How Residential Pool Services Work in Kelowna
Having a pool at home is a huge asset to any property. Nothing beats taking an impromptu dip or getting in some laps after a long work day and nothing screams summer fun like hosting a pool party. There are plenty of benefits to having a pool or swim spa right in your own backyard but maintenance isn’t one of them! Taking care of a swimming pool can feel like a full-time job and depending on your location, it can be. In areas of high heat, lots of plant life and high growth rates, it is a constant battle to ditch debris, eliminate algae and keep swimming pools clean. When you want to make the most out of the swim season, call a Puddle Pro for expert, affordable Kelowna residential pool services.
Unlike a public or commercial swim space who often have a full staff dedicated to keeping pools in great condition, homeowners are often left on their own. Pool care at home means having to keep up with balancing water chemistry, removing debris, keeping internal systems running and setting up for a changing of the seasons. All of this adds up and can become overwhelming pretty fast! Instead of struggling to keep up with the needs of your swimming pool, call an experienced Puddle technician to handle the heavy lifting for you.
Residential Pool Care: What to Know
When you want to keep water clean, it takes more than shocking the pool every now and then and flipping the switch on a pool vacuum. Regular maintenance is key to keeping pools in good condition but each cleaning should be broken down into a multi-step approach. It is easy to get caught up focusing on water condition and forget about the filtration system, surrounding areas and surfaces that still need attention.
Water Chemistry: Anyone can grab a water testing kit from a pool supply store but putting these to use can be tough. Basic test strips will usually help to point out problem areas with chlorine levels but they often don’t cover other chemical levels like pH levels, alkalinity and calcium. Imbalanced water chemistry will lead to cloudy or discoloured water but it is also a health and safety risk. Stepping into contaminated water can lead to recreational water illnesses (RWIs) ranging from ear and eye infections, skin irritations, all the way to digestive issues and even e-coli poisoning.
Dealing with Debris: It is easy to skim the surface of pool water, collecting leaves, seed pods and even insects as you go. Lighter items tend to float along surfaces while heavier items sink to the bottom. Standard vacuums are not designed to reach into corners, navigate hard angles or navigate stairs. This means seams and corners are at risk of buildup, bacteria, discolouration and algae. Getting rid of unwanted items means skimming, vacuuming, emptying skimmer baskets and hard scrubbing of residue means speciality tools and a lot of technique, so it is best left to the experts.
Monitoring Pool Equipment: Part of what makes pool care so complicated is maintaining the systems and parts that keep it going, If a pool pump stops working, water stops circulating and so do chemicals. Stagnant water is prone to algae growth and bacteria buildup. The pool filter in your system helps to keep water clean so it should always be in tip-top shape. No matter the type of pool filter that you are dealing with, they should be regularly inspected, cleaned or replaced regularly. A cartridge filter can be removed, cleaned and replaced, usually every 3-4 months. In the case of a sand filter, they should be emptied and replaced with new sand every several years.
Seasonal Pool Care: Just when you think you have a handle on your swimming pool care, the seasons change and you have to start from scratch. Over the winter season outdoor pools are at risk of damage caused by freezing. Failing to close pools properly in fall also means having a more difficult time opening up in spring. When winter weather gives way to warmer temperatures, you will have to do more than pull back a pool cover and hop on in. Multi-step openings are key to restoring water condition, making it sanitary for use so you can make the most out of the warm weather.
From above ground pools to inground models, there is nothing that our team of experts can’t handle!
Puddle Pool Services: Expert Pool Care Right to Your Front Door
Each member of the Puddle team is local to the Kelowna area, so we know exactly what your swimming pool is up against. The needs of a swimming pool will change throughout the year, so pool programs will need to be adjusted based on outdoor temperatures, rate of use and surrounding areas. High heats will burn chemicals off faster so the program that you use in spring will not be enough to keep water clean at the height of summer or the start of the fall season. Instead of struggling to develop a cleaning program that works, over and over again, let an expert handle it for you!
Highly trained and experienced technicians are able to create custom treatment plans according to the unique needs of your swim space. By offering affordable rates and a wide range of service options, Puddle technicians can handle indoor and outdoor pools on a regular basis, as well as service calls, seasonal treatments, inspections and leak detection to keep swim spaces in great shape all year long.
Kelowna Residential Pool Services: Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is Kelowna water for pools?
Kelowna has several water providers, so it depends on your address. The City of Kelowna Water Utility, which draws from Okanagan Lake, gives total hardness of 110 to 130 mg/L or five to seven grains per gallon. Black Mountain Irrigation District and Rutland Waterworks District use different sources, so use the city's find your water provider lookup and test your own fill water.
What are the pool fence rules in Kelowna?
Under City of Kelowna Building Bylaw No. 7245, Part 11, a building permit is required and fencing or an equivalent barrier must be at least 1.07 m high with no opening that passes a 10 cm sphere. Access other than through a dwelling needs a self closing gate or door that returns to a locked position, with a spring lock on the pool side at least 90 cm above grade. No pool may be filled until the fencing requirement is met, so confirm with the City before opening a new pool.
When should I open and close my pool in Kelowna?
ECCC 1981 to 2010 normals for Kelowna Airport give an average last spring frost around May 10 and first fall frost around September 28, a frost free period of about 140 days. Highs exceed 20 C on about 24 days in June and 29 in July and August. An opening visit cleans and inspects the pool. A closing visit winterizes it before the fall frost.
Do you look after hot tubs as well as pools?
Yes. Many homes have both, and hot tubs can be serviced on the same visit and the same plan as the pool.
Why is water balance so important for a home pool?
Balanced water is safer for swimmers and kinder to the pool. A shift in alkalinity or pH can make the water corrosive to equipment or cause scale and staining, which leads to repairs that regular balancing avoids.
We had Warren from Puddle Pool Services close our in ground pool for the season, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. Warren was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to make sure everything was done properly and explained what he was doing along the way. You can tell he takes pride in his work, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing our pool was properly prepared for the winter. It’s not always easy finding someone you can trust to do a job like this, but Warren was fantastic from start to finish. We highly recommend Warren and Puddle Pool Services and will definitely be calling them again next season! Thank you, Warren, for making closing the pool so easy! 🙌
Warren was an absolute lifesaver. I needed a last-minute service call and not only did he deliver but the Hot Tub was in amazing condition after he was done with it!
Absolutely fantastic! On time. Thorough. Just perfect. And accommodating to my unique needs for maintenance. Would highly recommend,
This pool services company actually cares about its customers. I have used several pool companies in town prior to this, and had terrible experiences. I'm so grateful to have finally found a pool company who is responsive to my issues and takes great care of us! Warren is the best!! Our pool has never looked better, thank you Puddle Pool!
I couldn’t be more impressed with Puddle Pool Services! From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure my pool was in perfect condition. The service was prompt, friendly, and exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and top-quality pool care!
Nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL service! I recently moved into a new home with a very complex smart technology setup, and Warren has been incredible throughout the process. He was always available to take my calls and respond to countless texts. Today, he even made time to squeeze me in due to some unexpected heater issues. Not only did he quickly resolve the problem, but he also walked me through the process so I could learn how to troubleshoot on my own. That kind of dedication is rare. I'm all about great service—and this company has exceeded even my high expectations. I highly recommend them for any pool or hot tub needs. Thank you, Warren & team! I look forward to continuing to use your services.
