Mississauga Pool Closing, Step by Step
Ontario is known for its frigid winters and Mississauga is no exception. Even if you love living in a winter wonderland, your swimming pool does not. Freezing temperatures can take a serious toll on pool systems, causing damage to key components and leading to the need for expensive repairs and replacements. Don’t wait for a worst-case scenario when you can call a Puddle Pro for your Mississauga pool closing, instead!
Taking the time to close your pool during the fall season not only helps to protect your structures and internal mechanisms, it prolongs the lifespan of each component and can help with easier openings in spring. When you want to make the most out of the swimming season, it is important to start in the fall!
Expert Winterization: Preventing Frozen Pipes and Costly Winter Damage
Throughout Ontario, property owners understand how important weather proofing really is. As temperatures drop, water begins to freeze. It is annoying enough to have ice spreading out across walkways but it is downright dangerous when it happens in your pool system. Frozen water expands up to 9% and while that doesn’t seem like a high number, it can cause major issues in pipes. Expansion in pipes can lead to warping materials and can even lead to a burst pipe, water stains, flooded structures and other unexpected — and expensive! — issues.
Dropping the water level in an in-ground pool so it falls below the jets and skimmer lines is a good way to prevent water from reaching vulnerable areas. Winterizing drain plugs prevents water from seeping into these same areas, eliminating the risk of damage caused by freezing water around the motor, pool pump, filter and more. In an above ground pool, installing water bags can help to prevent freezing and can be combined with pool antifreeze.
You might be quick to skim water surfaces during the swim season but when pools are used less frequently, this stops being a priority but debris is still a reality. Letting debris sit in skimmer baskets will lead to rot while free-floating items will break down over time and cause clogs in filtration systems. Sunken debris will sit on the bottom of the pool, staining liners and leaving them looking awful.
Pool equipment is an important part of any fall pool care routine. Failing to remove pool vacuums or accessories will lead to damage. During the spring and summer, mesh covers will help to regulate heating by allowing sunlight to reach pool water. In the winter, it is better to have solid covers that restrict light penetration as this creates an ideal space for algae growth and bacteria to thrive.
When it comes time to open your pool, there is a lot of work involved. Restoring water chemistry is a multi-step approach spread out over a couple of days. A basic test kit might help to spot issues with chlorine levels but not with in-depth chemical treatments necessary for a proper opening.

Mississauga Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
When should I close my pool in Mississauga?
The mean first fall frost at Toronto Pearson is October 16, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada. Closing usually falls between mid September and mid October once water drops below 15°C. City of Mississauga guidance for chlorinated inground pools is to lower the water four to six inches below the skimmer to prevent freeze damage, with any non toxic antifreeze in disconnected piping removed before spring start up.
Can I drain my pool into the street in Mississauga?
Only under the conditions in Mississauga's Storm Sewer Use By-law 0046-2022. Chlorinated pool water must sit at least 7 days after the last chemical treatment, meet the by-law's chlorine, copper and pH limits and be released slowly to the curb in front of your own property, not within 24 hours of a storm. Salt water pools and spas must go to an indoor sanitary drain instead, so confirm with the City of Mississauga before draining.
Which Mississauga neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Mississauga, including Clarkson, Lorne Park, Mississauga Valley, Square One District, Brampton (South/Main St) and Conservation Park Area. The full list of areas is on our Mississauga page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
Why does a pool need closing rather than just covering?
Because the damage winter causes is done by water left in the plumbing and equipment, not by the pool being uncovered. Water expands as it freezes, which is what cracks pipes, pumps, filters and heaters. Closing is mainly about getting water out of the places it should not be and leaving the remaining water treated.
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.
I hired Puddle Pools for my opening and closing and throughly impressed with their service Amazing company to work with!!! Very friendly and hardworking people.
So we looked heavily for a new company and found Puddle Pool services. They did everything they said they would in their services. The detailed list and cost was extremely helpful. Nims was/is very responsive and helpful with any questions, his crew did an exceptional job. They followed up two days later as stated in the service to vacuum and balance the water, and came on a day I genuinely weren't expecting them to due to the weather. Thoroughly impressed. Thank you
They measured, build and install a beautiful pool cover for my large L shape pool based on my special requests, very fast and reasonable price. Since then they have been very responsive to other requests and even questions. Amazing team! I highly recommend them.
I am so grateful for Nims and his technicians! All his technicians are certified. Bhav was our technician and he has identified and fixed issues that had cost me thousands of dollars to repair but would only last temporarily because they didn’t get to the root cause. The team take pride in their work and won’t find things to bill you needlessly. In fact, their fees are exceptional for the stellar service they provide! I had almost given up on a good pool company until I came across Puddle Pool Services. I have had a pool for over 10 years and I have very high standards for the “health”of my pool. Most services hire teenagers who are less experienced and don’t come back the next season. Nims team are top rate.
We had a great experience with Puddle Pools. Nims installed a new pool heater and pump, fixed several leaks, and serviced our sand cartridge filter. He was professional, efficient, and great to work with. Nims remains easy to reach for any questions that come up and always has a solution or can connect us with someone who does. Everything is running smoothly — 20/10 recommend!
Puddle Pool did a great job getting our pool crystal clear and clean. Would happily recommend them to anyone looking to have their pool serviced.
