Stoney Creek Seasonal Pool Maintenance

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.
