Pool Maintenance in Kelowna, BC
British Columbia might have relatively mild winters compared to the rest of Canada but that doesn’t mean that we don’t deal with cold! The Okanagan experiences every season, often in extremes! Cold winters will come on fast and spring is known to start early so it is important to make sure that your swimming pool is ready for anything. Throughout Kelowna, seasonal pool maintenance protects pools through winter and helps to make the most out of the warmer months.
It is no secret that swimming pools get the most attention throughout the summer season. There is no better way to beat the heat than a quick dip in a clean and inviting pool and that goes for both homes and businesses! As the pool season comes to an end, it is important to winterize your pool to avoid damage caused by cold temperatures. As temperatures start to warm, spring pool care and openings are key to restoring water condition after months of sitting idle. It is easy to get wrapped up in changing leaves and weather-proofing homes going into the fall season, so book your seasonal pool care in advance for peace of mind and great results.
Seasonal Pool Care: When To Call
It is important to clean your pool no matter the time of year but a changing of the seasons is a multi-step approach. After months of off-season, there is likely a ton of debris inside your pool basin and just turning on a pool vacuum isn’t enough to get rid of all this. Instead of trying to predict freezing temperatures, or struggling to remove months worth of debris, trust an expert with your thorough and efficient seasonal pool services.
Closing a Pool: It is a common misconception that throughout the Okanagan Valley, pool, spa and other water features need to be fully emptied when closing down for the season. Emptying pool water improperly can lead to flooded surrounding areas and drowned lawns. By lowering levels, shocking water, and inspecting pumps and filters, systems are protected throughout the cold season.
Opening a Pool: No one wants to pull back their winter pool cover to find their pool looking more like a swamp than a swim space. A pool opening involves not only treating water but undoing everything that was done on closing. This means having to restore any components that were detached to avoid freezing, restoring water levels, shocking the pool, removing debris and heavy scrubbing of walls. During this time it is also important to inspect the filtration system. A pool filter is key to keeping water clean and sanitary so they should be cleaned regularly.

Kelowna Pool Maintenance: 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.
Can I drain my pool into the street in Kelowna?
Approval from the City Public Operations Department is needed before draining or backwashing onto city streets or public property (bylaw 11.6.1). The city's pool checklist says storm drains flow untreated into Okanagan Lake or streams, so water drained to the storm system must be dechlorinated and salt water pools should drain to the sanitary sewer. Contact the City's Water Quality department first, discharge at a low flow rate and stop if it rains.
Do Kelowna pools lose much water in summer?
Yes. ECCC normals give mean lake evaporation of about 5.1 mm per day in July and a mean mid afternoon relative humidity near 36 percent, with about 26 days a year above 30 C. Knowing that baseline helps tell normal evaporation from a leak.
Why does water chemistry matter for my equipment?
Unbalanced water does more than look bad. Water that drifts too low in alkalinity or pH becomes corrosive to metal parts, heaters and fittings, while water that runs high tends to leave scale. Keeping chemistry in range is one of the simplest ways to protect equipment.
What does a maintenance visit check besides the water?
The filter and its pressure, the pump and its baskets, visible plumbing and valves plus the condition of the liner or surface, covers and fittings. The point is to spot wear early, while it is still a small fix.
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.
