge buildup are minimal. By cleaning your filtration system, we help your pond get off to a great start for the season while maintaining a balanced, healthy ecosystem.
Benefits of Pond Filter Cleaning
- Avoid Unnecessary Full Cleanouts – If your pond isn’t excessively dirty, a filter cleaning can restore water clarity and improve system efficiency without draining the entire pond.
- Improved Water Quality – A clean filter ensures better water circulation and filtration, reducing algae buildup and maintaining healthier conditions for your fish and plants.
- Seasonal Maintenance Solution – A great option for those who have already done a Fall cleanout but want to start Spring with fresh, clean filtration.
- Cost-Effective Alternative – Save time and money by targeting the essential filtration components instead of a full pond overhaul.
- Supports a Balanced Ecosystem – Proper filtration helps keep beneficial bacteria thriving while removing unwanted debris and waste.


What’s Included in Our Pond Filter Cleaning Service?
- Thorough Cleaning of Filters & Media – We remove, rinse, and inspect your skimmer, biofalls, and mechanical filtration to ensure they are functioning efficiently.
- Pump & Skimmer Inspection – We check for clogs, damage, or inefficiencies that may affect water circulation.
- UV Clarifier Check (if applicable) – If your pond has a UV clarifier, we’ll inspect and clean it to optimize performance.
- Water Quality Check & Adjustments – We’ll assess your water conditions and recommend beneficial water treatments if needed.
- Minor Debris Removal – While not a full cleanout, we remove excess leaves and sludge that could impact filter performance.
Is Pond Filter Cleaning Right for You?
This service is best suited for:
- Pond owners who performed a Fall pond cleanout and want a lighter Spring maintenance option.
- Ponds with low fish loads, where waste buildup is minimal but filtration still needs attention.
- Water features that aren’t experiencing major water clarity issues but could benefit from optimized filtration.
If your pond has excessive sludge, algae, or water quality issues, you may need our Full Pond Cleanout Service instead. Our team can assess your pond and recommend the best solution!
