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 Liner Measuring

Measure twice, cut once! It is an age-old adage but it is an important rule to live by — especially when dealing with a swimming pool. Installing a replacement liner is a complicated process and it all begins with measurements. This might seem like a good opportunity for a DIY project but nothing could be further from the truth! An improperly measured vinyl pool liner can wreck your pool, so trust the experts for the right results! Professional Ottawa pool liner measuring will properly measure your space according to its unique shape, size and details.

Anyone can measure the length of a pool but when fitting a vinyl liner it is important to take measurements of every aspect of a swimming pool. From the deep end, to pool walls and stairs, our team of experienced Puddle technicians can handle it all!

How to Measure Your Pool Liner

There is no set timeframe for a liner replacement or initial installation. The average range for an inground swimming pool liner replacement is anywhere between 5-9 years. This number will fluctuate based on upkeep and routine maintenance. If caught early, rips and tears can be patched as long as the rest of the liner is in good condition. In the event that there are too many tears or liners have faded or weakened, it is time to measure your swim space for a new inground pool liner.

There is no such thing as a standard pool size. Pools come in all shapes and sizes and that means custom measurements for every make and model. Even in the case of standard pool kits, the measurements will differ based on the conditions of yards and installation areas. In the case of both inground and above ground pool liners, custom cuts are necessary to accommodate unique features and that means in-depth measurements.

Length & Width: At the surface these seem like the simplest measurements to take: measure the longest and widest points of your pool. The primary issue when taking these measurements is where to start and where to stop. It is a common mistake to start measurements at the edge of coping instead of at the bead receiver. This can result in mis-measurements of several inches. It is also important to consider whether or not your pool has tile borders across the liner top and pool edge.

Measuring Corners: The type of corners that you are dealing with make a difference to your overall measurements. The most common types of pool corners are 90 degree square corners or rounded ones. Rounded corners must be squared off before measuring and this is one of the most complex liner measurement forms.

Pool Floors: Most pools do not have a flat bottom, so it is important to measure the wall height at both ends. If pools have a slope to the shallow end, it can be so gradual that it goes unnoticed. The area where the shallow end finishes and the deep end begins is called the Break. The Break needs to be accounted for in all measurements.

Additional Areas: When measuring a pool, it is important to consider your specific pool shape and other contributing factors. In the event that stairs are covered by liners, it is key to account for these areas when you measure the distance of your shallow end.
