I’ve had Puddle Pools open and close my above ground pool twice now. They also replaced an old pump, serviced the filter, and made a few other minor repairs. It’s an older pool but running quite well now. Every time they were friendly and professional, happy to answer my many questions as an inexperienced pool owner. Highly recommend.
We had a great experience, our pool was green and not getting better after several attempts of testing with pool stores and treating, the tech from Puddle was very knowledgeable and helpful and great at explaining what had happened and exactly what we needed to do to fix it, after following his instructions our pool came back to life quickly was a great experience from first email, quote, tech visit and even after visit kept answering emails and providing advice
Highly recommend
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Puddle Pool Services. James, Zach and Richard were professional and attentive. Their attention to detail was unmatched, when installing our new pool liner. We are so glad we found Puddle Pools and recommend their services to anyone!
5 stars, wish I could give more!

Puddle Pool Services has been the best pool company we’ve ever used. I only wish I’d discovered them sooner! From start to finish, their team delivers exceptional care, expertise, and friendliness.

Richard is an absolute pleasure to work with—always arriving with a smile and tackling every task with skill and professionalism. I genuinely look forward to having him open and close our pool each season, and he never hesitates to answer questions or offer thoughtful advice.

Likewise, Zach has gone above and beyond for us on numerous occasions. He’s prompt, communicative, and always ready with frank, honest guidance. His responsiveness and positive attitude make every interaction a delight.

Thank you, Puddle Pool Services! I’ve already recommended you to friends and family, and I will continue to do so without hesitation.

🌊 Five Stars Just Isn't Enough for Puddle Pools! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We recently made the switch to Puddle Pools Ottawa for both our salt water pool and hot tub — and let me just say, it’s been a total game-changer.

After returning from an extended trip to Jamaica, we came back to a hot tub that had been left unattended and needed some serious TLC. The Puddle team jumped in right away and brought it back to life like absolute pros. Then came our pool opening in May, and again — flawless. From start to finish, they’ve made the whole experience not just smooth, but actually enjoyable.

What sets them apart? The details. After each visit, they send us a full report of what was done, leave us with all the right chemicals and products to keep things in top shape, and best of all — they go above and beyond with the little touches. One day we came home to find a puffer fish squishy left in our driveway as a fun surprise for our family. Who does that? Legends, that’s who.

We used to go with a more well-known local company, but honestly... they just weren’t on their game. Puddle Pools is next level — reliable, friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do.

If you're in Ottawa and want pool or hot tub service done right, do yourself a favour and call Puddle. You won't look back. 💦🐠💙

Kanata Pool Opening Service

Nothing beats the fresh smell of spring — except for enjoying it from a swimming pool! The May long weekend typically signals the first days of spring, as well as the beginning of the swim season. When you want to make the most out of the warm weather, it is a great idea to book professional Kanata pool opening services in advance. By booking an appointment with a Puddle Pro, pool owners are able to have their systems up and running, looking great and help to avoid unnecessary damage.

Spring pool care is not as simple as pulling the safety cover off of your water system and diving on in. After a long winter, your pool is likely experiencing a few different types of contamination ranging from a buildup of debris, cloudy water or algae. Stepping into tainted water can lead to skin irritations, eye infections or other illness. When you want the best results for your pool system, an expert can clean and maintain internal components, as well as structures and water condition.

The Best Way to Open Your Pool in Spring

The May long weekend is the standard time to open a pool but the climate in Kanata can be complicated. In reality, when the average temperature reaches 21 degrees it is time to start the opening process. Instead of a simple chemical application, opening a pool is a multi-part process that spans over the course of multiple days.

One of the main focuses of a pool opening is to undo what was done during the closing process. Dropping the water level and winterizing plugs is a necessary way to prevent frozen water in lines and internal mechanisms. Refilling water levels and opening drain plugs allow water to circulate, spreading necessary chemical treatments throughout.

When you remove the cover from your system after a long period of sitting idle, you will likely be met with a lot of built up debris and cloudy pool water. Algae is likely to form over long periods, as well. All of these combined creates a negative visual, as well as an unsanitary swim space. It is easy enough to vacuum the pool bottom but these tools are not designed to dig into hard angles or corners. Scrubbing sides with specialized tools are able to remove residue from walls, stairs and flooring, eliminating slippery surfaces.

A balanced application of pool chemicals can help to restore chlorine and sanitizer levels, as well as the pH level and total alkalinity. Algaecides can help to eliminate any algae growth that has formed over the course of winter. Testing for phosphates can also help to achieve clean water, faster. A simple test kit might be able to alert to some common issues with chemical balance but an opening requires a deep clean.

Checking pool equipment is another way to ensure that your opening goes as smoothly as possible. A trained eye can perform visual inspections on everything from the pool pump, to diving board and pool cover. By identifying problem areas at the beginning of the season, it is possible to prevent disaster later on. Having an expert examine your pool and the surrounding area means being able to spot existing issues, as well as problem areas that might turn into a headache later on.

Puddle Pool Maintenance: Opening Your Pool For The Season

Before you pull back that winter cover, consider calling a Puddle expert instead. Local technicians understand the seasons in Kanata, and how each of these impact your pool system. There isn’t much point in buying test strips and chemicals, while leaving debris behind and filters clogged. Instead of settling for subpar results, call a Puddle Pro for a clean water system inside and out.

Puddle Pool technicians are highly trained, highly experienced and fully insured to provide peace of mind, alongside excellent results. A pool opening is a clean slate for a new season, but the needs of your water system don’t stop there. By offering cost competitive prices and options for routine maintenance, seasonal services and refreshes, no one beats Puddle Pool Services.
