North Vancouver Pool Closing, Step by Step
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.

North Vancouver Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I drain a pool in the City of North Vancouver?
The City's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Requirements handout says an emptied pool must be siphoned to the sanitary sewer, not discharged to the ground or the storm sewer. Confirm with the City before draining.
Can I drain pool water to the storm sewer in the District of North Vancouver?
District of North Vancouver Sewer Bylaw 6656, section 7, limits the storm sewer to storm water or clear water waste. No pool specific drainage clause was found for the District, so contact the District before draining to confirm where your pool water should go.
How wet are North Vancouver winters for pool owners?
Very wet. Environment Canada 1981 to 2010 normals for North Vancouver Second Narrows show about 1,831 mm of precipitation a year, with about 293 mm in November and 262 mm in January against about 53 mm in July, plus about 25 cm of snow. Upslope neighbourhoods get more snow than the waterfront, so a proper closing and a secure cover matter here.
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.
Amazing pool company. I’ve had some bad POOL SERVICES in the past. Very reliable. They do a great job servicing your pool and are available in any emergency situation I would highly recommend
Very helpful and efficient service. They did a change out of the sand for our sand filter, and even when they had to do a bit extra labour as not everything was as expected with the inside of the filter chamber, we were still invoiced the original quoted amount which was really decent! Mike and Ciara were pleasant and cheerful to deal with, and gave helpful advice to get our cloudy pool water back to sparkling. Really great team!
We recently had our pool cleaned by Puddle Pool Services, as we do every spring. The great quality of the work was performed by their capable team! I would recommend Puddle Pool Services to anyone who needs a hand with their pool cleaning!
Gabriel has by far given us the best pool service. Very punctual and respectful. We have been told many times that we have a troubled pool with algae growing between services. Ever since Puddle Pool Services started servicing us in our house in West Vancouver - we have a beautiful pool with no issues!
Gabriel was easy to deal with and responsive. Arrived at stated time and was professional. Planning to use Puddle pool Services next year again. I would highly recommend them if you needed anything around your pool done.
