I’ve had Puddle Pools open and close my above ground pool twice now. They also replaced an old pump, serviced the filter, and made a few other minor repairs. It’s an older pool but running quite well now. Every time they were friendly and professional, happy to answer my many questions as an inexperienced pool owner. Highly recommend.
We had a great experience, our pool was green and not getting better after several attempts of testing with pool stores and treating, the tech from Puddle was very knowledgeable and helpful and great at explaining what had happened and exactly what we needed to do to fix it, after following his instructions our pool came back to life quickly was a great experience from first email, quote, tech visit and even after visit kept answering emails and providing advice
Highly recommend
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Puddle Pool Services. James, Zach and Richard were professional and attentive. Their attention to detail was unmatched, when installing our new pool liner. We are so glad we found Puddle Pools and recommend their services to anyone!
5 stars, wish I could give more!

Puddle Pool Services has been the best pool company we’ve ever used. I only wish I’d discovered them sooner! From start to finish, their team delivers exceptional care, expertise, and friendliness.

Richard is an absolute pleasure to work with—always arriving with a smile and tackling every task with skill and professionalism. I genuinely look forward to having him open and close our pool each season, and he never hesitates to answer questions or offer thoughtful advice.

Likewise, Zach has gone above and beyond for us on numerous occasions. He’s prompt, communicative, and always ready with frank, honest guidance. His responsiveness and positive attitude make every interaction a delight.

Thank you, Puddle Pool Services! I’ve already recommended you to friends and family, and I will continue to do so without hesitation.

🌊 Five Stars Just Isn't Enough for Puddle Pools! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We recently made the switch to Puddle Pools Ottawa for both our salt water pool and hot tub — and let me just say, it’s been a total game-changer.

After returning from an extended trip to Jamaica, we came back to a hot tub that had been left unattended and needed some serious TLC. The Puddle team jumped in right away and brought it back to life like absolute pros. Then came our pool opening in May, and again — flawless. From start to finish, they’ve made the whole experience not just smooth, but actually enjoyable.

What sets them apart? The details. After each visit, they send us a full report of what was done, leave us with all the right chemicals and products to keep things in top shape, and best of all — they go above and beyond with the little touches. One day we came home to find a puffer fish squishy left in our driveway as a fun surprise for our family. Who does that? Legends, that’s who.

We used to go with a more well-known local company, but honestly... they just weren’t on their game. Puddle Pools is next level — reliable, friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do.

If you're in Ottawa and want pool or hot tub service done right, do yourself a favour and call Puddle. You won't look back. 💦🐠💙

Ottawa Pool Closing

Throughout the winter months, Ottawa becomes a snowy wonderland. As beautiful as fresh snow fall might be, it can quickly become a pain for property owners. Spending hours shovelling walkways and de-icing sidewalks doesn’t leave much time for pool care. Shutting down your water systems in fall can help to protect your swim space all year long. Professional Ottawa pool closing services take care of your seasonal maintenance, so you can relax.

When temperatures drop, pools are used less frequently and this means during fall, pool care is not a priority. Over long periods of disuse, pools are collecting debris, forming algae and internal components are becoming brittle. Instead of dealing with the fallout of winter damage, call an expert to keep your water systems running smoothly.

The Best Way to Close Your Pool

The secret to great fall maintenance is to have an expert handle it for you! From handling pool chemicals, scrubbing structures, inspecting vulnerable areas and even removing and storing components, closing your pool is a lot of work! You might be able to shock your pool or skim out debris, but when you want real results, you will need to dig deep!

It is important to treat your pool according to its unique style, age and condition. Closing down an above ground pool is different from shutting down an in-ground model. For example, water bags are used to prevent freezing in above ground pools, while draining water is necessary when dealing with in-ground pools. Dropping water levels to a few inches below the skimmer line prevents freezing, while winterizing drain plugs prevents water from sneaking inside. It is also important to blow out the lines of your system, ensuring that there is no possibility of freezing. Detachable items and pool equipment can also be removed, dried and stored over colder months.

Everything from water condition and the safety cover plays a role in the overall look and functionality of your pool system. Mesh covers in the summer allow sunlight to help heat pools, but in the winter these models can encourage algae growth by creating a warm, damp, covered space for it to thrive. If you place a winter cover over a system that is already showing signs of algae growth, it will only get worse over time. If this is the case, upping the chlorine level in spring will not be enough to get water clean.

Puddle Pool Services: Fall Pool Maintenance & Closings

Closing a swimming pool for the cold season requires more than just pulling a plug and letting it drain. If you are dropping the water in an inground pool, where that water drains should be a matter of great importance. Calling an expert for your pool closing can help to avoid water damage, leaks, and flooding and maintain the condition of water systems.

A proper closing in the fall makes for a more efficient opening in spring. When you want to make the most out of the swim season, you don’t want to waste time having to open your pool. When you hire an expert, you can rest easy that everything from your pool filter to liner has been inspected and water has been balanced.
