Pool Maintenance for Victoria Pool Owners
Swimming pools are a hot ticket item during warmer months but the majority of them won’t be used alongside cooler temperatures. It can be difficult to pry ourselves away from the fun of sunshine and summer but proper closing procedures are key to maintaining the condition of your water feature.
Whether you are closing your pool in Fall or getting ready to open up in Spring, Victoria seasonal pool maintenance services can help. Our team of Puddle Pool Specialists can help to clean and prep pools of any size, shape or style. From residential spaces to hotel pools and recreation centres, there is nothing that our team of experts can’t handle.
Seasonal Pool Care: When, Why and How?
The logistics of your seasonal pool maintenance will depend on a few varying factors, such as whether you are dealing with an above ground or in-ground pool, whether you water feature is outside or indoors and a variety of other elements. Just because you can pull back the cover on your pool does not mean that it is ready for you to jump into.
What Happens Over Winter? When your pool is closed during winter months, it is not being treated for bacteria or unwanted growth. As swimming season comes back around, it is easy to want to take a dive but don’t be surprised if you pull back the pool cover to find unexpected items inside. Bits of debris and even algae are a reality for pool owners. Chances are that water levels were lowered during closing so in addition to refilling water, scrubbing sides and surrounding areas is a must, along with proper chemical treatments. Puddle Pool Services are able to provide a proper pool opening every time.
What is the Right Way to Shut Down After Summer? As warm weather winds down, it can be difficult to say goodbye to pool and spa usage. Prepping your pool for the winter months means treated structures, as well as the water itself. It is no secret that water freezes in winter, causing surrounding materials and mechanisms to expand and contract. Dropping water levels is a must. Shock treatments of chemicals and sanitizer can help to eliminate any outstanding bacteria before closing down.
Winterizing Pool Equipment: The main structure of your pool is not the only thing that needs attention. Prepping your pool for winter means accounting for unforeseen issues as well. Mesh covers, for example, allow light to pass through, reaching water. A bright, warm environment is perfect for algae to thrive. Winter covers provide a closed environment, designed to keep bacteria at bay.
Choosing Professional Seasonal Pool Services
When managing a kiddie pool, you might only need a garden hose but for anything larger, it is always better to call a pro. Seasonal swimming pool services are able to create a safe and sanitary environment, no matter the time of year. Whether draining or refilling, in-ground pools and above grounds will have different needs, and our pool pros know just how to get the job done.
Instead of focusing solely on liners and water chemistry, our team of experts are able to treat surrounding areas and those unseen areas that keep your system running smoothly, such as motors, your pool cover, pump and pressure gauge.
When you want the best for your pool and hot tubs, call locally owned and operated Puddle Pool Services for regular cleanings or emergency services.

Victoria Pool Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Victoria tap water hard or soft for a pool?
The Capital Regional District supplies bulk water from the Sooke Lake Reservoir to the City of Victoria, which runs its own distribution system. The CRD 2025 Greater Victoria Drinking Water Quality Annual Report gives a median hardness of 17.7 mg/L as CaCO3 (about 1 grain per gallon) and median alkalinity of 17.9 mg/L, which is very soft. Calcium hardness and alkalinity in pool and hot tub water usually need to be raised after a fill.
Does Victoria tap water contain chloramine?
Yes. According to the CRD 2025 water quality report, chloramine residuals are maintained through the Greater Victoria system and median pH is 7.6. Chloraminated fill water matters when filling or topping up a pool or hot tub, so test the water after a fill.
Can I drain my pool into a storm drain in Victoria?
Under the City of Victoria Sanitary Sewer and Stormwater Utilities Bylaw 14-071, pool or hot tub water containing residual chlorine, chloramine, bromine or chloride is prohibited waste and cannot go to a municipal stormwater system or watercourse. The bylaw also prohibits discharges at 18 C or warmer or with a pH below 6.5 or above 9.0. Confirm with the City before draining.
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.
Awesome service. Nicole and Brian take so much of our pool maintenance of our hands and the pool always looks great. We also used them to power wash our driveway and the outcome was fantastic. Our driveway looked like new. I highly recommend using Puddle for pool and power washing services.
Great work and excellent customer service.
Absolutely an amazing company. Nicole is very knowledgable and thorough in pool cleaning. They are our pool company always!!!
Brian is the best pool service person I have found in the Okanagan.
Puddles was awesome! Brian showed us exactly what to do to keep our hot tub healthy, he gave us confidence with his fantastic instructions!
Great to work with, on time and great service! Would defiantly recommend this team to anyone!

Just bought a house with an inground pool and the people that lived here before me didn't take care of it at all. The water was dark green with black mold and tons of leaves. You couldn't even see the bottom of the pool. Puddle came in and now it looks like new. It took a few days but it was well worth it.
