Commercial Pool Services
Pools at condominiums, apartments and facilities see heavier use than a backyard pool, so service is built around more frequent testing and closer attention to the equipment.

Our services
Pool Services Oshawa Residents Trust
Hot Tub Maintenance
Hot tubs are used all year, so they need care all year. Service covers the water and the filters and checks the jets, pumps and heater, and the water also needs draining and refilling from time to time, since dissolved solids build up and cannot be filtered out.
Pool Cleaning
Weekly service through the summer covers the water, the surfaces and the equipment in one visit: skimming, brushing the walls and steps, vacuuming the floor, emptying the skimmer and pump baskets, checking the filter and testing and balancing the water.
Pool Closing
Fall closing protects the pool and its equipment through the freeze: balancing the water for winter, lowering the level, blowing out and plugging the lines, draining and protecting the equipment and fitting the cover.
Pool Inspections
An inspection looks at the pool, its equipment and its water before you buy a home or when you want to know where things stand.
Leak Detection
If the water level keeps dropping faster than evaporation explains, drops even with the pump off or you are adding water every few days, leak detection uses pressure testing on the plumbing lines and dye testing at fittings, lights, skimmers and returns to find where water is escaping, without digging.
Pool Opening
Spring opening gets the pool from winter to swim ready: removing and cleaning the cover, reconnecting and starting the pump, filter and heater, clearing out debris, brushing and vacuuming, and testing and balancing the water for the season.
Residential Pool Services
Backyard pools get one local team for the whole year, from spring opening and weekly cleaning to fall closing.
Pool Maintenance
Seasonal maintenance keeps the equipment and the water in shape between the big jobs, with regular checks of the pump, filter and heater and the chemistry adjusted as the weather changes.
Water Feature Maintenance
Fountains, waterfalls and other water features need the same attention to water quality and circulation as a pool, on a regular schedule so the water stays clear and the pumps keep running.

Pool Care in Oshawa’s Climate
A short, busy season
Environment Canada’s 1991 to 2020 normals for the Oshawa station show a July average high of 25.7 C and a January average low of minus 8.9 C. Pools here are opened in spring and closed in fall, and both visits matter because the equipment has to get through months below freezing.
Closing before the freeze
Any water left in the lines, pump, filter or heater can freeze and crack them over the winter, which is why a proper closing blows out and plugs the lines and drains and protects the equipment before the first hard frosts.
Your fill water
Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering share one Durham Region drinking water system, which draws from Lake Ontario through the Oshawa Water Supply Plant. Calcium and pH are tested on every visit so the water stays balanced.
Fence rules
Oshawa’s Pool Enclosure By-law 79-2006 requires a permit for any pool deeper than 0.6 metres and a permanent enclosure at least 1.5 metres high. Whitby, Ajax and Pickering have their own by-laws, so check with your town before the season.
Just had a visit from George from Puddle Pool Services and was so grateful for his approach, communication and suggestions for maintenance. It wasn't a easy job in accessing the panel and he was gracious in taking the necessary steps and putting everything back in place. The next day check in to make sure everything is working well is just a superior customer service. Thank you again.
George from Puddle pools has been an amazing company to deal with.. their customer service is top notch and they have kept our pool and hot tub running perfectly ! Anyone looking for a great worry free pool company.. look no further than Puddle pools and a big shout out to Maddy one of the amazing techs who looks after us regularly:)
George and his team are excellent! Super happy with their regular maintenance service for my pool and hot tub. Kids are happy and I am thrilled!
Puddle pools was fantastic to work with - especially as I am a new pool owner - they handled everything with ease and made sure to explain everything to me. Excellent experience - I highly recommend them!
George was very friendly and helpful all season helping us with our pool Opening, pool closing, weekly maintenance and caulking repairs! He is a great communicator and always texts before with the time frame he plans to arrive. He is knowledgeable and answered all my questions about pool repairs. We recommend George and his team to anyone looking for reliable, affordable pool maintenance!
Very satisfied with all the services provided. George and his team are very professional and kept us informed on weekly cleaning visits. They did a very clean and organized closing. I will definitely be using them seasonally for now on.

Oshawa pool service questions
When should I open and close my pool in Oshawa?
Most Oshawa area pools open in May and close between late September and early October. Environment Canada’s normals for the Oshawa station put the typical last spring frost in early May and the first fall frost around October 10, so book your closing before hard frosts arrive.
Do you service Whitby, Ajax and Pickering?
Yes. Our team is based in Whitby and serves Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering, and you reach the same local team at 905-632-1059.
Do I need a permit for a pool fence in Oshawa?
Yes. Oshawa’s Pool Enclosure By-law 79-2006 requires a Pool Enclosure Permit for any pool deeper than 0.6 metres and sets a minimum permanent enclosure height of 1.5 metres.
Why does my pool need closing for the winter?
The Oshawa station’s January average low is minus 8.9 C. Water left in the lines, pump, filter or heater can freeze and crack them, so a closing blows out and plugs the lines and protects the equipment until spring.
Can you find a leak in my pool?
Yes. If your water level drops faster than evaporation explains, drops even with the pump off, or you are topping up every few days, leak detection uses pressure testing on the plumbing and dye testing at fittings, lights, skimmers and returns to find where water is escaping, without digging.
