Barrie Pool Opening Service

Everyone wants to kick the swimming season off with a bang and there is no better way to do that than diving into a freshly cleaned pool. As eager as you might be to backstroke into spring, swimming pools will need in-depth cleaning before anyone sets foot in your water. Calling a professional for your Barrie pool opening service means starting off the season with a sanitary system, crystal clear water and prolonged lifespan of your swimming pool.

Spring pool care requires more than pulling back a pool cover and spraying down surrounding areas with a garden hose. After months of disuse, pool water is likely experiencing contaminants, as well as a cloudy or discoloured look. This is a problem not only for visual appeal but is a question of health and safety as well. Expert pool services are able to create clean and sanitary swim spaces while protecting the overall condition of both in-ground and above ground pools.

The Best Way to Open Your Pool

When you want the best results for a pool opening, you have to understand a pool closing as well. Shutting down a swim space for the fall/winter season means caring for pool equipment like drain plugs, as well as dropping water levels and installing a winter cover. Even with a secured winter cover, debris finds a way to get inside. When you remove the cover in spring, it is not uncommon to be confronted with a buildup of debris that demands that you skim, scrub and vacuum the pool from top to bottom.

Removing the debris that has built up over the season is key to restoring water balance. It is easy to turn on an automatic cleaner or pool vacuum but these tools are not designed or able to reach into complex areas, like hard angles or stairs. This creates areas where bacteria and residue can take hold and grow, creating contaminants.

Getting a swim space ready for use means a multi-part treatment process that caters to pool water, structures and the internal mechanisms that keep things flowing. Anyone can put basic testing kits to use and while these are great for standard cleanings, they are not enough for an opening. In addition to monitoring the chlorine level, pH level and total alkalinity, algaecides might be in order following a long period of sitting stagnant.

The winter season can have a huge impact on the structural integrity of pool structures, as well as internal components like a pool pump, filter, motor or more. With a trained eye, visual inspections can point out issues before they become disasters. A small tear in a vinyl liner can be patched but as they get worse, it might lead to the need for a full replacement. Inspecting everything from a pool filter to motor and other internal components, trained technicians can help to track down issues and solve these problems before they become worse.
