What Pool Maintenance Covers in Fruitland Park
Florida might not have big seasonal shifts and blankets of snow like other parts of the country but you still shouldn’t leave your pool out in the cold. As the fall season creeps in, it is easy to plan out the holidays while forgetting the needs of your swimming pool. Failing to close a pool in fall means a whole lot of headache when you try to open back up in spring.
Instead of dealing with issues later, let our Puddle Pros take a proactive approach. Fruitland Park seasonal pool maintenance programs keep your water systems running smoothly all year long. When you want to protect your pools from the cold and make the most out of the swim season, just call a Puddle Pro!
Seasonal Pool Care: Building A Schedule That Works
One of the most common questions that we get asked as pool specialists is: when do I close my pool down for winter? The truth is that there is no set date for when you should close or open your swimming pool. Opening pools too early leaves them open to risk from the elements while waiting too long to book your pool opening means missing out on warmer weather.
Getting Ready for the Winter Months: The winter season in Florida does not come on fast and strong like the more Northern states but temperatures do drop! The average lowest temperature during winter is around 55 degrees. During this time, swimming is not on the priority list! Going into the off-season or preparing for a long absence or vacation away should include closing down your pool system. It is common practice to clean your pool when it is in use but when traffic slows down, it is easy to forget a chemical treatment here or there. When you want to winterize your pool, a step-by-step approach is key to keeping systems in good shape. Start by dropping the water level in inground pools to a couple inches below the skimmer line or installing an air pillow in an above ground pool; add chemicals to reduce the risk of algae growth. It is also a good idea to winterize drain plugs, remove detachable components to be dried and stored.
Preparing For Spring: One of the first steps to getting a pool ready for use is to remove debris and start to balance your water chemistry. Balancing your pool water is not as simple as tossing in a chlorine puck and hoping for the best. A test kit will tell you when sanitizer levels are off but they don’t tell you how to fix them. Reinstalling any pool equipment that has been removed is important, as is testing and inspecting components like pool pumps, heaters, return lines and more. You should add water to ensure that levels reach the skimmer. Telescopic poles are used to scrub sides while skimmers remove floating debris and manual vacuums suck up debris from the bottom of the pool.
Off-Season Program: If you are unsure about whether or not a full pool closing is right for you, it is a good idea to consider an off-season pool program. Switching from a weekly to bi-weekly cleaning program means your swim space gets the same expert treatment at a reduced rate. With this option when you want to open up in spring, all you have to do is turn on your heater.
Switching seasons can be difficult for pool owners to handle and that is why our local Puddle Pros are here to lighten the load.

Fruitland Park Pool Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is Fruitland Park water?
The City of Fruitland Park report does not list hardness, but the Village of Pine Ridge 2025 Water Quality Report, whose water comes from the City of Fruitland Park system, gives hardness of 189 mg/L. Water that hard can leave scale on tile, heaters and hot tub jets, so keep an eye on calcium when balancing a pool or spa.
Does Fruitland Park tap water contain chlorine?
Yes. The City's 2025 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report says its four Floridan aquifer wells are treated by aeration and chlorination, with chlorine at 1.5 ppm (range 1.0 to 1.6). Test a freshly filled pool, hot tub or fountain before adding sanitizer so you know the starting level.
Can I drain my pool into the storm drain in Fruitland Park?
The City's stormwater rules prohibit non stormwater discharges to the storm sewer system, but dechlorinated swimming pool discharges are listed as an allowed exception. Let chlorine dissipate before any water reaches a storm drain and confirm with the City before draining.
How do I know whether my equipment needs attention?
The signs are usually gradual: the pool takes longer to clear than it used to, the pump sounds different, pressure readings drift from their normal range or the water is harder to keep balanced. Any of those is worth mentioning, because equipment problems are cheaper to address early.
How long should the pump run each day?
Long enough to turn over the pool's full volume, which depends on the size of the pool and the capacity of the pump rather than on a single rule. Running it too little is the most common cause of water that will not stay clear, while running it longer than needed mainly costs electricity. Your technician can tell you what is right for your setup.

Puddle pools has been servicing our pool for several years. Rick has always been very responsive and our tech, Jacob, is fantastic. I have recommended him to all our friends with pools.
I just want to share the amazing support I have received from Puddle Pools. Let's start with Anne Marie...I was having pump issues and the pump needed to be replaced. While we waited for the part, Anne Marie took care of the pool and made sure it remained clean despite the pump not working. Then the pump was replaced and it went great but Puddle Pools was receiving a warning light, so they came out proactively to repair it. Well, Brayden spent a good two hours working the issue and would not stop until it was resolved. Then I was having problems with the lights and they needed to be programmed. He again troubleshooted it and now they are fine. Lastly Rick and Sheila, I can't thank them enough for their proactive approach. When I got the email on how to properly handle the cold weather. I was like WOW that was so helpful!! Thank you Puddle Pools you guys are amazing!!!
We couldn't be happier with the services provided by Puddle Pool Services and in particular Jacob P! He does a great job, always pleasant and friendly! Thank you!
