Pool Opening in Lambton Shores, ON
After a long winter there is nothing better than sitting poolside and soaking up the first days of summer sun. As great as this sounds, it doesn’t come with a lot of hard work. During the off-season swimming pools are sitting stagnant and this means contaminated water and months worth of debris when you try to open up in spring. Lambton Shores pool opening services restore swim spaces so you can make the most out of the swim season.
Spring Pool Care: What to Do & When
All pool owners have a different idea of when the ideal time to open a pool is. For some it is the first warm day of spring, while others prefer the May long weekend or even wait until June. The truth is that there is no exact date to open your pool but there is a temperature. When the average outdoor temperature reaches 21 degrees it is safe to open your swim space for the season.
Restoring Water Condition: After months of sitting idle pool water is likely looking pretty swampy. You might pull back your pool cover to find green water, foul smells and a whole lot of debris. Stepping foot into contaminated can result in recreational water illnesses like skin irritations, eye infections and even e-coli poisoning so restoring water condition is a top priority when opening. An initial shock treatment might be a good start but that is only step one. After an initial treatment (or two depending how the level of contamination) it is then time to balance chlorine levels, pH levels, alkalinity and calcium.
Ditch Debris: Even with a winter cover on, unwanted items have a way of making their way inside of pool systems. Lighter items will float along pool surfaces, heavier ones will sink to the bottom of the pool and skimmer baskets will collect a range of unwanted items great and small. Giving your pool a clean bill of health means removing debris from each of these areas using specialty tools like manual vacuums and brushes that are designed to remove residue from water lines without causing damage.
Inspecting Pool Equipment: Cold temperatures make plastic brittle and can cause cracks, warping or worse to internal water systems. Before firing up your systems for use it is important to make sure that your water levels are staying consistent, return lines are in good shape and equipment like the pump, filter and heaters are working properly. In the same way that a winter cover can help to keep debris out and prevent algae, swapping solid covers out for mesh ones can help to heat pool water, cutting down on utility costs. Puddle technicians offer tips on the best cover for your space as well as for storing your pool cover.
Puddle Pool Services: The Best Way to Open Your Pool
It is one thing to clean your pool when it is already being maintained but opening it up for use is another story all together. Pool openings are complicated processes that involve multiple steps across multiple systems, all with the goal of letting you enjoy your spring and summer to the fullest.
Each member of the Puddle team is local to the Lambton Shores area so we understand what your pool is up against and how to set the stage for a successful swim season. In addition to fully insured staff and service, Puddle technicians pride themselves on affordable rates and transparent pricing.
Lambton Shores Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an opening if I never closed the pool properly?
If anything, yes. A pool that was left rather than closed tends to need more work at the start of the season, not less, because untreated standing water and equipment that was not drained are the two things that cause the most damage over winter. Mention it when you book so the right amount of time is set aside.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Clear access to the pool and the equipment and move anything stored on or against the cover. Make sure the power supply to the pump and heater is on. If you know something went wrong last season or over the winter, mention it when booking rather than at the visit.
What happens to my winter cover?
It is removed carefully, cleaned and folded so it is preserved properly for next winter.
Why does the water look green or cloudy when the cover comes off?
Water that has sat under a cover all winter often has some algae and debris in it, even after a good closing. The opening shock and balancing start clearing it, and the filtration finishes the job over the following days.
Will I get a report after the opening?
Yes. You receive a digital report showing your equipment is running, with photos and the initial water readings.
I am so happy that I found Puddle Pools. Mary, Simon and their team were so great to deal with. Communication was terrific; prices are transparent and reasonable! No one asked me for this review but I felt they really deserved a good one. They came back to make something right and didn’t charge extra. Great customer service and wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend this company.
Excellent service! Professional, responsive, and efficient. The best pool service I have experienced in the past 10 years! Thank you Simon 👍
Mary and Simon did an outstanding job replacing our pool liner, demonstrating professionalism and attention to detail throughout the process. They are expertise and friendly service made the experience enjoyable, and I would highly recommend them to others.
The Puddle Pools team has been great to work with! We reached out after we were having some issues with our pool and Mary was quick with her response that they could help. Josh was so helpful and great to work with. We will definitely be using them in the future and recommending to friends!
Simon, Mary and their staff were amazing to work with. Throughout the process of a full pool installation and a hot tub purchase they were always available to answer questions, alleviate our concerns and ensure we were getting the best products at very competitive pricing. They were efficient with their time from start to finish. They always showed up when they were supposed to and communication flawlessly throughout execution. We appreciate the effort and quality workmanship from our friends at puddle pools for making our backyard a functional space to enjoy our family in friends for many years to come.
I can not say enough good things about Mary and her team. We are extremely happy we switched to Puddle Pool systems. We are looking forward to a stress free and worry free summer!
