The right filter and pump system is the difference between crystal-clear water with low energy bills and a constant maintenance headache. Westside Pools installs and upgrades DE filters, variable speed pumps, heaters, salt chlorine generators, and automation systems for inground pools throughout Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana. We only install best-in-class equipment because the wrong gear costs you for years.

DE Pool Filters — The Gold Standard

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filters are the best residential pool filter you can install. They trap particles down to 2–5 microns — finer than cartridge filters (10–20 microns) and dramatically finer than sand filters (20–40 microns). The result is noticeably clearer water, less chemical use, and less time scrubbing your pool. For homeowners who want the cleanest possible water with minimal effort, DE is the only answer.

Variable Speed Pumps

A variable speed pump is the single biggest energy upgrade you can make to an existing pool. Compared to a single-speed pump, a variable speed model can cut your pool’s electric bill by 50–80% and runs dramatically quieter. They’ve been required by federal energy standards since 2021, and most older Cincinnati pools are still running outdated single-speed pumps that are bleeding money every month. Upgrading typically pays for itself in 2–3 swim seasons.

Pool Heaters

Extend your swim season by weeks on either end with a properly sized pool heater. We install natural gas heaters for fast heat-up and heat pumps for lower operating costs over a full season. We’ll size the unit correctly based on your pool’s volume, surface area, and how you actually plan to use it.

Salt Chlorine Generators

Convert your pool to saltwater and stop hauling chlorine jugs. A salt chlorine generator automatically produces sanitizer from a low concentration of pool-grade salt, giving you softer water, no chlorine smell, and easier weekly maintenance. We install and convert pools across Greater Cincinnati and NKY.

Smart Pool Automation

Control your pump, heater, lights, water features, and salt system from your phone. Pool automation lets you preheat the pool on your way home from work, run the pump on a custom schedule, and monitor chemistry without leaving the house.

New Pool Builds & Existing Pool Upgrades

We spec equipment for every new pool we build, and we upgrade existing inground pools across the tri-state. If your pool is more than 10 years old, there’s a good chance the right equipment upgrade will pay for itself in energy savings, cleaner water, and lower chemical costs — often within a few seasons.

Service Area

We install and service pool equipment throughout Greater Cincinnati and the tri-state, including Mason, West Chester, Indian Hill, Hyde Park, Blue Ash, Mariemont, Madeira, Montgomery, Kenwood, Amberley Village, Wyoming, Green Township, Cleves, Bridgetown, and across Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana.
