When to Book Pool Closing in Sarnia
It is hard to say goodbye to summer and that makes it easy to procrastinate seasonal chores but your pool closing shouldn’t be one! As temperatures begin to drop it is easy to get caught up on weather proofing homes, digging out winter clothing from the back of closets and enjoying the leaves change but your swimming pool should be a priority. Failing to close your pool for the season can lead to serious damage and a whole lot of headaches so call your local Puddle Pro instead! Expert Sarnia pool closing services protect swim spaces from damage and pave the way for an easier opening in spring so book your closing today!
Fall Pool Care: What to Know
When you want to winterize your pool for the season, it takes more than just throwing on a winter cover and hoping for the best. An improper closing means months of water sitting stagnant. It is common for pool owners to pull back their covers in spring only to see discoloured water, algae blooms and a whole lot of debris. Instead of dealing with the fallout of an improper closing, call a local Pro for a multi-step treatment process that caters to the visible aspects of your swimming pool as well as the behind-the-scenes systems that keep it running.
Drop Your Water Level: The biggest risk to swimming pools during the fall season is freezing. As much as you might love to spend your afternoons at the local ice rink, your swimming pool should never freeze over. It takes prolonged exposure to sub-zero temperatures for entire pool basins to ice over but for smaller amounts of water inside return lines, plumbing or around components, this happens a lot more quickly. Cold temperatures make plastic brittle and can lead to breakage. In the event that there is water left inside internal systems, it will freeze and lead materials to warp and even cause pipes to burst. Draining water so it falls a few inches below the skimmer line prevents water from seeping into vulnerable areas. Anytime you need to drain your pool water it is best left to an expert to avoid water damage.
Winterize Pool Equipment: Winterizing drain plugs is another great way to stop water from seeping into sensitive areas where it will freeze and cause damage. It is always a good idea to remove detachable components so they can be dried and stored for the off-season. It is also a good idea to flush water lines to ensure there is nothing hiding out inside.
Specialized Chemical Treatments: During the swim season it is common for pool owners to focus on chlorine levels but as swim spaces are used less frequently this is less of a priority. When going into the off-season it is a good idea to apply a specially derived chemical treatment that prevents algae growth and prevents freezing during cold temperatures.
Whether you are looking to close down your inground pool or above ground pool, there is nothing that our team of experienced Puddle technicians can’t handle.
Puddle Pool Services: Excellent Results For Your Pool Closing in Sarnia
A basic test kit can’t help you close your pool in fall or open your pool in spring, but our Puddle technicians can! Local crews understand that your swimming pool is always up against the elements and after years of industry experience, we know how to prepare your pool and protect it from seasonal damage.
Puddle technicians offer efficient and affordable services as soon as the average outdoor temperature hits 15 degrees. Closing too late can mean dealing with unnecessary damage while closing too early means missing out on the last warm days of the swim season. Before you switch your pool pump off for the season, call Puddle and let our crews handle the heavy lifting for you.
Sarnia Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I drain my pool in Sarnia?
The City of Sarnia's pool brochure says water from a pool must not discharge or run onto adjacent properties. Keep the discharge on your own property and check with the City about any other rules before closing.
Does a Sarnia winter require closing the pool?
Yes. Sarnia averages about 131 nights a year at or below 0 C and 112.4 cm of snowfall, with a January mean daily minimum of -8.2 C. Ontario pool guidance points to closing between mid September and mid October once water stays below about 15 C.
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!
