Pool Opening in Ajax, ON
When the warm weather comes back around after a long winter, pool owners want to throw back winter covers and hop on in but it isn’t that simple! After months of sitting idle your pool water is likely looking more like a swamp than a safe place to swim in. Restoring pool condition after months of sitting idle is tough but calling Puddle for your Ajax pool opening gets the job done right.
Proper spring pool care can set the stage for a successful swim season but an amateur approach can lead to damage, as well as health risks and shortened lifespans of pool equipment. When you want to make the most out of the swim season, don’t waste time on trial and error when you can call Puddle for reliable, affordable and efficient pool openings.
What Makes a Proper Pool Opening So Important?
After months of sitting idle, it’ll take more than a shock treatment to restore water condition so it is safe for use. Pulling back a pool cover in spring often means coming face to face with cloudy water, a ton of built up debris, algae blooms, discoloured water and foul smells. This doesn’t just create poor visuals, it has a negative impact on overall condition and is a serious risk to health and safety.
When you want to clean your pool for the swim season, it is important to break the process down into multiple steps to ensure that you are getting the right results. The opening process involves in-depth water treatments, debris removal, balancing, testing and a whole lot of scrubbing. Anyone can test the water in their pool with a simple kit but there is a big difference between having to clean your pool and having to open it.
After months of sitting idle your pool water is probably cloudy, green or full of algae. Shocking water might provide a superficial improvement but restoring water to a sanitary state means balancing the chlorine level, pH levels, alkalinity and calcium. Stepping foot into contaminated water can have serious consequences ranging from skin irritations, eye and/or ear infections, digestive illness and even e-coli poisoning in severe cases.
Swimming pools are built to be durable but they aren’t invincible and they definitely can’t stand up to an Ontario winter without a bit of help. Following the off-season it is important to inspect important components that keep your water clean and flowing, like the pump and filter.
Professional Pool Opening Services: The Best Way to Open Your Pool
In order to get the best results for our clients, Puddle Pros provide full service pool openings and it all starts with refilling the water level. Once water levels are topped up, we remove any debris from water surfaces, the bottom of the pool and from inside the skimmer basket. From there, our technicians apply a multi-step chemical treatment that restores water chemistry, over the period of 2 days. Our experienced technicians also review the condition of the pool filter and other components to ensure that your systems are working exactly as they should.
With options to book online and over the phone you can book your pool opening 24 hours day. Make the most out of the swim season with efficient and affordable pool services.
Ajax Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Clear access to the pool and the equipment and move anything stored on or against the cover. Make sure the power supply to the pump and heater is on. If you know something went wrong last season or over the winter, mention it when booking rather than at the visit.
What happens to my winter cover?
It is removed carefully, cleaned and folded so it is preserved properly for next winter.
Why does the water look green or cloudy when the cover comes off?
Water that has sat under a cover all winter often has some algae and debris in it, even after a good closing. The opening shock and balancing start clearing it, and the filtration finishes the job over the following days.
Will I get a report after the opening?
Yes. You receive a digital report showing your equipment is running, with photos and the initial water readings.
When should a pool be opened for the season?
Earlier than most people expect. Once daytime temperatures rise consistently, algae starts growing under the cover whether the pool is open or not, and a pool opened after that has begun is more work to clear than one opened before. Opening before you intend to swim also leaves time to deal with anything the winter has damaged.
Just had a visit from George from Puddle Pool Services and was so grateful for his approach, communication and suggestions for maintenance. It wasn't a easy job in accessing the panel and he was gracious in taking the necessary steps and putting everything back in place. The next day check in to make sure everything is working well is just a superior customer service. Thank you again.
