Pool Closing in Waterdown, ON
When the weather begins to warm, opening your pool is often priority number one for property owners. This might mean opening up your backyard system, or it can mean setting up a communal swim space around a condo or hotel, but in either case, the key to an easy opening, is a professional closing. A professional Waterdown pool closing can set the stage for success in spring, but it can also help to protect your system, prolonging its lifespan and reducing the need for repair costs.
Maintaining the condition of your hot tub and spa means in-depth care, both in warmer temperatures and during winter months. One of the main aspects of seasonal pool care is the closing process, which, when done correctly, can be great for your system, but an amateur approach can have a negative impact on your pool itself, but also on the surrounding area. When you are ready to winterize your swimming pool, call the team with years of experience and a great track record, to get the best results possible.
Closing Your Pool For Winter: Why Choose Professional Care
Everyone loves a skating rink in winter, but you do not want your pool transforming into a frozen surface. A bit of ice formation is expected, depending on the time of year and style of your pool or water feature, but without proper precautions, this can lead to serious damage. As cold weather rolls in, it is important to drop the water level in your system, so it falls below the jets and skimmers. This prevents water from entering into these sensitive areas and freezing.
Unlike a bathtub, removing water from your pool system takes more than pulling out a drain plug and watching the water level drop. Improper drainage can mean drowned lawns, as well as significant damage to homes, in the form of water damage, leaks and rotten materials. Avoid DIY disaster by calling an expert to drain your inground or above ground pool.
The internal mechanisms of your pool are often “out of sight, out of mind” but keeping these in good working order is key to keeping your system running. If your filters or circulation systems are struggling, it will put added strain on your system, causing unnecessary wear and tear, which results in the need for costly repairs and replacements. It can take a long time, and a lot of trial and error to figure out exactly how to treat your filtration system, because each of these has its own unique needs. From a basic cartridge filter to a sand filter, our experts can handle it all!
Safety covers are a key components of a safe pool space, but do you know that these need to be switched out on a seasonal rotation? Summer covers are often mesh and designed to let light in, helping to warm pool water. Letting sunlight in during winter months, creates an ideal space for algae to form. Winter covers are solid, preventing light from coming in, reducing risk of algae and working to keep pool water clean.
The Best Results For Your Pool Closing Service
Standard pool cleaning works to balance water chemistry and chlorine levels, but as the seasons change, so do the needs of your system. Just covering the pool for the season is not enough to keep your system in good, working order. When you pull back that cover in spring, you can experience algae, foul smells and other unpleasant and unexpected surprises. Calling a professional pool service can help to avoid unnecessary damage with great technique and the right pool equipment to get great results.
Waterdown Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a plumbing blow out?
It uses high volume air to clear water out of the underground lines, so there is nothing left in them to freeze and crack the pipes over winter.
Do you use antifreeze in the lines?
Yes, where it is needed. After the blow out, winter plugs go in and non toxic antifreeze is added to critical lines as extra protection against freezing.
How do I know the pool was closed properly?
You get an E-Report confirmation with time stamped photos of the lines being winterized and the cover being secured.
Why does a pool need closing rather than just covering?
Because the damage winter causes is done by water left in the plumbing and equipment, not by the pool being uncovered. Water expands as it freezes, which is what cracks pipes, pumps, filters and heaters. Closing is mainly about getting water out of the places it should not be and leaving the remaining water treated.
When should a pool be closed?
Once the season is over and temperatures are consistently falling, but before the first hard freeze. Closing too early in warm water can encourage algae to establish under the cover, while leaving it too late risks the freeze damage the closing exists to prevent.
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!
