What Pool Maintenance Covers in Scarborough
The needs of your swimming pool will change throughout the year and with that, so will your cleaning and maintenance needs. Keeping up with the needs of your pool can feel overwhelming but falling behind can result in health risks, damage and increased running costs. In order to keep your water system in great shape all year long, call a Puddle technician for your Scarborough seasonal pool maintenance needs.
Expert seasonal pool care cannot only improve the look of your pool, it can help to avoid damage, as well as health risks. When the temperature drops, it is tempting to throw on the pool cover and leave it until spring. Doing this will make it incredibly difficult to open up again in spring and can contribute to unnecessary damage throughout the fall season and into winter. Whether you want to close your pool for fall or open up in spring, one call to a Puddle pro gets the best results for your water system.
Seasonal Pool Service: How and When to Open Your Pool and Close it Down
As cold weather gives way to spring, your pool will become more demanding. In order to keep your system running smoothly it is important to fully understand the needs of your swimming pool at any time of year.
Fall Pool Care: When the average outdoor temperature reaches 15 degrees, it is time to close your pool. Waiting longer than this can result in unexpected cold snaps, freezing water and cause damage to structures, liners and internal components. When water freezes, it expands up to 9% and makes plastic brittle. This expansion can cause pipes to burst, so it is key to ensure that water cannot reach vulnerable areas. Dropping the water level in an in-ground pool can prevent expansion while installing a water bag can prevent freezing in an above ground pool.
Spring Pool Care: As warm weather comes around pool owners are keen to get their systems up and running. The May long weekend is the standard time to open a pool in Ontario, but it is possible to open as soon as average temperatures reach 21 degrees. After months of disuse, your pool water will likely need a full overhaul. This means applying algaecides where necessary, along with inspecting and balancing chlorine levels, the pH level, total alkalinity and more.
In the case of both opening and closing, it is important to inspect pool equipment, as well as the circulation system, clean your pool filter and apply pool chemicals to create a sanitary swim space.

Scarborough Pool Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
Which water treatment plant supplies Scarborough?
The City of Toronto says the F.J. Horgan Water Treatment Plant on Copperfield Road provides water to customers in the east end and York Region, and it is the only City plant that uses ozone as its primary disinfectant. Plant water is still chlorinated for distribution, so fill water is tested and balanced before a pool or water feature is put into use.
Why do Scarborough pools fill with leaves and seeds?
In the City of Toronto's Every Tree Counts study, maple and ash made up 41 percent of the urban forest. Maple seeds in spring and leaves in fall are a common source of pool debris, so regular skimming and cleaning help keep filters from clogging.
How hard is Scarborough tap water for pools and hot tubs?
Scarborough is supplied by Toronto Water with treated Lake Ontario water. The City's 2025 Drinking Water Analysis Summary reports hardness averaging 119 mg/L as calcium carbonate, with a range of 115 to 122 mg/L. pH averages 7.5, and that moderate hardness is a starting point for calcium balance and scale control in pools and hot tubs.
Can maintenance include my hot tub as well?
Yes. Hot tubs need the same attention to chemistry, filters and equipment as a pool, often more frequently because of the small volume and high temperature, so it makes sense to look after both on the same plan.
What is the difference between maintenance and cleaning?
Cleaning is about the water and the surfaces. Maintenance also covers the system that keeps them that way: the pump, filter, heater, valves and plumbing. A pool can look clean while the equipment behind it is failing, which is the situation regular maintenance is meant to catch.
When my mom became unable to take care of the pool this year we reached out to George. He was lovely and professional and very knowledgeable. He made recommendations and sent the most lovely person for our weekly pool cleaning. Maddy was always kind and polite and efficient. She did an amazing job taking care of my mom's pool this summer. We highly recommend them and will use them in the future.

George did great job for us and our clients. Everyone is very happy. For 10 years we are dealing with jacuzzi getting bad service. They never returned our calls. Getting service done from Jacuzzi was nothing but nightmare. Once again Thank you George for great service.
George and his team are amazing! I can’t say enough about their professionalism. They show up on time as promised, they do a great job, keep the area clean and tidy and are in and out quickly. Highly recommend!!
