Pool Maintenance in Whitby, ON
Swimming pools get a lot of attention during the summer months but there is more than one season! While you are getting ready for the holidays, your pool is stuck out in the cold! Cold weather is a serious threat to both above ground and ingound pools but Puddle Pros are here to help! Professional Whitby seasonal pool maintenance helps to protect your pool during winter and get it ready for use in spring, so you can make the most out of your swim space.
In Ontario, seasonal pool care isn’t optional. An improper closing can lead to serious and widespread damage, not just to pools but to surrounding areas too. After months of sitting still, pool owners can expect to pull back winter covers and see swampy water and get hit the bad smells. Stepping foot into contaminated water is a serious health risk, so don’t take a chance! Instead of dealing with a DIY disaster, call a local Puddle Pro to take care of your swim space.
Seasonal Pool Care: Build a Schedule That Works
Most pool owners try to maintain a set schedule for their seasonal maintenance: close down after the September long weekend and open up again in time for the May long weekend. This might make it easier to schedule your next big pool party but it isn’t necessarily the right move for your water systems. Instead of basing your pool care on a specific date, it should always be done according to the climate.
Fall Pool Care: The best time to close your pool is when the average outdoor temperature reaches 15 degrees, Closing too early can mean missing out on the last warm days of the swim season and encouraging algae growth. Closing too late can mean dealing with damage caused by freezing temperatures. The best way to avoid damage is to drop the water level in your pool, winterize drain plugs and apply winterizing chemicals to prevent freezing and algae growth.
Spring Pool Care: As much as you might want to cannonball into warm weather in spring, it is important to ensure your pool is safe for use. After months of sitting idle you are likely dealing with tons of debris, algae growth, bad smells and a high rate of contamination. A basic test kit won’t help you balance pool water after months of buildup. A proper opening means refilling water levels, removing debris from the pool basin as well as skimmer baskets and pool filters, applying a multi-step chemical treatment, shock and reinstalling any pool equipment that might have been removed for storage when closing for the fall season. Clean water means balanced chemical levels and that includes chlorine levels, pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium.

Whitby Pool Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Whitby tap water hard for a pool?
Moderately. The Region of Durham supplies Whitby and Brooklin from Lake Ontario and lists hardness of 125 mg/L as calcium carbonate (about 7.3 grains per gallon) for the combined lakeside system. That matters when balancing calcium hardness in pools and hot tubs.
What if my Whitby property is on a private well?
Durham Region's 125 mg/L figure does not cover rural Whitby properties on private wells. Durham groundwater systems elsewhere run much harder, for example 274 mg/L in Port Perry and 186 mg/L in Uxbridge, so well water should be tested rather than assumed before balancing a pool.
How do I drain a salt water pool in Whitby?
Under Region of Durham Sewer Use By-law 55-2013, salt water pool water must go to the sanitary drain or be contained on your own property until it evaporates or soaks in. It may not be drained to the storm sewer, so confirm with the Region before emptying the pool.
How long should the pump run each day?
Long enough to turn over the pool's full volume, which depends on the size of the pool and the capacity of the pump rather than on a single rule. Running it too little is the most common cause of water that will not stay clear, while running it longer than needed mainly costs electricity. Your technician can tell you what is right for your setup.
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.
Just had a visit from George from Puddle Pool Services and was so grateful for his approach, communication and suggestions for maintenance. It wasn't a easy job in accessing the panel and he was gracious in taking the necessary steps and putting everything back in place. The next day check in to make sure everything is working well is just a superior customer service. Thank you again.
