Abbotsford Seasonal Pool Maintenance

A dreary winter can seem to last forever and that is why pool owners want to open up at the first sign of sun. While you may want to dive on in, it is important to have a clean water feature first. Calling a Puddle pool specialist for your Abbotsford seasonal pool maintenance means being able to keep your pool and spa in great condition, no matter the time of year. 

What Does a Pool Opening Mean for You 

Winter weather might keep people inside for the season but pools are often left out in the cold. Instead of just pulling a pool cover across surfaces, both in-ground and above ground pools and hot tubs require a multi-step approach to get the right results. 

Over the course of winter, covers become littered with debris, so it is important to clear away surrounding areas before making the issue worse! A proper closing means dropping water levels to avoid damage during frigid temperatures. In addition to refilling these structures, shock treatments should be applied and sides should be scrubbed free of any algae growth that may have formed while closed. 

The Ins and Outs of Pool Closing 

As the last days of summer months wind down, it is important to consider closing down your swimming pool. Many pool owners try to do this all at once, but slow and steady wins the race! A complete closing is a process, from skimming and scrubbing to drainage and managing water chemistry. 

It is easy to focus on pool walls, water balancing and the surrounding area but proper pool care means managing everything that enters your system. From ladder to skimmer baskets and filters, it is important to inspect everything that sits or floats underneath that water line. Failing to give one final shock of sanitizers can mean algae formation when you reopen in the summer – and no one wants to deal with that! 

Prepping a pool for the winter means chemical balancing, elbow grease and scrubbing. Even for smaller areas these practices can take up an entire afternoon, never mind a large area – or multiple water features! Instead of struggling to keep up with pool services for around your home, communal area or even commercial space, have a professional handle your treatments. 

Choosing Professional Pool Cleaning

Part of what makes pool maintenance so difficult are the elements and no one knows that better than Abbotsford residents. A simple wind or rain storm can knock organics from surrounding trees and let them fall into your pool system. After a long period of sitting, even trying to remove the cover of your pool can deposit a ton of unwanted items into your water, effecting filters and causing big problems. 

A change in season brings along a ton of necessary tasks for both the interior and exterior of your property and pools only add to this. Free some time up in your schedule by having professional services handle these changes of the season.
