When summer arrives in Barrie, your pool quickly becomes the heart of your backyard. Whether you’re cooling off after a long day or hosting friends on a warm weekend, the last thing you want is cloudy water or a hot tub that won’t heat properly. That’s where we come in. Puddle Pools has been taking care of swimming pools and hot tubs across Barrie for years, from newer communities on the south end to established neighborhoods closer to the lake. We’re local, reliable, and we show up when we say we will.

Our services
Across the Barrie area, there is plenty of opportunity to take a dip. From fitness centres to hotels, there are whole business structures based around clean spaces, while an appealing swimming pool can be an excellent selling feature.
Hot tubs are meant to be relaxing, not frustrating. If your water is cloudy, jets aren’t working, or the heater isn’t keeping up, we can help. We service all major hot tub brands and handle regular maintenance to keep everything running efficiently and help avoid costly repairs.
Between work, family, and everything else life throws at you, pool maintenance often ends up last on the list. Our weekly pool service keeps your water clean, balanced, and ready to use all season long. We handle skimming, brushing, vacuuming, water testing, and equipment checks, so you can just enjoy the swim.
Sitting poolside in the sunshine is a top priority during the summer season but as temperatures drop, swim spaces often do not get the same level of attention.
For home owners and home buyers, the condition any pool, spa or hot tub should always be a top priority.
If your pool is losing water faster than expected, it may be more than normal evaporation. We use professional leak detection equipment to locate issues in your pool shell, plumbing, or equipment before small problems turn into expensive repairs.
In Barrie, proper opening and closing is critical. We’ll winterize your pool correctly in the fall to protect it from freezing temperatures, then open it in spring so it’s clean, safe, and swim-ready when warm weather returns.
Caring for a swimming pool can feel like a full time job. Add this on top of an already busy schedule and you’ve got a recipe for a neglected water system.
During the swimming season, it is easy for pool owners to focus in on water condition and skimming out debris but as the seasons change, your swim space needs more technical care.
A water fountain might be great to look at but they can be tough to keep clean. The sound of running water is soothing but it means having to maintain a water circulation system.
Strange noises from the pump? Heater not keeping the water warm? Filter pressure acting up? Our technicians diagnose and repair pumps, filters, heaters, salt systems, and automation equipment. We carry common parts on our trucks, which means many repairs can be completed the same day.
Missed maintenance, equipment failure, or a long vacation can turn any pool green fast. We specialize in green pool cleanups and can restore even the worst-looking pools back to clear, blue water, no judgment, just results.
After every visit
Before we leave, you get a report with photos of your pool, the chemical readings we took and a checklist of everything we did. No guessing what happened while you were at work.
There are plenty of pool companies serving Barrie. Here’s why homeowners stick with us:
We actually answer the phone. When you call us at 705-481-7572, you talk to a real person, no endless menus, no outsourced call centers. If you need help, you get it.
We show up when we say we will. If we schedule your service for a specific day and time window, that’s when we’re there. Reliable scheduling shouldn’t be a bonus, it should be standard.
No pressure, no upselling. If your pool or hot tub needs a repair, we’ll explain why. If it doesn’t, we won’t try to sell you something you don’t need. Our reputation in Barrie matters more than a quick sale.
We understand Barrie pools. From short swim seasons and cold winters to spring openings after months of freeze, local conditions matter. We know how Ontario weather affects pool equipment, water chemistry, and long-term maintenance, because this is where we work and live.
Barrie’s long, cold winters can be tough on pools. Frozen water can crack plumbing, damage fittings, and stress equipment if a pool isn’t winterized properly. We close pools the right way in the fall and inspect everything at opening to catch and fix freeze-related issues early.
After months under a winter cover, it’s common to open your pool to cloudy or dirty water. We handle debris removal, chemical balancing, and filtration cleanup to get your pool clear and safe as quickly as possible.
With a shorter swimming season in Ontario, nobody wants to waste weeks fixing water problems. Our regular maintenance and fast troubleshooting help ensure your pool is ready when warm weather hits, and stays that way.
Big temperature changes between cool nights and warm days can stress pumps, heaters, and seals. We inspect equipment during service visits to catch wear and small issues before they turn into mid-season breakdowns.
A few weeks without circulation or proper chlorine is all it takes for algae to take over. Heading out of town? We offer vacation service to keep your pool clean and balanced, so you come home to clear, blue water instead of a cleanup project.
First season as pool owners and Puddle Pools made a steep learning curve manageable. Nicole in particular was excellent — always quick to respond, patient with my many questions, and genuinely helpful. They always stayed responsive and didn't nickel-and-dime us. Weekly service was consistent and the detailed reports with photos after each visit are a nice touch. Closing was handled well. Would definitely recommend, and I’m sure I will work with them again next season.
We had a really difficult time trying to find someone to start up our new salt water hot tub but puddle pools responded and got someone out immediately! Jordan was SO helpful and had amazing attention to detail. It was my first time owning a hot tub and he explained everything to me and made the process much less intimidating. You guys saved me so much stress and did an amazing job, thank you so much!
Regan and Nicole were fantastic. Quick responses and fixed my pool very quickly. Helped with all my concerns and reasonably priced as well.
Regan and Gordon did an excellent job opening up our pool for the summer (including patiently walking us through what they were doing and tips for maintaining both our pool and hot tub). We look forward to working with them again!
we get our hot tub serviced by Regan and the weekly maintenance has been great! would definitely recommend!!
Fantastic experience! Professional team, great communication, and top-quality work. Our pool turned out even better than we imagined. Highly recommend!
Moved into a new home 4 months ago with a pool and hot tub which we have never had before. It has been a bit of a learning curve. Puddle pools has great service and is very responsive. Got our pool going right away while we were waiting for our landlord to get a hot tub cover so we can start getting Puddle Pools to service it/clean it so we can start using it. By the time our landlord received the replacement hot tub cover we were deep into winter and the team at Puddle Pools not once gave up on helping to try and get it working despite how cold it is (negative temps) not to mention the insane amount of snow we felt defeated and advised the office to cancel our appointment, that we would just wait until the snow melted yet Reagan still showed up in a full snowsuit ready to belly climb under our deck to do what needed to be done. We appreciate the customer service from this company and look forward to hopefully years of working together!
I think I speak on behalf of all the residents here of the joy and wonderful experience of having Alex service our pools! A guy with a big heart and such a professional attitude towards he’s work. He takes great pride in what he does and the results show in our pools!! We can’t wait to see him again! Bravo to Alex 👏👏
First year to use Puddle Pools to do some work. Install a new salt system (good job) and close my pool for the season. We have used many pool services and Puddle Pools were easily the best. The closing was not just closing the pool, but also ensuring the pool itself was as clean as reasonably possible. Other vendors might do a superficial job, but Ryan and Regan went right at it, saving a lot of work for me in the spring. Both gentleman are very friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Extend that to Rachel and Lindsay in the office as well, quite helpful and nice to deal with.
