Winnipeg Pool Opening

When the sun comes out in spring, pool owners are quick to schedule the first pool party of the season. Pools have to be thoroughly cleaned and opened before you can dive into the deep end. Puddle technicians set you up for the swim season with reliable and affordable Winnipeg pool opening services.

Seasonal Pool Maintenance: The Best Way to Open Your Pool for the Season 

After months of sitting stagnant, chances are that you’re going to remove the cover to see green, swampy water. If pool water is contaminated, simple test strips and a few chlorine pucks aren’t enough to restore balance. A complete pool opening doesn’t happen overnight. It takes multiple chemical treatments, heavy scrubbing and technical knowledge to prep pools for the season, and Puddle is here to help! 

Preparing Your Pool: The first step to opening a pool for the season is to undo everything that was done on closing. This means restoring water levels so that it reaches the middle of the skimmer opening and reinstalling any components that were removed and dried for storage over the off-season. Once all of the moving parts are restored, it’s time to apply an initial shock treatment and get the ball rolling on your pool opening.

Restoring Water Condition: Stepping into contaminated water is a serious risk to health and safety. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that your pool is clean and sanitary before anyone dips a toe inside. It will take multiple rounds of chemical applications to get rid of discolourations, but that doesn’t mean it’s sanitary. Puddle technicians balance water chemistry, including sanitizers, the pH level, total alkalinity and calcium. 

Surface Cleaning & Treatments: Cleaning the pool sides, steps and flooring is an important part of opening up for the season. The average swimming pool features several different materials at any given time. Each of these is subject to wear, tear and damage. Using the wrong tool can tear vinyl liners, allowng water to seep in and causing damage. 

Monitor Filtration Systems: Small bits and pieces of debris will collect in filters and skimmer baskets. Clogged filters are breeding grounds for bacteria and will inhibit water circulation. It’s important to start the season off with a clean and functional pool filter. Puddle technicians check and clear cartridge filters and sand filters. 

Everything from the pool cover, pump, filters and internal plumbing lines will impact the overall condition of your pool. By creating a step-by-step cleaning program, our Puddle crews get the best results every time.
