When to Book Pool Closing in White Rock
During the summer months, White Rock is the place to be! Tourists come from all over the world to visit the famous pier and inviting beaches. For property owners in the area, this is also the ideal time to put swimming pools to use. It is easy to notice issues with water balancing or debris buildup when pools are high use, but as summer temperatures fade, swim spaces get less and less attention. As summer fades into fall, it is always a good idea to call a Puddle technician for your White Rock pool closing.
Closing a pool for the winter means more than just pulling on a solid cover and hoping for the best. A thorough closing can help to protect pools against unexpected damage caused by freezing temperatures, while an “off-season” treatment program can simplify your opening in spring. When you want the best results for your water systems, breaking tasks down into multiple steps makes it possible to treat swim spaces from the inside, out.
The Benefits of Expert Pool Closing Services
Due to mild winters throughout British Columbia, it is easy to overlook the impact that cold weather has on water systems. It takes prolonged periods of freezing temperatures for whole pools to freeze over but that doesn’t mean that there is no risk of damage. Small amounts of water inside systems freeze over easily, cause plastic to become brittle and even expanding in pipes. A bit of expansion and contraction is normal but it can ultimately lead to burst pipes, which cause a huge issues for property owners or managers. Instead of risking the worst-case scenario, choose a professional pool treatment program to protect your swimming pool.
Preventing Freezing: As water circulates, it passes through a range of areas, from skimmer baskets, the pool pump, plumbing and return lines. If there is water in any of these areas during a cold snap, it can cause them to freeze. The easiest way to prevent damage caused by freezing is to drop water levels, winterize drain plugs and blow out the lines where able. As simple as this sounds, draining the water in order to reduce water levels can result in serious damage if done improperly. It is always a good idea to consult an expert on drainage and the right approach in order to avoid flooding, leaks, water damage, rot and mold. In an above ground pool, it is a good idea to install air or water bags to prevent freezing.
Inspect & Install Pool Equipment: Even a mild winter will take a toll on an outdoor pool. Everything from a small tear in a liner, or choosing the appropriate cover type plays a role in the overall condition of your water system. Mesh covers are a great option for warmer months because it allows sunlight to get inside, helping to warm water. During colder weather, winter covers are solid and prevent exposure to sunlight, reducing the risk of algae growth. It is also important to perform visual inspections of vinyl liners and detachable components should be removed and dried for storage.
Filtration Systems: It is always a good idea to inspect your filtration system before closing down for winter. In the case of cartridge filters, it is a good idea to clean them before entering into the slow season. For a sand filter, it is a good idea to check the pressure gauge to determine when your sand will need to be replaced.
Routine Care For the Off-Season: Closing your pool down completely is not your only option for fall and winter pool care. During the “off-season” Puddle technicians offer bi-weekly pool care programs. These programs continue to monitor your chlorine levels and water chemistry, as well as keeping and eye on plumbing lines and internal components. The benefits of this reduced cleaning program is having a dedicated technician monitoring the condition of your water system, all year long. When warm weather comes around, all you have to do is turn on your heater to have your pool open for the spring time.

White Rock Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
When should I close my pool in White Rock?
A Lower Mainland pool company recommends closing residential pools across the region late September to mid October once water stays below about 15 C. Environment Canada normals for White Rock STP record about 40 days a year with a minimum at or below 0 C, so pool plumbing and equipment need protecting from light frosts over winter.
How much rain does a White Rock pool get over winter?
Environment Canada 1981 to 2010 normals for White Rock STP show about 1,108 mm of precipitation a year, weighted to winter, with about 171 mm in November versus about 41 mm in July. After long wet spells it is worth checking the water level, chemistry and cover on a closed pool.
Should the pool be drained completely for winter?
No, and doing so can cause real damage. Water in the pool is part of what holds the structure in place against ground pressure, and an empty pool can shift or lift. The water level is lowered rather than emptied, which is a different thing.
Does a safety cover need anything over winter?
It is worth clearing heavy accumulations of leaves, snow or standing water where you can do so safely from the edge, since sustained weight shortens a cover's life and stresses its anchors. Never walk on a cover to do it. If something looks wrong, it is better checked than guessed at.
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.
Travis responded promptly to me, for servising my above ground pool. He and his team came on time, did a perfect job, sent detailed report above the condition of my pool and when he found holes in my liner, I asked him to fix it and he did right the next day. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Travis for your work ethics and excellence.

Bought this house with a pool that was green. After 3 days it looked new. Very impressed with the two technician girls that did the job. Really knowledgeable.
Our pool service was extremely professional and they made the deep end clean again. Happy to leave a positive review.
