What Pool Maintenance Covers in Stoney Creek
You might be quick to unpack the swim suit as soon as the sun begins to shine in Spring but before you go diving into a pool, there are a few things to consider! Whether you are setting up for summer or winding down for winter, proper seasonal preparation is key to a clean and inviting water feature. Calling Puddle Pools for your Stoney Creek seasonal pool maintenance means keeping your system running smoothly all year long.
Instead of a “one size fits all” treatment roster, your pool and spa requires a different set of chores and care, depending on the time of year. Sticking with the same treatments can lead to serious damage or issues, so opt for the catered approach. In addition to a top to bottom clean, Puddle clients can expect a top to bottom service, focusing on every aspect of you water feature.
Seasonal Pool Care: What to Do and When
It can be difficult enough to dress for the weather, never mind keeping your pool clean accordingly. Missing a single step can lead to contaminated water, and/or damaged components that lead to serious damage and the need for expensive repairs. Instead of gambling with the condition of your pool, trust a Puddle Pro for a full walkthrough of your seasonal care:
Pool Opening: Pulling back safety covers is the first step to opening your pool but it certainly isn’t the last one. After sitting stagnant for months, pool water is likely full of bacteria, and maybe even algae. Water levels should have been dropped during closing, as well as shocked to prevent invasive growth, but some things are still bound to break through. It is important to treat filters and motors, as well as water, taking the time to blow out the lines of your system, ensuring there is no hidden gunk or build up left behind. From here, pool walls can be scrubbed and water levels can be replenished.
Pool Closing: Shutting down for winter means more than just throwing back a cover and calling it a day. Water levels should be dropped and treated with sanitizers to prevent stain and scale from taking over. Surrounding equipment should be inspected, like diving boards and skimmer baskets, should be removed. There is nothing more important than your filtration system, no matter whether you have a cartridge or sand filter. Standard pool covers should also be swapped out for a winter cover.
Puddle Pool Services: Getting the Best Results All Year Long

Stoney Creek Pool Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is Stoney Creek tap water for a pool?
Hamilton Water's 2025 annual water quality report lists Stoney Creek among the communities on the Woodward Subsystem, which treats Lake Ontario water. The City describes that water as medium hard at about 120 mg/L as calcium carbonate, about 8.4 grains per imperial gallon. That is the starting point for calcium balance and scale control in pools and hot tubs.
How do I drain my pool legally in Stoney Creek?
Hamilton's Sewer Use By-law No. 14-090 bans chlorine, salt and other pool additives in any sewer, so the City says to stop adding chemicals two weeks before emptying and not to drain on a rainy day. Water can then be let out slowly onto your own property without flowing toward the home or a neighbour, or sent to an indoor sanitary connection such as a laundry tub. Confirm with the City before draining.
What do I do with salt water pool water in Stoney Creek?
The City of Hamilton says salt water cannot go into any sewer under the Sewer Use By-law. It may be let out slowly onto your own property if it soaks in, sent to an on site sanitary connection such as a laundry tub or removed by a Ministry approved water hauler. Confirm with the City before draining.
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.
Started using Puddle Pools last year and they are very professional, always on time and their team is great. Not just for opening or closing but also repairs. Highly recommend!
We recently hired Puddles Pool Services to complete a pool inspection for our buyers during a real estate transaction, and they were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Despite a very tight timeline, TJ and Mark were able to accommodate our request and fit us into their schedule, which was greatly appreciated. They arrived on time, were professional and efficient, and conducted a thorough inspection of the pool and equipment. Their communication was excellent, and they provided the information we needed promptly, helping to keep the transaction moving smoothly. It's clear they take pride in their work and value their clients. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of a pool inspection and will definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you for the exceptional service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great pool company!!! Great drivers too! Thanks puddle pools!
Professionals from start to finish. I've used a few different pool services over the years and there is no comparison to TJ and his team. I had them perform a comprehensive leak detection and followed that up with a leak repair. Their expertise, top of the line equipment, and friendliness made the entire experience quick and easy. They keep you informed all the way through the process and in terms of value for dollar, they can't be beat. I wish I could give six stars!
TJ and his team go above and beyond opening and closing our pool. Exceptional service! We have had other pool companies in the past but nothing compares to Puddle Pools. I would definitely recommend them!!
Going through my first season with a pool has definitely felt a bit overwhelming at times. I was referred to Puddle Pools Services and the knowledge and professionalism from their team has been top notch. Really appreciate how quick they are when responding to all my questions. I've had the pleasure of working with their team on two occasions and have been more than satisfied each time!
