White Rock Pool Opening, Step by Step
White Rock might be a beach town, but that doesn’t mean that property owners don’t want to kick back poolside. Unlike a day at the beach where you can pack your gear and walk away, caring for swimming pools means in-depth cleaning, inspections and chemical treatments. It can be tough to keep up with the needs of a water system, but our Puddle technicians are here to help! Professional White Rock pool opening services can help to keep your water systems in great shape, help customers make the most out of the swimming season, and create clean spaces for swimmers.
Every year, pool owners try to take their openings into their own hands, only to end up with subpar results or unexpected damage. It is easy to think that all it takes to start a pool system in spring is to add water and a few pool chemicals. Failing to properly balance pool chemistry can lead to recreational water illnesses (RWIs). In addition to health and safety issues, an amateur opening can overlook issues with important components like the pump and filter, liner and more. Don’t wait for a worst case scenario when you can call a local pool specialist instead!
Open Your Pool With Ease
Throughout the summer, standard pool maintenance often means taking a minute to vacuum the pool bottom, check the chlorine level and, every once in a while, inspecting your pool filter. This is a great way to maintain condition when a water system is already in good shape, but restoring it after being closed for winter means adding a few extra steps,
Undoing Closings: During the closing process, there are a few key practices that will need to be reversed. If drain plugs have been winterized, it is important to ensure that these areas are open for water to pass through. Water levels are also reduced, meaning that they will need to be raised.
Treating Circulation Systems: No water feature is complete without a great circulation system. Pumps and motors keep water moving, spreading chemicals throughout the system. Over the course of the winter, there is a good chance that clogs and blockages have formed near filters, restricting water flow and putting added strain on systems. Over time, this can lead to the need for expensive repairs and replacements.
Pool Equipment: In the same way that pool water can collect debris and algae, so can the surrounding areas. Diving boards can collect algae and become slippery, pool toys can hold onto bacteria and more. Even a pool cover can make a world of difference to the condition of your pool and water. A standard winter cover is solid, reducing the amount of sunlight that can reach pool water. During warmer weather, a mesh cover can help to heat water, reducing utility costs.
Before you remove the cover and get a nasty shock, consider calling an expert to open your system properly. Without the technical knowledge, changing out a sand filter or cartridge can be difficult. Have your filters changed, water tested, structures scrubbed and chemicals applied, all with one phone call to a Puddle Pro.

White Rock Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions
How is White Rock tap water treated?
White Rock treats its well water at the City water treatment plant with ozone pre oxidation, ferric chloride and media filters to remove naturally occurring manganese and arsenic. Monochloramine is used as the secondary disinfectant, so test pool and hot tub water after a fill or top up.
Can I refill my pool during watering restrictions in White Rock?
White Rock runs its own four stage watering restrictions rather than the Metro Vancouver stages, in effect every year May 1 to October 15 with Stage 1 automatic on May 1. Stage 3 prohibits refilling swimming pools; Stage 4 also prohibits refilling hot tubs, garden ponds and ornamental fountains. Check the City posted stage before refilling in summer.
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.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Clear access to the pool and the equipment and move anything stored on or against the cover. Make sure the power supply to the pump and heater is on. If you know something went wrong last season or over the winter, mention it when booking rather than at the visit.
What happens to my winter cover?
It is removed carefully, cleaned and folded so it is preserved properly for next 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.
Jason and Tina cleaned the swamp of a pool we had. Looks brand new after a week. Really happy. Thank you!
