When should I close my pool in Mississauga?

Once the water temperature stays below roughly 18 degrees Celsius, which usually lands between late September and the end of October here. Closing before the water has cooled encourages algae growth under the cover.

Do you have to drain the pool to close it?

No. The water level is lowered to the correct winterization height, usually below the skimmer, but the pool is never emptied. Draining a pool completely can damage the liner and in some cases cause the shell to shift.

How long does a pool closing take?

Most residential closings take two to three hours depending on the size of the pool and the equipment involved. Extras such as a spillover spa, water feature or infinity edge add time.

Can I leave my pool open through the winter?

Not safely in this climate. Once temperatures drop below freezing, water left in the plumbing and equipment expands and can crack lines, pumps and filters. A properly winterized pool avoids that risk entirely.

What is included in a professional pool closing?

Water testing and balancing, lowering the water to the correct level, removing fixtures and accessories, clearing and winterizing all plumbing lines, winterizing the equipment, adding winter chemicals and installing the cover.

Do you close hot tubs and spas as well?

Yes. Stand alone hot tubs, spillover spas and water features can all be winterized during the same visit as your pool closing, which is usually the most efficient way to schedule it.

What if my pool was closed badly last year?

Tell us when you book. We will check the equipment and plumbing during the closing and flag anything that needs attention before spring, rather than leaving you to find it when the cover comes off.

In Mississauga

Customize your pool closing service in Mississauga with a team that takes the time to do things properly. Unlike many pool closing companies that rush through the process, we focus on careful preparation and detailed care before your pool is shut down for the season. From thorough cleaning and water balancing to properly winterizing equipment, we take extra steps to help prevent damage and costly issues later on. Our approach protects your investment and gives you peace of mind knowing your pool was closed the right way.

Closing a pool is not simply a matter of pulling out the equipment and covering the water.

What happens in those last few hours of the season decides how your pool looks and performs when the cover comes off in spring. Water that sits unbalanced all winter can stain a liner. Plumbing that is not fully cleared can crack when the temperature drops. A cover that goes on over debris turns into a green mess
