When to Book Pool Closing in Newmarket
No one wants to admit that summer is coming to an end but when temperatures begin to cool it is an unfortunate reality. You can throw on an extra sweater or scarf but your swimming pool is left out in the cold — literally! Cold weather might be a pain for us but it is a serious danger to pools and their internal water systems. Improper closures can have serious consequences so call Puddle for your Newmarket pool closing services.
When you want to winterize your pool it isn’t as simple as throwing on a pool cover and walking away. During the off-season the primary threat to swimming pools is freezing. Sub-zero temperatures make plastic brittle and cause water to freeze. Frozen water expands up to 9% which might not seem like much but it is enough to cause pipes to burst. Protect your pool from the winter weather by calling a local Puddle Pro.
The 15-Degree Rule: When to Schedule Your Newmarket Pool Closing
Many pool owners choose to shut down water systems following the September long weekend but this might not be the ideal time to close. Closing down too early can mean missing out on the last warm days of summer while waiting too long can mean dealing with damage. Instead of focusing on an exact date, the best time to close your pool is when the average outdoor temperature reaches 15 degrees.
In order to keep your inground pool running smoothly all year long , it is important to protect it from the cold and that means taking a multi-step approach when closing. Puddle technicians have spent years perfecting their pool closing techniques and it all starts with dropping the water level. Pools should always be cleaned before a closing in order to avoid unnecessary contaminants and then the fun can begin!
It is important to drop the pool water level so it falls a couple of inches below the skimmer line. This, combined with winterizing plugs prevents water from seeping into sensitive areas where it can freeze and cause damage. If small amounts of water are left to sit inside return lines or in plumbing lines, it will freeze over quickly and cause breakage. Flushing lines prevents sitting water.
Once water levels are dropped and internal systems are secured it is time for an application of specially developed winter pool chemicals. This treatment not only prevents freezing, it goes a long way in preventing algae growth as well. Protecting internal components and equipment should always be a top priority and this is best done by removing detachable components so they can be dried and stored for the winter. It is also a good idea to assess the condition of your filtration system.
A proper pool closing not only protects your swim space throughout the off-season, it makes future pool openings easier as well. Instead of pulling back a pool cover to discover a swamp, have an experienced technician shut down your system properly.
The Puddle Pro Advantage: Fully Insured Winterization for Your Peace of Mind
When closing down your pool for the off-season a basic test kit won’t help. A proper closure takes time, energy, tools and technical skill and our Puddle Pros have it all! Instead of struggling through trial and error or dealing with the aftermath of a DIY disaster just call a local pool specialist. Each member of the Puddle team is local to the Newmarket area so we know what your pool needs and when. By offering reliable, affordable and efficient fall pool care for homes and businesses in Newmarket Puddle crews keep swim spaces in great shape all year long.
Newmarket Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
Where does water drained to a Newmarket storm grate end up?
The Town of Newmarket says water entering a storm sewer grate is not treated and all stormwater runoff in Newmarket eventually reaches Lake Simcoe. That is why pool water should never be sent to a storm drain without checking the rules first. Confirm with the Town before draining at closing or for a repair.
When should I open and close my pool in Newmarket?
Ontario pool guidance puts opening between late April and mid May and closing between mid September and mid October once water stays below about 15 C. The nearest Environment Canada normals station, Toronto Buttonville Airport, averages a last spring frost on May 3 and a first fall frost on October 13. With January nights averaging -10.1 C there, a proper closing protects plumbing and equipment.
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.
What does a professional closing include?
Balancing the water and adding winter treatment, lowering the water to the correct level, blowing out and plugging the lines and draining the pump, filter and heater. Accessories are removed and stored and the cover is fitted. The order matters, which is why it is done as one visit.
Should the pool be drained completely for winter?
No, and doing so can cause real damage. Water in the pool is part of what holds the structure in place against ground pressure, and an empty pool can shift or lift. The water level is lowered rather than emptied, which is a different thing.
Phil was fantastic to deal with!! Honest and trustworthy he does what he says I would only deal with this company moving forward 👍👍 thanks again for the pool liner and making the whole experience flawless!!
Puddle Pool Services has been amazing! They come every two weeks like clockwork and always leave my pool spotless. The team is professional, friendly, and really knows what they’re doing when it comes to pool chemistry. I’ve noticed a huge difference in how clean and balanced my pool has been since I started using their service. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pool maintenance!
First time calling Puddle Pools to open our pool and could not be happier with the excellent services provided by Phil and his team. We needed a small repair, as well, and Phil offered a fair price and was quick to return and have the pool up and running. He kindly answered all our questions and we will definitely use Puddle Pools for all our future pool needs!
I worked for Puddle Pools this season opening, closing and cleaning pools and it was an awesome experience! They always go above and beyond for their customers and the appreciation they have for customer satisfaction rubs off onto you. They are extremely knowledgeable in pools and there's a lot you can learn from them as an employee. Working outside on hot summer days by cool pools listening to tunes or chatting with Phil made it the best job l've had. For employees and customers, Phil and Puddle pools will guarantee you have a great experience.
Phil & team are AMAZING. I cannot even tell you how much they have made my life easier, and at a very affordable price! I used to spend so much time each week cleaning the pool and trying my best to balance it, and now I spend that time enjoying my pool instead! From always making sure our cocktail pool (pool that also can be used as a hot tub) is spic and span and perfectly balanced, to letting us know when it’s time to change the water (and of course, they do that for us too), to helping us troubleshoot the odd issue we’ve had, to even switching up schedule days when we found another day that worked better for us. They really do it all and have amazing customer service. After each service they send me a detailed email on what services were performed and what my chemical levels were, and if I need to wait a couple of hours before getting into the pool due to the chemistry fix. It’s a complete recap. Phil & team are always professional and super nice & responsive to any questions. I’m excited to have them continue maintaining our hot tub as we go into the colder months. We know we’re in great hands with them. So what are you waiting for? You’ve found the best pool/hot tub cleaning services company out there. Just call them for a quote!
Phil and team are awesome. I was in a pinch, and they made time to help us out of our predicament. This customer first approach is fleeting today, however Puddle Pool Services delivers on all accounts. If you’re looking for an honest, old school approach to your pool services, do not hesitate to call them. I’ve tried other companies, and Puddle Pool Services gets the first call every time.
