Point Edward Pool Opening, Step by Step
Winters in Ontario can feel like they drag on forever, so it is no wonder that when the sunshine comes out in spring pool owners want to kickstart their systems for the swim season. As tempting as it might be to pull back your pool cover and dive on in, this is a terrible idea! After months of sitting idle your pool water is going to be contaminated, cloudy, green, foul smelling and full of debris. Dirty water doesn’t just look terrible, it is a serious risk to health and safety. Instead of taking a risk on amateur cleanings or missing out on the first days of summer, call Puddle for efficient and reliable Point Edward pool opening services.
Spring Pool Care: Setting the Stage For a Successful Swim Season
For many residents of Point Edward, swimming pools can make or break a spring/summer season. At the height of summer pool maintenance is often a top priority but after months of sitting idle it is hard work to restore swim spaces to being sanitary. The way that you clean your pool during a changing of the seasons should be very different from the way that you clean it after it has already been in use for a while.
The first step to opening your pool for the season is to undo everything that was done on closing. Dropping water levels and winterizing plugs is common practice so openings will involve grabbing a garden hose and refilling the water level and ensuring that drain plugs are open for water to pass through. From here, it is time to get to work!
Even with a winter cover on debris has a way of sneaking into water systems. This means the bottom of your pool is likely covered in leaves, pinecones, tree needles and other unwanted items. Shocking the pool might help to clear some cloudiness or alleviate some discolouration but it if there is still debris sitting in water it can’t be cleaned. Properly removing unwanted items means using a manual vacuum to reach into corners or hard angles, speciality brushes to scrub away residue, skimmer rods to scoop up floating items and it is all topped off by emptying the skimmer basket.
If pool equipment begins to fail it will have a ripple effect throughout the entire swim space. When you are getting ready to fire up your water systems for use, have an expert assess the condition of your pump and filter, as well as the heater. Once debris is removed, systems are fired up and water is clear it is time for a full water treatment with balanced pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium.

Point Edward Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a report after the opening?
Yes. You receive a digital report showing your equipment is running, with photos and the initial water readings.
When should a pool be opened for the season?
Earlier than most people expect. Once daytime temperatures rise consistently, algae starts growing under the cover whether the pool is open or not, and a pool opened after that has begun is more work to clear than one opened before. Opening before you intend to swim also leaves time to deal with anything the winter has damaged.
What happens during a pool opening?
The cover comes off and is cleaned and stored, winter plugs are removed and the equipment is reassembled and restarted. The water level is brought up and the system is run while the water is tested and balanced. Any damage found from the winter is reported at that point rather than discovered mid season.
Will the water be swimmable the same day?
Usually not immediately. Even a well closed pool needs the filtration running and the chemistry corrected before it is ready, and water that has sat all winter takes time to clear. Opening earlier in the season is what gives that process time to happen without cutting into swimming.
Do I need an opening if I never closed the pool properly?
If anything, yes. A pool that was left rather than closed tends to need more work at the start of the season, not less, because untreated standing water and equipment that was not drained are the two things that cause the most damage over winter. Mention it when you book so the right amount of time is set aside.
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!
