Pool Maintenance for Ancaster Pool Owners
Don’t let winter catch you unawares! You might feel a new season creeping up, but in order to protect your pool, it is important to act quickly. As soon as pipes begin to freeze, it spells nothing but trouble for your pool and spa. Instead of waiting until the last minute, call a Puddle Pool Pro for your Ancaster seasonal pool maintenance.
The goal of seasonal pool care is to protect your system over long periods of disuse and to ensure your water feature is safe and usable when you are ready to fire it back up in warmer weather. The right technique can help to not only improve the look and function of your pool but can help to prolong the lifespan of your materials as well. Avoid unnecessary damage and get the full enjoyment out of your pool by calling a Puddle expert today.
Seasonal Pool Care: The Importance of a Multi-Step Program
No matter where you live in Canada, you can expect ice in winter, in fact, we are known for it! Some things are branded as seasonal items, such as a winter cover but just using these tools is not enough to protect your system. When you want the best results, even the smallest detail can have a far reaching impact. Forgetting to blow out the lines from circulation systems, check return jets, or adjust water levels according to season, can have a negative impact on the key components of your filtration system.
Each swimming pool is created differently and should be treated with its own unique treatment plan, but at their core, they need the same level of care and type of practices. For example, there are additional steps when dealing with a sand filter compared to a cartridge filter, as well as cleaning a pool wall that is tile instead of vinyl. Keeping your pool clean means having a deep understanding of how to treat each of these materials, but the good news is: we know it all!
Pool Opening: It is possible to open up a pool as early as May (if you don’t mind heating it, or taking a cold dip!). If you are hoping to get your pool up and running, it means more than pulling back a pool cover and jumping in. One of the most important aspects of your system is the pool water, but water is impacted by a wide variety of factors. Refilling a tub after a long period of inactivity is not enough to ensure it is clean. If a pool wall is covered in bacteria or algae, applying a shock treatment is not enough to counter-act whatever is still floating around. In addition to testing pumps and filters, our pool experts clean interior areas, setting the stage for perfectly treated water, and a clean and inviting space.
Pool Closing: As water freezes and thaws, it causes expansion and contraction. This is fine when it is just sitting out in the open, but inside a pipe, this can lead to weakening and breakage, like cracking. In addition to prepping water and mechanisms, it is important to remove any floating items, like skimmer baskets and clean off sitting equipment like diving boards, slides and removing pool vacuums.
Puddle Pool Services: Great Results, Done Safely
Taking an amateur approach to seasonal pool care might seem to cut costs in the moment, but that is nothing compared to the cost of repairs and replacements that will need to happen over time. Calling in professional care, however, helps to remove stain and scale, provide clean water and reduces the risk of RWIs. Recreational water illnesses can be anything from an ear infection and eye irritation, to digestive issues and e-coli poisoning.
Expert care is important to protect yourself and your family, but it is also important for communal pool areas and those swim features found in hotels, and swim centres, both indoors and out. As a business, a contaminated pool can lead to a drop in reputation and even liability issues. Avoid any of the negatives, while having a positive experience with Puddle Pools.
Each member of the Puddle team is fully insured and ready to service properties safely. With the right tools at our disposal and years of industry experience, no one treats your property better than our team of experts. With options available for recurring services or a one-time call out, there is never a bad time to call for a free quote.
Ancaster Pool Maintenance: 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 do I drain my pool in Ancaster?
Hamilton's Sewer Use By-law No. 14-090 bans chlorine, salt and other pool additives in sanitary, combined or storm sewers. The City says to stop adding chemicals two weeks before emptying, avoid rainy days and let water out slowly onto your own property without it flowing toward the home or a neighbour. An on site sanitary connection such as a laundry tub is the other option, and salt water may also go to an approved hauler.
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.
What does a maintenance visit check besides the water?
The filter and its pressure, the pump and its baskets, visible plumbing and valves plus the condition of the liner or surface, covers and fittings. The point is to spot wear early, while it is still a small fix.
Can maintenance include my hot tub as well?
Yes. Hot tubs need the same attention to chemistry, filters and equipment as a pool, often more frequently because of the small volume and high temperature, so it makes sense to look after both on the same plan.
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!
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great pool company!!! Great drivers too! Thanks puddle pools!
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!
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!!
Going through my first season with a pool has definitely felt a bit overwhelming at times. I was referred to Puddle Pools Services and the knowledge and professionalism from their team has been top notch. Really appreciate how quick they are when responding to all my questions. I've had the pleasure of working with their team on two occasions and have been more than satisfied each time!
