    Abbotsford Pool Opening, Step by Step

    As temperatures warm and swim season is in sight, property owners are keen to throw back safety covers and put pools to use. Unlike natural water sources, pools need a multi-step approach to open up for the spring/summer season. Missing one element of an opening can result in a ripple effect through your system, which can cause damage and safety issues for swimmers. Instead of taking a risk, call a Puddle Pro for your Abbotsford pool opening.

    Even with a secured safety cover, debris will find its way into your system over the course of the cold season. Sitting debris can cause staining to your pool liner or can result in a clogged pump and filter. A professional service can treat everything from pool water, to filter changes, seasonal care and beyond.

    Expert Pool Openings: Protect Your Liner & Equipment

    Seasonal pool maintenance goes both ways. What happens in winter must be reversed when the weather gets warm again. During fall, many pool owners opt to winterize drain plugs, drop water levels, apply chemicals and swap out a mesh pool cover for a solid one. Undoing all of these requires technical knowledge, experience and the right tools to get the job done.

    It is easy to be distracted by the condition of your pool water or obvious debris, but there is more going on behind the scenes of your water systems than meets the eye. Whether operating an in-ground pool or an above ground model, the circulation system is the heart and soul of your water system. Without circulation, pool chemicals can’t be carried throughout the entire pool. In order to avoid contamination it is important to make sure that these are working at full capacity but this is tough without the necessary technical knowledge.

    Removing debris is a huge aspect of proper pool cleaning both throughout the swim season and at the beginning. When the cover is pulled back it is important to skim surface debris and vacuum the pool to avoid staining and prevent bacteria from building. Any items that are sitting against pool vinyl liners can cause permanent staining or even damage, leading to the need for costly liner replacements.

    You might be able to refill dropped water levels with a basic garden hose but when you want to open your pool the right way, trust an expert. Puddle technicians provide a multi-step approach to pool care that addresses water condition and chemical treatments, but also provides visual inspections from a trained eye that can point out potential issues before they turn into disasters. Eliminate algae growth, create a sanitary swim space and keep your water system in great shape with a bit of help from a Pool Pro.

    Abbotsford Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I fill a new in ground pool in Abbotsford before the fence is approved?

    No. Under Bylaw No. 375-97, in ground pools need a building permit and the fence must be inspected and approved before the pool is filled. The bylaw also requires a 1.2 m walkway around the pool. Plan inspections with the City before scheduling a fill after a build or liner job.

    Do Abbotsford pools face both heat and freeze risk?

    Yes. Environment and Climate Change Canada 1991 to 2020 normals for Abbotsford International Airport show a January mean daily minimum of about 0.6°C and about 56 cm of snow a year, yet the station record high is 42.9°C on June 28, 2021. Summer heat spikes raise chlorine demand and evaporation, while winter freezes make proper winterizing important.

    Which Abbotsford neighborhoods do you cover?

    We look after pools across Abbotsford, including Clearbrook, Abbotsford, Sumas, Sardis, Promontory and Chilliwack. The full list of areas is on our Abbotsford page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.

    What happens during a pool opening?

    The cover comes off and is cleaned and stored, winter plugs are removed and the equipment is reassembled and restarted. The water level is brought up and the system is run while the water is tested and balanced. Any damage found from the winter is reported at that point rather than discovered mid season.

    Will the water be swimmable the same day?

    Usually not immediately. Even a well closed pool needs the filtration running and the chemistry corrected before it is ready, and water that has sat all winter takes time to clear. Opening earlier in the season is what gives that process time to happen without cutting into swimming.

    Amazing service every time. We have our in ground pool & hot tub cared for by Puddle Pools. A detailed report is provided with every service. They’ve also replaced our pool liner and other fixes along the way. Excellent team of experts.

    Rob Siemens ★★★★★

    I called Puddle Pools to replace my circulation pump after calling around for other quotes and was told by another company that it would take five days to get the part that I needed. I didn’t want my pool sitting idle, especially in summer heat without circulation, so Rav came on his day off to get it done. He was super professional and very friendly as well. Awesome service. I will definitely use them for my pool stuff going forward. Thanks 😊

    Stephanie Hatchard ★★★★★

    I had a great experience with Puddle Pools for an above-ground pool liner replacement. The service was high-quality, affordable, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure I was completely satisfied with the final installation. Rav, the owner, was fantastic to work with. He is professional, reasonable, and clearly very knowledgeable about his craft. It’s hard to find reliable service like this, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for pool maintenance or repairs! Thanks again Rav!
