Burnaby Pool Closing, Step by Step
During the swim season, swimming pools get a lot of attention but as fall comes around pool care and cleaning tend to fall by the wayside. There is never a good time to lose focus on your pool but it is particularly problematic during fall. As temperatures drop, it is time to start thinking about your winter maintenance routine. Professional Burnaby pool closing services protect swim spaces from the cold weather, reducing the risk of unexpected damage and providing peace of mind to property owners.
Anyone can grab a basic testing kit and throw in a couple chlorine pucks but seasonal pool maintenance is a complex process. Prepping your pool for winter means focusing not only on water chemistry, but on everything from structures, pool liners, internal components, equipment and more. Missing just one step in the closing process can have a ripple effect through your water system and mean potential damage in spring.
How to Close Your Pool: A Multi-Step Approach
The best way to care for a swimming pool is from the ground, up. A quick application of pool chemicals might be enough to improve the visuals of your swim space but these won’t last long without a functional circulation system and pool filter. Luckily, our team of Puddle technicians have created a step-by-step process that addresses all aspects of your swimming pool.
Pool Water: During the swim season, keeping an eye on water balance is a no-brainer. As traffic drops, there is a good chance that chemical applications are not as regular as they should be. When closing down for the winter, a preventative chemical treatment can help to reduce the risk of algae growth by getting rid of any contaminants that might be in your water before closure.
Equipment & Mechanisms: It would take prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures to freeze an entire pool basin but small amounts of water will freeze in no time at all. If there is water sitting inside plumbing lines or around the pool pump and motor, it will freeze and cause damage. Certain types of damage are easy to overlook as plastic becomes brittle and cracks, but as water freezes, it expand and can cause pipes to burst. Dropping water levels and winterizing drain plugs helps to keep water from seeping into sensitive areas.
Ditch Debris & Clean Filters: If there is debris sitting inside skimmer baskets, it will rot over time. This means bacteria and contaminants are sitting there with it. It is also a good idea to empty skimmer baskets and inspect cartridge filters and clean them, if necessary. In the case of a sand filter, it is important to monitor pressure gauges so sand can be replaced as necessary.
By creating customized treatment plans according to the unique needs of your water systems and pool types, our Puddle Pros can help to keep your swim space in great shape, all year long.
Puddle Pool Services: The Best in Fall Pool Care
Puddle technicians are committed to caring for swimming pools throughout the Burnaby area all year long. While many pool owners choose to close their pools over the winter, this is not your only option. Mild winters make it possible to choose reduced service options through the cold season, providing bi-weekly cleanings and water testing. Having an expert service your water system throughout the winter means you are always up to date on condition and this makes opening your pool in a spring a breeze.
Each member of the team is local to your area, so we understand the obstacles that come along with an unpredictable climate. Instead of struggling with trial and error or giving up your leisure time to seasonal pool maintenance, call an expert for your Burnaby pool closing needs.
Burnaby Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
Where must pool drain and backwash lines go in Burnaby?
The City's Swimming Pools building information guide requires all pool drain and backwash lines to discharge to a 600 mm sump connected to a combined or sanitary sewer or to a 75 mm vented trap and standpipe connected to the plumbing system. An approved backflow preventer is also required on the potable supply. Confirm with the City before draining or changing plumbing.
When should I close my pool in Burnaby?
A Lower Mainland pool company that lists Burnaby in its service area recommends closing residential pools late September to mid October, once the water stays below about 15°C. The City describes its own outdoor pools as open late spring through summer. A closing visit cleans, balances and winterizes the pool before the wet season.
Is there freeze risk for pools in Burnaby?
Yes, especially at higher elevations. Environment Canada 1981 to 2010 normals for the Burnaby Simon Fraser University station on Burnaby Mountain show about 44 days a year at or below 0°C, about 89 cm of snow and about 2,010 mm of precipitation. That hilltop station is wetter and snowier than lower parts of the city, so treat it as an upper bound, but pools and hot tubs everywhere in Burnaby still need proper winter protection.
What does a professional closing include?
Balancing the water and adding winter treatment, lowering the water to the correct level, blowing out and plugging the lines and draining the pump, filter and heater. Accessories are removed and stored and the cover is fitted. The order matters, which is why it is done as one visit.
Should the pool be drained completely for winter?
No, and doing so can cause real damage. Water in the pool is part of what holds the structure in place against ground pressure, and an empty pool can shift or lift. The water level is lowered rather than emptied, which is a different thing.
Great service! We had Matt come over to drain and refill the hot tub. He also washed the whole tub and balanced the chemicals. Definitely would recommend!
These ladies are amazing! Identified the problem, ordered the new part and quickly got out to do the repair. Both Staci and Lola were professional and personable…a rare combination these days. I highly recommend this company
We rented our house and needed a hot tub cleaning service asap. I called PPS and they responded to the urgency of our situation right away. Throughout the rental period PPS was extremely flexible and offered after hours contact through text. Their service is very professional and met the needs of an extreme picky house guest. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing a hot tub cleaning service.
We did call Puddle's for a inspection and the guy Yuvi told us exactly what needs to be done no left or right just direct things that needed to solved and we liked them and overall Management ia soo good. Pricing wise super fair even though it's Vancouver lol!
I don't know much about but a guy name Yuvi youngman seems so professional and he's the one we been looking for he's the best and yeah he's a part of Puddle's so i will recommend this company highly. Thanks again to the Management Miss Tina and Yuvi.
Puddle Pools might be the only company in the Vancouver area that services inflatable spas. I contacted five other companies, and they were the only ones willing to help. On top of that, they were professional, prompt, and reasonably priced, especially compared to how much others charge for leak detection in pools and hot tubs. I’d definitely use their services again.

Our family just can't say enough good things about Puddle Pool Services. We had a terrible provider before - completely unresponsive, often a no show, chaotic invoicing, and no reporting. What a difference with Puddle Pools! As soon as our account was set up we were on a weekly schedule and it was like clockwork! The technicians are completely reliable, thorough, and send a report after each visit with check marks for what was done for servicing, short notes, and pictures. Talk about over the top service. This past week we had a pipe joint fail in the poolhouse and we were away. Our caretaker noticed it right away and Puddle Pools had someone out the next day to check and find out what they needed to bring the next day for repairs. They turned off the pump to protect it while the caretaker refilled the pool and then came back the next day to turn it on. What could have been an expensive disaster was all taken care of. The stress relief this provided was huge! We love, love, love Puddle Pools. Thank you, Travis!
Kat from Puddle Pool Services is great. She’s punctual, thorough and always does a great job. My pool and spa have never looked better!
