    Pool Cleaning in Ancaster, ON

    Nothing goes together better than a swimming pool and summer. When the temperatures begin to rise, nothing beats the heat like a few laps around a pool and this is true at home, or in a communal environment. As great as these water features are to have around, they can be a real pain to take care of. Instead of struggling to keep up with cleaning, call a Puddle Pro for your Ancaster pool cleaning services.

    With so many types of pool on the market, it can be difficult to know exactly what yours needs. From salt water models to indoor and outdoor care, there is a ton of knowledge necessary to take care of your system, but our technicians can help! From single family homes to swim centres and even hotels and apartment complexes, pool maintenance is a must - so don’t fall behind!

    Pool Care: A Matter of Safety

    Flipping the switch on a robotic pool cleaner can help to remove sunken debris from the pool floor but it does not do much for the overall condition of your water or structures. Vacuuming the pool removes visible debris, which can make you think it is clean but consider the areas that a vacuum head cannot reach. Vulnerable areas like corners and seams can collect dirt and bacteria, leading to discolouration and health hazards.

    Murky water is unappealing but it can also be dangerous to your health. Discoloured water is a sign of contamination, but a basic testing kit is not always enough to pinpoint the problem areas. Imbalanced pH levels or a lack of sanitizers can take water from crystal clear, to teal, to a murky green. Without sanitizers at play, bacteria has a chance to thrive and build, which can lead to RWIs, or Recreation Water Illnesses. These RWIs can be swimmer’s ear, an eye infection or more serious issues, such as digestive illness or e-coli poisoning.

    If debris is not removed from water surfaces, it can quickly back up, clogging up your filtration system and putting added strain on your pool pump. Pumps are a key aspect of circulation, and help to disperse chemicals throughout water features Despite being so important, these key sections are often overlooked during cleaning. Regular inspection can help to keep your system running smoothly and keep swimmers safe.

    In the same way that cleaning water is extremely important, so is maintaining pool equipment, as well as the structure itself. Every person and piece of equipment that enters your system leaves something behind. Scrubbing sides, floors and stairs is great but failing to check on diving boards, slides, pool toys and even floating skimmer baskets will just reintroduce bacteria into previously clean areas.

    Choosing Professional Pool Services

    Instead of leaning on an automatic pool cleaner, look to a more personal approach, like the one at Puddle Pools. Our highly trained experts have years of industry experience under our belts, there is nothing that our Puddle crews can’t handle. An amateur approach to caring for your pool filter can lead to unexpected damage or subpar results. Instead of worrying about one wrong move, let our specialists throw back those safety covers and get to work!

    One call to Puddle Pools can help to improve pool circulation, with a quick backwash of your filter, proper inspection and a thorough process of your pools opening and closing. Our experts don’t stop at pools but offer services for hot tubs and spas as well. Call today for a free quote.

    Ancaster Pool Cleaning: Frequently Asked Questions

    Is Ancaster on lake water for filling a pool?

    Hamilton Water's Woodward subsystem, drawing from Lake Ontario, serves Ancaster along with Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Dundas, Waterdown and Glanbrook. The City describes that water as medium hard at about 120 mg/L as calcium carbonate, about 8.4 grains per imperial gallon (about 7.0 per US gallon). Rural properties on private wells are not covered, so test well water before balancing a pool.

    How stormy are Ancaster summers?

    Hamilton Airport normals show about 27.6 thunderstorm days a year and a July mean daily maximum of 26.6 C. A cleaning visit after a storm can clear debris and recheck chemistry.

    When should I open and close my pool in Ancaster?

    Environment and Climate Change Canada normals for Ancaster put the average last spring frost on April 30 and the average first fall frost on October 15. Ontario pool guidance points to opening between late April and mid May and closing between mid September and mid October once water stays below about 15 C. Ancaster's lakeshore summers are mild, with only about 4.2 days a year above 30 C.

    What is included in a pool cleaning visit?

    A standard visit covers the water, the surfaces and the equipment: skimming debris from the surface, brushing walls and steps, vacuuming the floor, emptying skimmer and pump baskets, checking the filter and testing and balancing the water chemistry. Doing all of it on one visit matters because these jobs undo each other if they are done separately.

    Do I need to be home during the service?

    No. As long as the technician can reach the pool and the equipment, service is usually carried out while nobody is home, which is how most regular customers prefer it. Arrange access to gates or side entrances in advance, and let us know about pets, alarms or anything else on the route to the pool.

    Bri and her team have been taking care of our hot tub for years now. They are absolutely the best! Communicating with Bri is very easy and she responds immediately. She always tells me of any changes to their schedule and are always on time. She has also repeatedly tried to teach me how to balance our tub myself but unfortunately I’m hopeless. I highly recommend this team for you pool and hot tub needs.

    Annette Chapman ★★★★★

    This is our first year using this pool service and it was outstanding. Our technician was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and their service was far more superior than our other provider. Our services included biweekly maintenance and pool closing. Can’t wait for next year to schedule pool opening. Well Done!!!!!

    Bree ★★★★★

    TJ and Bri were awesome! We reached out asking about a new heater and TJ responded right away with options. He was knowledgeable and on time when they came to hook up the new heater. They also scrapped our old one for us. Great experience and would use them again for any pool needs.

    Mary Burrows ★★★★★

    Started using Puddle Pools last year and they are very professional, always on time and their team is great. Not just for opening or closing but also repairs. Highly recommend!

    Lindsay Schenk ★★★★★

    We recently hired Puddles Pool Services to complete a pool inspection for our buyers during a real estate transaction, and they were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Despite a very tight timeline, TJ and Mark were able to accommodate our request and fit us into their schedule, which was greatly appreciated. They arrived on time, were professional and efficient, and conducted a thorough inspection of the pool and equipment. Their communication was excellent, and they provided the information we needed promptly, helping to keep the transaction moving smoothly. It's clear they take pride in their work and value their clients. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of a pool inspection and will definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you for the exceptional service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Professionals from start to finish. I've used a few different pool services over the years and there is no comparison to TJ and his team. I had them perform a comprehensive leak detection and followed that up with a leak repair. Their expertise, top of the line equipment, and friendliness made the entire experience quick and easy. They keep you informed all the way through the process and in terms of value for dollar, they can't be beat. I wish I could give six stars!

    Tina Riddles ★★★★★

    TJ and his team go above and beyond opening and closing our pool. Exceptional service! We have had other pool companies in the past but nothing compares to Puddle Pools. I would definitely recommend them!!
