    When to Book Pool Closing in Dundas

    Throughout summer, it is easy to focus your pool care entirely around water chemistry, but it takes a lot more than that to keep your system running smoothly. As winter months begin to settle in, it is important to consider both the obvious aspects of your swim space, as well as the inner-workings. A professional Dundas pool closing can help to protect your structures through the cold season, keep your pool clean and help to set the stage for a quick and easy pool opening.

    Properly closing your pool for winter is an important part of care and maintenance. Depending on the size and style of your pool, the closing process can differ greatly from one property to another. For example, there are different steps involved in cleaning out sand filters, and a removable cartridge filter. Understanding how to clean, dry and store these items is key to keeping them in good shape throughout the year. Protect your mechanisms, liners and structural integrity with one call to a Puddle technician.

    The Benefits of Seasonal Pool Care

    Regular care for your swimming pool is the key to its success during the busy season, but the needs of your space do not stop there. As the seasons change, so do your seasonal pool maintenance needs. Instead of struggling through additional chores, only to end up with subpar results, call a Puddle Pool expert to get great results, and to protect your system. Whether you are an experienced pool owner or are new to the world of care and maintenance, it can take years to fully understand the inner workings of your system, but our experts have put the hard work in for you.

    Prolong the Lifespan of Your Pool: Pools are built tough but that does not mean that they are invincible. Just pulling on safety covers is not enough to keep your system in good condition. As water freezes, it expands and contracts. This is bad news for liners and for the concrete foundations around your pool. In order to ensure that your pool stays in good shape, it is important to drop the water level below jets, skimmers and sensitive areas.

    Protect Pool Equipment: In the same way that water can freeze inside your pool or hot tub, it can freeze inside pipes, drains, the pool pump and motor. Frozen water makes plastic brittle and can wear down at other materials. Taking out removable components, drying them and finding a safe place to store these means avoiding winter damage.

    Simplify Your Pool Opening: When warm weather comes around, setting up for spring means more than pulling back a winter cover. Without an expert technique, you can expect to see algae blooms, staining, sunken debris and other issues, after months of sitting idle. This means having to perform an expensive and time consuming deep clean before you can step foot inside. Why waste valuable time when you can set yourself up for success with professional care.

    Puddle Care: Not Your Average Pool Closing Service

    Any pool service can check your chlorine levels, or balance the water within your system. In order to protect your space from the cold, our team of highly experienced Puddle technicians inspect everything from the drain plug, to motors and anything in-between. Pool accessories are not all fun and games, but can help to benefit the overall condition of your swim space. Water bags, for example, are simple additions but can help to keep your water from freezing.

    Calling in a Puddle technician means getting great results, but also peace of mind. Fully insured specialists protect your pool, and our teams. Each member of the Puddle crew are outfitted with proper safety equipment, helping to avoid unnecessary damage and injury. This commitment to safety, as well as on-going training and competitive pricing, means our experts are dedicated to keeping our community running smoothly. Call today for your free quote.

    Dundas Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions

    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.

    Does a safety cover need anything over winter?

    It is worth clearing heavy accumulations of leaves, snow or standing water where you can do so safely from the edge, since sustained weight shortens a cover's life and stresses its anchors. Never walk on a cover to do it. If something looks wrong, it is better checked than guessed at.

    What is a plumbing blow out?

    It uses high volume air to clear water out of the underground lines, so there is nothing left in them to freeze and crack the pipes over winter.

    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.

    Started using Puddle Pools last year and they are very professional, always on time and their team is great. Not just for opening or closing but also repairs. Highly recommend!

    Lindsay Schenk ★★★★★

    We recently hired Puddles Pool Services to complete a pool inspection for our buyers during a real estate transaction, and they were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Despite a very tight timeline, TJ and Mark were able to accommodate our request and fit us into their schedule, which was greatly appreciated. They arrived on time, were professional and efficient, and conducted a thorough inspection of the pool and equipment. Their communication was excellent, and they provided the information we needed promptly, helping to keep the transaction moving smoothly. It's clear they take pride in their work and value their clients. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of a pool inspection and will definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you for the exceptional service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Great pool company!!! Great drivers too! Thanks puddle pools!

    Ryan Sauriol ★★★★★

    Professionals from start to finish. I've used a few different pool services over the years and there is no comparison to TJ and his team. I had them perform a comprehensive leak detection and followed that up with a leak repair. Their expertise, top of the line equipment, and friendliness made the entire experience quick and easy. They keep you informed all the way through the process and in terms of value for dollar, they can't be beat. I wish I could give six stars!

    Tina Riddles ★★★★★

    TJ and his team go above and beyond opening and closing our pool. Exceptional service! We have had other pool companies in the past but nothing compares to Puddle Pools. I would definitely recommend them!!
