Pool Maintenance in Maple Ridge, BC
No matter how much you might enjoy a pool over the Summer months, closing down is a pain! When weather begins to cool, it is important to act quickly to protect your water feature and Puddle Pool crews are committed to getting the job done. Whether closing down for winter or opening up in Spring, expert Maple Ridge seasonal pool maintenance gets the job done right.
Proper care for pools and spas means treating water but it also means monitoring pH levels, sanitizers, caring for structures and pool equipment, along with regular inspection of filters and circulation systems. This is a long list at any time of year, but it is no problem for Puddle Pool experts.
The Do’s & Do Not’s of Seasonal Pool Care
Your swimming pool requires regular cleaning and care throughout the year but it takes more than a few minutes with a skimmer to keep your system running smoothly. In order to keep pools in the best possible condition, it is important to close down and open your pool in the right way.
DON’T: Get Stuck On Water Balance: Plenty of pool owners are quick to reach for test kits or strips in order to assess water chemistry. These testers are the most basic way to assess sanitizer and chlorine levels but they are not able to prevent algae, scrub surfaces or inspect filters. Instead of focusing solely on your pool’s water, it is important to consider the other moving parts of your system.
DON’T: Ignore Filters and Debris: Pool filters function behind the scenes so it is easy to ignore him. Skimming surfaces might help to ditch debris but if filters become clogged, these will be the least of your worries. Without regular inspection, filters can become clogged or necessary pieces can become cracked or damaged. Keep an eye on these areas and guarantee success for your space.
DO: Pay Attention to Equipment and Fixtures: The pool cleaning process means caring for tools and equipment. Skimmer baskets, vacuums and even pool toys must be removed during closings to avoid damage. High alkalinity is corrosive and can damage metals around ladders and hardware.
DO: Look for Algae: When opening a pool for Summer, there is a good chance that algae will be present in your system in one area or another. Water levels are dropped during closings but not always completely emptied, depending on your system. A shock treatment can help to combat any unwanted growth, and scrubbing can help to clear away residue for a clean slate.

Maple Ridge Pool Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Maple Ridge tap water hard or soft for a pool?
The City of Maple Ridge distributes Metro Vancouver water from the Coquitlam Lake source, which averaged 2.4 mg/L hardness as CaCO3 (range 2.2 to 2.7) in the GVWD 2025 Water Quality Annual Report, about 0.1 grains per gallon. That is extremely soft, softer than the Capilano and Seymour water used in much of the region. With alkalinity near 20 mg/L as well, calcium hardness and alkalinity in pool and hot tub water usually need to be raised after a fill.
Where can I drain my pool in Maple Ridge?
On lots with municipal sanitary sewer, the Maple Ridge building bylaw requires the backwash pump to connect to the sanitary sewer and drained pool water to go to the sanitary sewer by pumped connection at no more than 2 litres per second. Lots without sanitary sewer need safe discharge works such as a rock pit at least 30 m from a septic field or watercourse. The water must not cause erosion or increased flows into watercourses. Confirm with the City before draining.
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.
How long should the pump run each day?
Long enough to turn over the pool's full volume, which depends on the size of the pool and the capacity of the pump rather than on a single rule. Running it too little is the most common cause of water that will not stay clear, while running it longer than needed mainly costs electricity. Your technician can tell you what is right for your setup.
Is maintenance still needed if the pool is not being used?
Yes. Standing, untreated water is more work to recover than water that has been kept balanced, and equipment that sits idle without being run or properly shut down is where problems develop quietly. A pool that is out of use either needs maintaining or needs closing properly.
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!
