Pool Closing in Point Edward, ON
When warm weather starts to give way to frosty mornings it is time to start weatherproofing — and this doesn’t just mean your wardrobe. As much as you might layer up to keep warm, your swimming pool is left out in the cold, literally! Instead of catching a chill when a pool is exposed to cold weather it can lead to serious damage. Puddle provides Point Edward pool closing services that protect swim spaces from the cold, avoids damage and makes opening easier in spring.
Fall Pool Care: The Best Way to Close Your Pool
Many pool owners choose to close their systems down following the September long weekend but this isn’t always the ideal time. Closing too early can mean missing out on the last good swim days of summer while waiting too long can cause damage to pools themselves and surrounding areas. The best time to close your pool isn’t an exact date, it is a temperature. As soon as the average outdoor temperature reaches 15 degrees, it is time to shut your pool down for the season.
There is a big difference in treating an above ground pool and an inground model but each of these need attention in order to avoid serious headaches. Applying winter chemicals helps to avoid freezing and prevent algae growth but the process doesn’t stop there. Above ground pools benefit from the installation of water bags that are designed to prevent freezing while inground pools are a bit more demanding.
The major risk to any pool and water system is freezing. As bad as algae and bacteria might be, frozen water can cause widespread damage to swim spaces and surrounding areas. The best way to winterize your pool is to drop water levels and winterize drain plugs. These steps prevent water from seeping into vulnerable areas where it can freeze and cause damage. If you want to drain the water from your pool so it falls a few inches below the skimmer line, it is always best to leave the heavy lifting to an expert.
After dropping water levels it is time to blow out return lines and ensure that there is no water left sitting inside plumbing lines. Cold temperatures make plastic brittle and frozen water expands and causes pipes to burst. Once pools have been cleaned and winterized it is time for careful application of winter pool chemicals to reduce the risk of freezing and algae growth.
If your pool equipment begins to fail it will have a ripple effect throughout your swim space. No one wants to start the pool season with expensive repairs and replacements. When the fall season comes around it is a good idea to inspect the pool pump and pool filters to make sure that everything is in good shape. Any detachable components should be removed, dried and stored for the winter. It can be tough to assess the condition of sand filters or cartridge filters without technical training but our Puddle Pros are highly trained and experienced so you can rest easy.
For excellent results, peace of mind and affordable rates, don’t hesitate to call a Puddle Pro for your seasonal care and closings.
Point Edward Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
When should a pool be closed?
Once the season is over and temperatures are consistently falling, but before the first hard freeze. Closing too early in warm water can encourage algae to establish under the cover, while leaving it too late risks the freeze damage the closing exists to prevent.
What does a professional closing include?
Balancing the water and adding winter treatment, lowering the water to the correct level, blowing out and plugging the lines and draining the pump, filter and heater. Accessories are removed and stored and the cover is fitted. The order matters, which is why it is done as one visit.
Should the pool be drained completely for winter?
No, and doing so can cause real damage. Water in the pool is part of what holds the structure in place against ground pressure, and an empty pool can shift or lift. The water level is lowered rather than emptied, which is a different thing.
Does a safety cover need anything over winter?
It is worth clearing heavy accumulations of leaves, snow or standing water where you can do so safely from the edge, since sustained weight shortens a cover's life and stresses its anchors. Never walk on a cover to do it. If something looks wrong, it is better checked than guessed at.
I am so happy that I found Puddle Pools. Mary, Simon and their team were so great to deal with. Communication was terrific; prices are transparent and reasonable! No one asked me for this review but I felt they really deserved a good one. They came back to make something right and didn’t charge extra. Great customer service and wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend this company.
Excellent service! Professional, responsive, and efficient. The best pool service I have experienced in the past 10 years! Thank you Simon 👍
Mary and Simon did an outstanding job replacing our pool liner, demonstrating professionalism and attention to detail throughout the process. They are expertise and friendly service made the experience enjoyable, and I would highly recommend them to others.
The Puddle Pools team has been great to work with! We reached out after we were having some issues with our pool and Mary was quick with her response that they could help. Josh was so helpful and great to work with. We will definitely be using them in the future and recommending to friends!
Simon, Mary and their staff were amazing to work with. Throughout the process of a full pool installation and a hot tub purchase they were always available to answer questions, alleviate our concerns and ensure we were getting the best products at very competitive pricing. They were efficient with their time from start to finish. They always showed up when they were supposed to and communication flawlessly throughout execution. We appreciate the effort and quality workmanship from our friends at puddle pools for making our backyard a functional space to enjoy our family in friends for many years to come.
I can not say enough good things about Mary and her team. We are extremely happy we switched to Puddle Pool systems. We are looking forward to a stress free and worry free summer!
