Pool Closing in New Westminster, BC
New Westminster might offer beautiful views of the Fraser River but you can’t swim in it! When you want to beat the heat in summer, a backyard pool is an excellent way of doing that. It is easy to enjoy a swim space when the sun is out but when the weather cools, they can become a burden. Instead of delaying your fall pool care, handle it head-on with a bit of help from a Puddle Pro. Professional New Westminster pool closing services protect pools from the cold, prolongs the lifespan of your water systems and lets owners relax and enjoy the fall season. When you are looking for affordable rates, excellent results and expert customer service, our Puddle Pros have got you covered!
The most common reasons to close your pool are to winterize swimming pools or prepare for long periods of disuse. If you are getting ready to have an extended vacation, closing your swim space is a better option than letting it sit stagnant. Without expert pool services you can expect algae growth, damage and a whole lot of headaches. Ditch the risk of amateur care, or no care at all, and call a Puddle technician.
How Professional Pool Care Benefits Your Swim Space
Every year, pool owners try to take pool cleaning into their own hands. While a DIY approach might seem to be a cost-effective alternative to hiring a cleaning company, this isn’t always the case — particularly when it comes time to winterize your pool. A DIY approach to closing a pool for the season can lead to serious issues in spring. Expert pool care takes a multi-step, catered approach to address the unique features of your swimming pool.
Filters & Equipment: Freezing temperatures make plastic brittle and cause damage to internal mechanisms and components. A functional filtration and circulation system is necessary to keeping water clean. During a pool closing, detachable components should be removed, dried and stored for the winter. Winterizing drain plugs is another efficient way to keep water out of sensitive areas. The additional step to blow out the lines and removing water prevents freezing.
Pool Water: Keeping your pool covered during the winter is a no-brainer but it makes it more difficult to assess the condition of pool water. Applying winterizing chemicals can help to reduce the rate of algae growth and prevent freezing during extreme temperatures. It is also a good idea to drop water levels to fall below jets and skimmers, preventing freezing inside systems.
Visual Inspections: A trained eye can spot small issues before they turn into disasters. For example, a shift in temperature can have a big impact on your pool. A small tear in a vinyl liner will grow and become worse. Having an expert close your pool means having a trained eye overseeing these areas, pointing out problem areas and organizing small repairs so they don’t become disasters.
In addition to inspections and treatments, Puddle technicians offer helpful tips and tricks to protect pools, while preventing algae. Something as simple as switching out mesh spring covers for solid winter covers can reduce growth rates by restricting the amount of sunlight and heat that is able to reach water.
The Puddle Guarantee: Protecting Pools Through the Winter
In an environment like the Canada Games Pool or an aquatic and community centre, there are whole teams working on pool care and maintenance throughout the year. For smaller areas and residential pools, owners are often left on their own and that makes closures a serious pain. Unlike using a test kit to manage water chemistry during the summer months but closing down for winter requires more than a quick look at chlorine levels.
After years of experience in the industry, our Puddle technicians know that all the different components of your pool work together, so we provide insight into liners, return lines, pool pumps, cartridge or sand filters and more. Each member of the team is fully insured to protect pools, properties and surrounding areas.
New Westminster Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a safety cover need anything over winter?
It is worth clearing heavy accumulations of leaves, snow or standing water where you can do so safely from the edge, since sustained weight shortens a cover's life and stresses its anchors. Never walk on a cover to do it. If something looks wrong, it is better checked than guessed at.
What is a plumbing blow out?
It uses high volume air to clear water out of the underground lines, so there is nothing left in them to freeze and crack the pipes over winter.
Do you use antifreeze in the lines?
Yes, where it is needed. After the blow out, winter plugs go in and non toxic antifreeze is added to critical lines as extra protection against freezing.
How do I know the pool was closed properly?
You get an E-Report confirmation with time stamped photos of the lines being winterized and the cover being secured.
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.
Great service! We had Matt come over to drain and refill the hot tub. He also washed the whole tub and balanced the chemicals. Definitely would recommend!
These ladies are amazing! Identified the problem, ordered the new part and quickly got out to do the repair. Both Staci and Lola were professional and personable…a rare combination these days. I highly recommend this company
We rented our house and needed a hot tub cleaning service asap. I called PPS and they responded to the urgency of our situation right away. Throughout the rental period PPS was extremely flexible and offered after hours contact through text. Their service is very professional and met the needs of an extreme picky house guest. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing a hot tub cleaning service.
We did call Puddle's for a inspection and the guy Yuvi told us exactly what needs to be done no left or right just direct things that needed to solved and we liked them and overall Management ia soo good. Pricing wise super fair even though it's Vancouver lol!
I don't know much about but a guy name Yuvi youngman seems so professional and he's the one we been looking for he's the best and yeah he's a part of Puddle's so i will recommend this company highly. Thanks again to the Management Miss Tina and Yuvi.
Puddle Pools might be the only company in the Vancouver area that services inflatable spas. I contacted five other companies, and they were the only ones willing to help. On top of that, they were professional, prompt, and reasonably priced, especially compared to how much others charge for leak detection in pools and hot tubs. I’d definitely use their services again.

Our family just can't say enough good things about Puddle Pool Services. We had a terrible provider before - completely unresponsive, often a no show, chaotic invoicing, and no reporting. What a difference with Puddle Pools! As soon as our account was set up we were on a weekly schedule and it was like clockwork! The technicians are completely reliable, thorough, and send a report after each visit with check marks for what was done for servicing, short notes, and pictures. Talk about over the top service. This past week we had a pipe joint fail in the poolhouse and we were away. Our caretaker noticed it right away and Puddle Pools had someone out the next day to check and find out what they needed to bring the next day for repairs. They turned off the pump to protect it while the caretaker refilled the pool and then came back the next day to turn it on. What could have been an expensive disaster was all taken care of. The stress relief this provided was huge! We love, love, love Puddle Pools. Thank you, Travis!
Kat from Puddle Pool Services is great. She’s punctual, thorough and always does a great job. My pool and spa have never looked better!
