When to Book Pool Closing in Langley
The summer season passes by in a flash. More often than not, it seems like you open a swimming pool one day and are closing it down a week later. Time flies when you’re having fun but it is important to keep up with the needs of your pool, even when the weather gets cold. When temperatures begin to drop, it is easy to overlook a swim space but failing to shut your system down over winter, or prolonged periods of disuse, can cause serious damage. Professional Langley pool closings protect swim spaces from cold weather and the damage that comes along with it.
Swimming pools are built tough in order to withstand the elements, but they aren’t invincible! Even in a place that is known for its mild winters, a cold snap can lead to frozen water. Pools might not freeze over completely but small amounts of water are at risk of cold weather. When the average outdoor temperature reaches 15 degrees, cold snaps are possible and so is damage!
Our Multi-Step Winterization Process: From Water Levels to Chemical Treatments
Whether you are dealing with a swim space at home or a public swimming pool, water systems are all unique. Understanding how your swimming pool works is key to closing down properly, but that can take years of trial, error and research. Instead of spending the last days of summer learning how to close down your pool, have an expert handle it instead! In order to get the best results possible, our team of Puddle experts break fall pool care down into a multi-step approach that treats water systems from the inside, out.
Treating Water Levels: It is important to drop water levels in inground pools in order to avoid freezing. Unlike a basic bathtub, you can’t just pull the plug on a swimming pool and let water run out. Improper drainage can flood lawns, cause water damage and lead to rot. The goal of dropping water levels is to prevent water from seeping into sensitive areas, freezing and causing damage. When dealing with an above ground pool, water or air bags can be used to prevent freezing.
Water Chemistry & Treatments: Keeping up with water balance is a part of any standard pool cleaning. During summer, preventing algae and maintaining a sanitary swim space is a top priority but this becomes less of a focus when polls aren’t in use. If there is winter weather on the way, winterizing chemicals can be applied, reducing the risk of freezing.
Pool Equipment: As fall rolls around, it is a good time to install winter covers on pools and water features. During the summer, mesh covers allow sunlight to reach water and help to heat it. During fall and winter, a warm, damp, covered space is the ideal place for algae to grow. Solid covers keep sunlight out and reduces the risk of growth and discolouration. A changing of the season is also a good time to check on your pool filter. Cartridge filters can be removed, cleaned and replaced while sand filters will need to be emptied and sand replaced. Freezing temperatures can cause plastic to become brittle and water to expand. This expansion can cause pipes to burst so it is a good idea to perform visual inspections of the pool pump, return lines and more.
Puddle Pool Closing Services: Getting Your Water System Ready for Winter
It doesn’t matter whether you are dealing with a swim space around a single family home, a commercial pool offering swimming lessons or a public pool, they all need attention. A proper pool closing service protects pools and equipment from cold snaps, prolongs the lifespan of your mechanisms and can help to pave the way for a successful opening in spring.

Langley Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I drain my pool in the City of Langley?
City of Langley Bylaw No. 3210 prohibits discharging pool water to the storm sewer. Pool water must go to the sanitary sewer during off peak hours (8:00 pm to 6:00 am), for example by pump and hose into a plumbing fixture, after calling the City Operations Centre at least 24 hours ahead. Confirm the details with the City before draining.
Where does pool backwash go in the Township of Langley?
The Township's Swimming Pools and Hot Tubs bulletin says pool backwash must connect to the sanitary sewer where available and must not tie into storm or septic systems. A testable backflow preventer is required where a pool is connected to potable water. Check with the Township before changing pool plumbing or draining.
When should I close my pool in Langley?
A Lower Mainland pool company whose service area includes Langley recommends closing late September to mid October, once the water stays below about 15°C. It warns that closing too late risks freeze damage to plumbing and equipment. Environment and Climate Change Canada normals for nearby Abbotsford Airport show a January mean daily minimum of about 0.6°C with about 56 cm of snow a year. A closing visit winterizes lines and equipment ahead of those freezes.
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.
Travis responded promptly to me, for servising my above ground pool. He and his team came on time, did a perfect job, sent detailed report above the condition of my pool and when he found holes in my liner, I asked him to fix it and he did right the next day. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Travis for your work ethics and excellence.

Bought this house with a pool that was green. After 3 days it looked new. Very impressed with the two technician girls that did the job. Really knowledgeable.
Our pool service was extremely professional and they made the deep end clean again. Happy to leave a positive review.
