Burnaby Pool Opening

Homeowners throughout the Burnaby area are no strangers to pools. Whether you have an existing water system on your property or are looking to install a new one, there is no doubt that regular cleaning and maintenance are a must — but what about seasonal care? Closing down an outdoor pool for the cold season is necessary in order to avoid damage, but when the sun begins to come out for spring, opening back up is a top priority. When you want to make the most out of the swim season, call a Puddle Pro for your Burnaby pool opening.

As temperatures drop, seasonal pool care revolves around closing pools. When you want to open up again in spring, it is much more difficult than just throwing in a chlorine puck and raising water levels. In BC, cold weather can last for 6 months at a time, so it is no wonder that property owners want to open their water systems as quickly as possible. Calling an expert for your pool opening services means getting great results, done in a timely manner.

Pool Openings: What Makes for Great Results

Before you pull back that pool cover, consider calling an expert to handle your opening. Over the course of the winter, your pool system is left out in the cold — literally! During this time, the chemicals in your water system will fade, opening the door for bacteria and contamination. If there has been debris floating in your system, there are likely clogs in your pool filter and a layer of debris on your pool floor. When you want to keep your system running smoothly, it is important to break your opening down into a multi-step approach.

Starting Off: There isn’t much point in applying pool chemicals if there is still debris floating around. Great results start with a thorough skimming and scrubbing of walls, stairs and flooring. Technicians can then vacuum the pool, removing debris from flooring. Removing sitting debris quickly can help to prevent permanent staining to liners. Once debris is dealt with, it is possible to grab a garden hose and refill dropped water lines. Unless you are dealing with a wading pool, the refilling process can take hours, but this takes us into Phase Two!

Water Treatments: Simple test strips can help to point out minor issues within your water chemistry, but they do not always help to correct the issue. Having water tested by a professional can help to identify issues and balance chlorine and pH levels, as well as total alkalinity.

Pool Equipment: After winterizing plugs in winter, it is important to ensure that they are opened back up for spring. Drain plugs are a key part of circulation systems, as well as the pump and filter. Inspecting each of these on opening can shed light on the overall condition of your components. Taking stock of these areas can help to identify pain points or areas of struggle before they lead to widespread damage.
