Saanich Pool Opening, Step by Step
The minute that the weather starts to get warm in the District of Saanich, residents and tourists alike want to get outside! While the first days of spring might be spent hiking, as soon as the average temperature hits 21 degrees, it is time to open up pools. The swim season should be spent doing the backstroke, getting some exercise, or hosting family and friends, not spending all of your time swimming, vacuuming and water balancing. Professional Saanich pool opening services set you up for summer with clean and sanitary swim spaces at an affordable rate.
When you want to restore your swimming pool to its pre-winter glory, it is important to treat not only pool water but water systems, equipment and surrounding areas as well. In an ideal world you could pull back a pool cover as soon as the weather was warm and dive on in. Unfortunately, diving into contaminated pool water can have a serious impact on your health and safety. Instead of taking a risk, call a Puddle technician for efficient and affordable spring pool care services.
Spring Pool Care: The Best Way to Open Up For Spring
Unlike a simple bathtub, a swimming pool can’t be drained and refilled every time that water gets dirty. You might be able to fill an empty pool with a simple garden hose but keeping water clean is a complicated process. When opening up for the season you are likely going to pull back your pool cover to see algae growth, leaves and debris, alongside cloudiness or discolouration. If your pool is looking more like a swamp than a swim space, let our Puddle Pros apply a multi-step approach to get it clean and running again.
Water Care: If your water has been sitting stagnant for months on end, a standard pool chemical application is not enough to get it clear. A bit of shock might provide a superficial improvement but it is not enough to make water sanitary again. Having water tested by an expert ensures that you are not diving into contaminated water and that chlorine, alkalinity and pH levels are all where they should be. It is also important to make sure that if water levels were dropped during closings, they should be refilled for proper circulation.
Pool Equipment: During a closing, there are certain protective steps taken to protect areas of your pool system. Winterizing plugs is common practice but it is important to open them back up again in spring. An opening should also involve a visual inspection of different components like the pool pump and return lines to make sure that no cracks or breakage occurred over the winter.
Debris Removal: Removing unwanted items is a major part of cleaning the pool, especially after an off-season. Experts skim surfaces, vacuum up sunken items, scrub away residue and empty skimmer baskets until there is no debris left behind.

Saanich Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Clear access to the pool and the equipment and move anything stored on or against the cover. Make sure the power supply to the pump and heater is on. If you know something went wrong last season or over the winter, mention it when booking rather than at the visit.
What happens to my winter cover?
It is removed carefully, cleaned and folded so it is preserved properly for next winter.
