I think you need to replace "del writer" with "Delete(writer)".
ParaView has a proxy manager that keeps all proxies. Proxies will not be deleted when the python reference is deleted, you must explicitly call paraview.simple.Delete(). The return value of CreateWriter is a proxy, so it must be Delete()'d. +1 for Dave's suggestion, build the pipeline and writer before the loop.
