North Vancouver Pool Closing Service

The higher up the mountain you go, the more you will experience winter. Snow-capped mountains might look beautiful but this type of weather is terrible for your pool. British Columbia might be known for mild winters but swimming pools are left out to the elements and that makes it more important than ever to close your pool for the cold season. Professional North Vancouver pool closings treat water, inspect equipment and protect pools from unexpected damage.

A proper closure is key to keeping your swimming pool in great shape all year. Missing just one aspect of a pool closing will have a ripple effect on your water systems throughout the year. The weather in North Vancouver can be temperamental. You might wake up with clear skies, sunshine and high temperatures only to finish the day with frost or snow. A single cold snap can cause lasting damage to an untreated pool, so it is always better to consult an expert.

Why Professional Pool Winterizing is Essential in North Van

Outdoor swimming pools often don’t get much attention when the fall season rolls around. For many homeowners, the way to shut down a pool for the off-season is to throw on winter covers and hope for the best. This seems like the easiest option but it is very bad for your systems. Leaving debris inside basins means rot, clogged filters and full skimmer baskets, while failing to apply winterizing chemicals can lead to freezing, cloudiness and being overrun with algae blooms.

When you’ve got your pool covered, it is impossible to see what sort of condition it is in. Frozen water makes plastic components brittle and expands in pipes, leading them to burst. Cold weather is a danger to pools of all shapes and sizes, so it is important to create a treatment plan customized to the needs of your swim space. Professional pool closing services create customized treatment plans and break them down into a multi-step approach that services swimming pools inside and out.

Servicing Pool Water: During the swim season preventing algae and keeping water clean is a top priority but when the weather gets cold, water chemistry is often neglected. Going into winter, it is important to reduce your risk of algae growth through chemical treatments, as well as debris removal and other key factors. Puddle technicians drop water levels to prevent water from seeping into sensitive areas. Winterizing drain plugs stops water from reaching vulnerable spaces where it can freeze and cause damage.

Pool Equipment: Tools and equipment should make managing your water systems easier but this only works if they are in good, working order. Each tool or piece of equipment plays a role in the overall condition of your swim space. For example, a mesh pool cover is great for summer because it helps to heat pool water. During the winter, sunlight hitting pool water can help to increase the risk of algae growth. Something as simple as installing solid winter covers can help to preserve water condition.

Filters & Mechanisms: Winter takes a toll on pool condition but if components are already damaged or worn down, you can expect serious issues. Taking the additional step to blow out the lines of your water systems reduces the risk of damage caused by frozen water. Closings are also an ideal time to remove detachable components to be dried and stored for the winter, as well as check up on sand filters or cartridge filters.
