In the Greater Toronto Area, we typically recommend opening your pool in late April or early May. The exact timing depends on weather conditions, but opening your pool earlier rather than later helps prevent algae growth and makes the cleaning process easier.
For optimal pool health, we recommend testing your water 2-3 times per week during peak swimming season. This allows you to maintain proper chemical balance and address any issues before they become problems. We offer convenient water testing services and can provide you with a simple test kit for home use.
Pool owners can typically handle routine tasks like skimming debris, brushing walls, emptying skimmer baskets, and basic water testing. However, we recommend professional assistance for seasonal openings/closings, equipment repairs, chemical balancing issues, and any electrical work. Our maintenance plans are designed to give you peace of mind while still allowing you to enjoy your pool.
A professional pool resurfacing can last anywhere from 7-15 years depending on the material used, water chemistry maintenance, and environmental factors. Our premium finishes with proper maintenance can extend toward the upper end of this range.
Yes, we understand that pool emergencies don't always happen during business hours. That's why we offer emergency services for critical issues like equipment failures, major leaks, or safety concerns. Our emergency line is available to clients 24/7 during the swimming season.
