Owning a pool in Louisiana is a luxury and a responsibility. Between the sweltering summers, unpredictable storms, and near year-round use,proper pool maintenance becomes non-negotiable. One essential but often overlooked task is backwashing your pool filter. If you're a Louisiana pool owner, understanding why and how to backwash could save you time, money, and future frustration.
