Booking Pool Opening in Newmarket
After a long winter there is nothing that pool owners want more than to fire up their water systems for use but there is a lot of work to do before you can dive on in. If your pool has been sitting stagnant for months during the fall and winter, you are likely going to pull back your pool cover to find a swamp! Stepping into dirty water is a recipe for disaster, so let a professional clean it for you. Let a local Puddle technician handle your Newmarket pool opening so you can cannonball safely into the swim season.
Proper spring pool care is not as simple as pulling back winter covers and applying a shock treatment. In order to get the best results it is important to clean your pool from top to bottom, inside and out. Taking an amateur approach to your pool opening doesn’t just produce subpar results, it takes a long time. While you are busy trying to balance water and remove debris, you are missing out on the first warm days of spring. By letting a Puddle technician open your pool you get all the benefits without any of the hassle, so you can make the most out of the swim season.
Restoring Your Backyard Oasis: The Puddle Multi-Step Pool Opening Process
If you find yourself removing your pool cover only to find cloudy or discoloured water, algae growth and a ton of debris, a shock treatment won’t be enough to restore water condition. The best way to open your pool for the season is to undo the closing process, and then break the cleaning process down into multiple steps, each of which treats a different area of your swim space.
Undo Your Closing: Proper pool closings involve dropping water levels and winterizing drain plugs. Opening your water systems for the season means grabbing a garden hose and refilling the water level and opening plugs. This is also the ideal time to change out solid winter covers for mesh pool covers that will help with heating your water.
Ditch Debris: Even with a cover on, unwanted items have a way of making their way into your pool and water systems. This means dealing with months of leaves, seed pods, dirt and debris collected at the bottom of your pool, floating along water surfaces and clogging up skimmer baskets. Manual vacuums are needed to reach into corners or navigate complicated areas around built-in steps, specialty brushes remove residue from water lines and skimmer poles are needed to scoop up floating items.
Restore Water Condition: When opening a swim space for the season it is incredibly important to make sure that water is properly cleaned and balanced. When dealing with a high rate of contaminants a basic test kit isn’t enough to get the right results. An initial shock treatment might help to clear away cloudiness for a superficial improvement but this doesn’t mean that water is safe to swim in. It will take multiple applications of specialized pool chemicals to create a clean swim space. These chemical treatments take time to settle in and take effect. From there, technicians will perform a final balancing of chlorine levels, pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium for perfect water chemistry.
Check Pool Equipment: After months of disuse it is important to inspect pool equipment for any signs of weakening or breakage. This includes your cover, pump, pool filter and return lines. If any detachable components were removed for storage over the off-season they will need to be reinstalled and tested for functionality.
Fast, Reliable Start-Ups: Schedule Your Spring Pool Opening Today
Managing swimming pools is a complex process at the best of times and it is even worse during a changing of the season. There is a big difference between trying to navigate test strips and having your water tested by an expert. When you want the best results, ditch the DIY and call a local Puddle technician for reliable, timely and affordable pool openings.
Each member of the Puddle team is local to Newmarket and the surrounding area, so we know what your pool is up against. By offering options for seasonal care as well as routine cleaning programs, pool inspections, pool leak detection services and deep cleans, there is never a bad time to call a Puddle Pro. In fact, with options for booking online or by phone you can book a Puddle service 24 hours a day.
Newmarket Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions
Why can fill water look discoloured or cloudy in Newmarket?
The Town of Newmarket says its hard water carries minerals including iron that cause discolouration. It adds that brief cloudiness from air in the pipes is a side effect of hard water. York Region's quarterly data show average iron of 0.103 mg/L in Newmarket compared with 0.013 mg/L in Aurora. Testing fresh fill water at opening helps catch mineral issues before they affect the pool or hot tub.
Are there outdoor water limits that affect filling a pool in Newmarket?
York Region's outdoor water use summary says Newmarket allows outdoor water use from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on odd or even days all year round. It does not mention pool filling, so confirm with the Town before a large fill. A pool that needs frequent top ups may have a leak worth testing for.
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.
Why does the water look green or cloudy when the cover comes off?
Water that has sat under a cover all winter often has some algae and debris in it, even after a good closing. The opening shock and balancing start clearing it, and the filtration finishes the job over the following days.
Will I get a report after the opening?
Yes. You receive a digital report showing your equipment is running, with photos and the initial water readings.
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.
