When to Book Pool Closing in Kingston
It is tough to say goodbye to summer but as the weather gets cold it is important to shut down your pool properly to avoid damage and a whole lot of headache when spring comes back around. It is easy to make pool care a priority when you are swimming every day but as your pool is used less frequently during cold weather it is easy to forget. Instead of letting winter weather get the best of your swim space, call Puddle for efficient and affordable Kingston pool closing needs.
You don’t have to go far to find a ton of fall pool maintenance tips but unless they are coming from an expert they won’t be effective. Shutting your system down for the off-season is more demanding than just throwing on a winter cover and hoping for the best. If water is left sitting stagnant for months at a time there will be algae growth forming underneath covers, debris buildup in skimmer baskets, clogged fillers and contaminated water. Don’t spend the first warm days of the season struggling to restore pol condition when you can call Puddle instead!
Fall Pool Care: What to Expect
Your swimming pool is made up of many moving parts and behind-the-scenes systems that keep your water flowing. Ontario is known for its frigid winters and cold temperatures can damage each of these systems, pieces of equipment and the structures themselves. The best way to prepare your pool for the winter is to break the process down into multiple steps, each of which address a different aspect of your water system.
Step 1: Every closing should start with a cleaning. The reason for that is that leaving debris sitting in your pool water for months at a time is a shortcut to a contaminated water system. By vacuuming up sunken items from the bottom of the pool, skimming floating debris from pool surfaces and emptying skimmer baskets you are reducing the risk of algae blooms.
Step 2: Once debris has been removed it is time to get started on the more complicated aspects of a pool closing. Cold temperatures make plastic brittle and cause water to freeze. When frozen, water will expand up to 9% which might seem like a small number but it is enough to causes pipes to burst. To prevent damage, it is important to drop the water level in an inground pool or install water bags in above ground pools. Dropping the water level prevents pool water from reaching vulnerable areas like pool pumps, return lines and plumbing lines. Winterizing drain plugs is another way of preventing water from seeping into sensitive areas. Before you drain the water from your pool consult an expert to avoid water damage, flooding and other issues.
Step 3: Flush return lines to remove sitting water and remove detachable components so they can be dried and stored over the winter. This is also the best time to add winterizing chemicals to pool basins to reduce the risk of freezing and algae growth. Install a solid winter pool cover to discourage algae blooms.

Kingston Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Why does a pool need closing rather than just covering?
Because the damage winter causes is done by water left in the plumbing and equipment, not by the pool being uncovered. Water expands as it freezes, which is what cracks pipes, pumps, filters and heaters. Closing is mainly about getting water out of the places it should not be and leaving the remaining water treated.
When should a pool be closed?
Once the season is over and temperatures are consistently falling, but before the first hard freeze. Closing too early in warm water can encourage algae to establish under the cover, while leaving it too late risks the freeze damage the closing exists to prevent.
What does a professional closing include?
Balancing the water and adding winter treatment, lowering the water to the correct level, blowing out and plugging the lines and draining the pump, filter and heater. Accessories are removed and stored and the cover is fitted. The order matters, which is why it is done as one visit.
