Pool Opening in Coquitlam, BC
Plenty of pool owners are quick to call in seasonal maintenance services to close down their systems, but often take a DIY approach to opening. While it might seem simple to pull back pool covers, toss in an inflatable swan and enjoy warm weather, after months of sitting idle proper care and condition is incredibly important. After months of sitting idle, water systems are in need of deep cleans and chemical treatments -- and our Puddle Pros can help! Professional Coquitlam pool opening can set the stage for a successful swim season, so ditch DIY and enjoy the weather.
When you want to open your pool properly, a multi-step approach is the key to success. By focusing on individual aspects of your property separately, it is possible to create an excellent result for the full picture of your swimming pool.
Why a Professional Spring Startup is Better Than DIY Pool Opening
From the pump and filter and down to the cover, cleaner pools are an investment in your property and your enjoyment. With a busy schedule, it is easy to put pool care on the back burner. The second that temperatures take a turn for the warm, property owners are keen to hop into their pools, but without a proper cleaning, this can result in irritations, infections or other health and safety issues. In addition to keeping swimmers safe, a proper opening can help to protect the overall condition of your pool and hot tub. Why bother with costly pool repairs or replacements when you can call a Puddle Pro instead?
Clean pool water is the key to keeping swimmers safe, and after long periods of disuse, you are likely experiencing high rates of contamination. When you remove the cover from your system, you are likely to be confronted with organic debris, algae blooms, and maybe even a mouse or two. During a pool closing, water levels are dropped to protect inner mechanisms, but before you grab that garden hose to add water, get rid of debris first.
As simple as it might seem to vacuum the pool floor, it is more complicated than meets the eye. Basic vacuum heads cannot get into corners or hard angles, and they certainly can’t scrub away residue. Having a Puddle technician perform your opening services means access to top of the line equipment, designed to remove residue, eliminating slippery surfaces and creating a safer environment for family, friends, guests and tenants.
Any pool supply store can provide a basic test kit with basic test strips, but these are not always known to get results. Having water tested by an expert can help to achieve balance and algaecides can get rid of any blooms that have appeared while the pool was closed. Debris can break down, creating an unsanitary environment but it can also stay intact and clog circulation systems. If there are obstacles within your filter, it puts added strain on the filter, pump, motor and utility bills.

Coquitlam Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fill my pool during watering restrictions in Coquitlam?
Coquitlam enforces the Metro Vancouver stages through its Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 4838, with Stage 1 running automatically May 1 to October 15. Stage 3 prohibits topping up or filling pools and hot tubs unless they hold a local health authority operating permit; Stage 4 prohibits it even for permitted pools. Check the City posted stage before filling in summer.
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.
How much rain does a Coquitlam pool get over winter?
Environment Canada 1981 to 2010 normals for the Burquitlam Vancouver Golf Course station show about 1,937 mm of precipitation a year, with about 307 mm in November and 286 mm in January versus about 62 mm in July. After long wet spells it is worth checking the water level, chemistry and cover on a closed pool.
What happens during a pool opening?
The cover comes off and is cleaned and stored, winter plugs are removed and the equipment is reassembled and restarted. The water level is brought up and the system is run while the water is tested and balanced. Any damage found from the winter is reported at that point rather than discovered mid season.
Will the water be swimmable the same day?
Usually not immediately. Even a well closed pool needs the filtration running and the chemistry corrected before it is ready, and water that has sat all winter takes time to clear. Opening earlier in the season is what gives that process time to happen without cutting into swimming.
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.
