Pool Opening in Maple Ridge, BC
Throughout the year, the needs of a swimming pool change drastically. During spring and summer, weekly maintenance and water testing are a must but during the fall and winter, your pool does not get the attention that it deserves. On the first day of spring, it is tempting to remove the cover, shock your pool and dive on in, but a proper opening is not so simple! Calling a professional for your Maple Ridge pool opening means access to top tools and equipment, customized treatment plans and fully insured services, as well as great results every time.
The secret to any great pool opening service is a multi-step approach. Each step of a seasonal pool treatment should focus on a variety of factors, including: water chemistry, pool equipment, surrounding areas and structures. It takes hours of hard labour and a financial investment to clean pool water, but there isn’t much point in putting in this effort if your filtration system is struggling. When you want to open your pool property and make the most out of the swim season, call a Puddle Pro for the best possible results.
Save Time and Money with a Professional Multi-Step Opening
There are many moving parts that go into keeping a pool system running. Everything from the water levels, pool filter, motor and chemical levels play a huge role in the overall condition of a swim space. Missing just one step in the opening process can result in costly damage and the need for expensive repairs. Hiring a specialist for your pool care means never missing a step.
In-Depth Pool Cleaning: Plenty of property owners have a handy pool vacuum at the ready. Simple skimmers can help to scoop up floating debris from water surfaces, but once it has sunken down, getting rid of unwanted items becomes a lot more difficult. A vacuum can help to reach those tough places but it can’t clean away residue or check filters for you. A professional pool service cleans the structures around your water system, but it also digs deep to reveal clogs or blockages within filtration and circulation systems.
Water Chemistry: Without the right balance of chemicals, swimmers are at risk. Testing kits are a dime a dozen at hardware and pool supply stores, and while these are great for detailing chlorine levels, they don’t account for everything. When you want to keep swimmers safe, it is important to monitor pH levels, alkalinity and, after sitting idle over long periods, address any algae growth that has formed. Puddle technicians can apply pool chemicals, balance water and ensure that anyone stepping into your water system is safe from contaminants.
Pool Equipment & Liners: Regular inspections are an important part of pool care. Vinyl liners are commonly used in pools, but these do not come without a bit of risk. After long periods of disuse, there might be small tears in a liner or areas that have become worn down. Noticing these early on can help to prevent large-scale damage and flooding. Pool specialists know which areas of your pool system are the most at risk and are able to identify pain points before you are dealing with a full blown disaster.

Maple Ridge Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a new pool fence need to be inspected before filling in Maple Ridge?
Yes. The Maple Ridge building bylaw requires the fencing, barrier or cover to be inspected and approved by a Building Official before the pool is filled. A pool permit is needed for in ground, above ground and indoor pools and for hot tubs, except self contained hot tubs with a locking cover. Check with the City building department before a new pool or hot tub goes in.
Can I fill my pool during watering restrictions in Maple Ridge?
Maple Ridge enforces the Metro Vancouver water restriction stages through its Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 7425-2018. Stages 1 and 2 do not restrict filling pools and hot tubs. Stage 3 prohibits filling or topping up residential pools and hot tubs, while Stage 4 prohibits it for all pools including those with a health authority operating permit. Check the City posted stage before filling in summer.
When should I close my pool in Maple Ridge?
A Lower Mainland pool company that lists Maple Ridge among its locations recommends closing late September to mid October once water stays below about 15 C, warning that closing too late risks freeze damage to plumbing and equipment. Environment Canada normals for Haney East put the mean first fall frost around late October and record about 70 days a year with a minimum at or below 0 C.
When should a pool be opened for the season?
Earlier than most people expect. Once daytime temperatures rise consistently, algae starts growing under the cover whether the pool is open or not, and a pool opened after that has begun is more work to clear than one opened before. Opening before you intend to swim also leaves time to deal with anything the winter has damaged.
What happens during a pool opening?
The cover comes off and is cleaned and stored, winter plugs are removed and the equipment is reassembled and restarted. The water level is brought up and the system is run while the water is tested and balanced. Any damage found from the winter is reported at that point rather than discovered mid season.
Kat and her team are the best, ive tried other companies and none come close to what they offer.
Been using Puddle Pools for over 2 years now. Great service. Always keep my hot tub super clean. Wouldn’t use anyone else!
I been using Puddle pools for cleaning my pool for a year now. It's been great experience. Highly recommend 👌
We have been using Puddle pool for 2 years now and it has been great. The service and communication is great. Luke does an amazing job of making sure the water in the pool is clean and safe to use. We love using our pool in the summer.
I was very happy with the service received from Kat at Puddle Pools. It was the first time I had used the company and it was peak-summer. Despite that, my call was replied to quickly and a visit to view the pool soon followed. The problem was discussed in order to isolate the issue and the remedy proposed, which has eliminated the issue.
We are newbies to owning a pool so needless to say it was pretty daunting to navigate through the maintenance. We feel very fortunate to have met Kat Lopez who not only helped explained the process, but walked us through it step by step. She is very patient and prompt in replying to queries. She would arrive on time when she said she would, efficient in using her time whenever she is onsite. She also provides a detailed report after every appointment so there was no second guessing on what was accomplished. Talk about professionalism at its best! The rates are reasonable. Our family is grateful we came across Puddle Pools! The rates are reasonable. We are happy to support a local business. We hope the owners know how fortunate they are to have Kat on their team! Thank you for all your help, Kat!
