When to Book Pool Closing in Coquitlam
Pools across Coquitlam are a staple of summer fun but what happens to water systems over winter? British Columbia might be known for mild winters but that doesn’t mean that the mercury doesn’t dip below zero! As fall comes around and temperatures begin to drop, it is important to come up with a treatment plan for your swimming pool. Leaving water systems out in the cold can lead to unexpected damage and expensive repair bills, so call Puddle for your Coquitlam pool closing to keep systems running smoothly.
During the fall season, property owners have to deal with unexpected cold snaps. This is bad enough for you but it is even worse for your pool. When the average temperature reaches 15 degrees, there is the possibility of freezing inside your pool system. In order to protect your pool over the course of winter, our team of Puddle technicians have created a multi-step approach that caters to the needs of swim spaces from the ground, up.
Fall Pool Care: Closing Pools Versus Winter Treatment Plans
When cold weather hits pool owners have two options: close water systems down for the season, or choose an off-season cleaning and maintenance plan. Both services are designed to keep pools in tip-top shape, no matter their shape, make, model, size or style.
Pool Closing Services: Closing a pool for the winter is not as simple as swapping out your pool cover and forgetting it. In a mild climate, there is always a chance of frozen water. Even if your whole pool is not frozen over, that does not mean that there isn’t frozen water inside your system. Dropping the water level and winterizing drain plugs is a great way to prevent water from seeping into sensitive areas where it can cause damage. If there is frozen water around your pool pump or inside plumbing lines it will make plastic brittle and causes expansion in pipes.
Bi-Weekly Winter Maintenance: In the same way that routine cleanings benefit your swimming pool during summer, winter cleanings keep swim spaces in great shape all year long. Puddle technicians offer the same level of care, but on a reduced schedule. This option means your water chemistry is still monitored, along with inspections of pool filters, return lines, skimmer baskets and more. Maintaining sanitizer and chlorine levels means you are not dealing with cloudy water, discolourations or algae in spring. This means that when you want to open your pool for the season, all you have to do is turn on your heater. This helps property owners make the most out of the swim season.
Every model of pool has a different set of needs. For example, in-ground pools need to have water levels dropped to avoid freezing, while ice bags are the preferred tool for above ground pools. Cleaning and maintaining cartridge filters is also a much different process from looking after sand filters. When you want the best results for your pool closing, ditch the testing kit and amateur approach and call a Puddle technician instead.

Puddle technicians are highly trained and experienced, as well as fully insured to provide peace of mind, as well as great results.
Coquitlam Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
Where does pool drain water go in Coquitlam?
Coquitlam Building Bylaw No. 3598 requires pool drainage and backwash lines to connect to the City sanitary sewer through a sump pump with a backwater valve or indirectly through a 3 inch P trap and standpipe. The City Stream and Drainage System Protection Bylaw also prohibits releasing any waste or deleterious substance into the drainage system. Confirm with the City before draining a pool.
When should I close my pool in Coquitlam?
A Lower Mainland pool company recommends closing residential pools late September to mid October once water stays below about 15 C to avoid freeze damage to plumbing and equipment. Environment Canada normals for the Burquitlam station record about 64 cm of snow a year. Higher neighbourhoods toward Burke Mountain are likely wetter and snowier.
Which Coquitlam neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Coquitlam, including Westwood Plateau, Burke Mountain, Maillardville, Coquitlam Town Centre, Belcarra and Heritage Mountain. The full list of areas is on our Coquitlam page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
Do you use antifreeze in the lines?
Yes, where it is needed. After the blow out, winter plugs go in and non toxic antifreeze is added to critical lines as extra protection against freezing.
How do I know the pool was closed properly?
You get an E-Report confirmation with time stamped photos of the lines being winterized and the cover being secured.
We have them come weekly. Great service
Lily was great in getting us booked in and scheduled. Very prompt service and very professional. Technicians Kain and Jen were great.
Alex was just brilliant. The attention to detail, customer service, and genuineness did not go unnoticed. My husband and I were incredibly happy with Alex's services. He was reliable, responsive, and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend!
Alex is hands down the best pool technician I've worked with. He’s professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. From routine maintenance to troubleshooting unexpected issues, he handles everything with ease and a great attitude. My pool has never looked better – crystal clear and perfectly balanced thanks to his expertise. He also takes the time to explain what he's doing and offers helpful tips for ongoing care. Highly recommend Alex if you want reliable, top-quality service!
Lily was reliable in responding and informative about what her service can offer. She was also honest about what her service could not do. She spent an afternoon here and more than met our objectives for a cleaner pool and more efficient pump. She was friendly and enthusiastic throughout the process. I would whole-heartedly recommend her service and will hire her again! Judith Hopkins
I had a great experience with this business. I normally don’t take the time to leave reviews, but I was super impressed with how kind and professional the staff were. Not to mention, my pool looks amazing and is fully prepared for the summer. Great service at a great price too. Definitely will be calling them again.
