What Pool Maintenance Covers in St. Thomas
At the height of summer having to clean your pool feels like a no-brainer but as the seasons change and swim spaces are used less often it stops being a priority. Whether you are going into the swim season or are closing it out, proper pool care is key to maintaining good condition and avoiding damage. Instead of taking a risk on your pool condition, call a local Puddle Pro. St. Thomas seasonal pool maintenance can help to protect your swim space from the winter weather and help to make the most out of the swim season.
All it takes is one quick internet search to come up with dozens of tips for fall pool maintenance but not all of these are effective. There is nothing worse than following a pool closing program that you found online only to end up with a DIY disaster. Swimming pools are made to be durable but they aren’t a match for an Ontario winter, so call a local expert for timely and efficient closings, or set you up for a successful swim season with a pool opening.
Seasonal Pool Care: Prepping Your Pool For a New Season
Throughout the year your swimming pool is left at the mercy of the elements and while you are bundled up to avoid a chill, your pool is left out in the cold. Instead of just throwing in a bit of pool shock or algaecides, proper pool care requires a multi-step approach that involves treating surfaces as well as the internal water systems that keep water flowing.
Closing Your Pool: When the fall season rolls around it is time for fall pool care. The best time to close your pool for the season is when the average outdoor temperature reaches 15 degrees. Protecting your pool from cold weather means dropping the water level and winterizing drain plugs. These steps keep water out of vulnerable areas where it might freeze, causing plastic to become brittle and pipes to burst. It is also a good idea to remove any and all debris that is sitting inside your pool. Over time floating items will become water-logged and sink to the bottom of the pool along with heavier items. Unwanted items will sit against liners and rot, causing permanent stains and discolourations. By removing debris and emptying the skimmer basket you are reducing the risk of unwanted growth and stains.
Opening Your Pool: Spring pool care not only means a deep clean, it means undoing everything that was done on closing. This means refilling the water level and opening drain plugs to allow circulation systems to flow. From here, it is time to balance water chemistry which often begins with a shock treatment. Once settled, standard pool chemicals can be applied to balance pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium. Even if you’ve kept your pool covered over the winter, debris has a way of finding its way inside. This means having to remove debris from the pool basin, as well as skimmer baskets and pool filters.

St. Thomas Pool Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
Is maintenance still needed if the pool is not being used?
Yes. Standing, untreated water is more work to recover than water that has been kept balanced, and equipment that sits idle without being run or properly shut down is where problems develop quietly. A pool that is out of use either needs maintaining or needs closing properly.
Can maintenance be scheduled around the season?
Yes, and most customers do. Service is usually heavier through the swimming season and lighter outside it, and some equipment work is better done when the pool is not in use. It is worth discussing the pattern rather than assuming one schedule fits the whole year.
Why does water chemistry matter for my equipment?
Unbalanced water does more than look bad. Water that drifts too low in alkalinity or pH becomes corrosive to metal parts, heaters and fittings, while water that runs high tends to leave scale. Keeping chemistry in range is one of the simplest ways to protect equipment.
What does a maintenance visit check besides the water?
The filter and its pressure, the pump and its baskets, visible plumbing and valves plus the condition of the liner or surface, covers and fittings. The point is to spot wear early, while it is still a small fix.
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.
