GET YOUR POOL READY FOR THE SUMMER
LET US DO THE HEAVY LIFTING
Opening your swimming pool for the summer can be a daunting task and most homeowners choose to leave it to professionals. Ottawa Valley Pools offers affordable and professional pool opening services in Ottawa.
The toughest part of opening your pool is removing the winter cover, which involves pumping off the water and removing debris that accumulated on the cover during winter and then cleaning and putting the cover away.
After the cover is removed, we remove all winterizing equipment, such as foam rope and plugs.
When opening a pool we reinstall all pool deck equipment, such as ladders or diving boards, reassemble and activate the filtration system (as well as inspecting it for leaks) and start all other equipment – pumps, etc.
Once the pool is open and filled with water, we optionally balance the water chemistry. Chemicals are not included in the price of our pool opening Since each pool requires a different amount of varying chemicals, it’s not possible to charge a flat rate for them.
Salt bags can be delivered with the pool opening at a reduced cost when booked with an opening.

Cover Removal Tips
- For an amazingly clean pool/cover try using liquid chlorine on top of your pool cover to keep the algae away
- Using chlorine on your cover will allow you to pump the clean water back under your pool cover, thus saving on your water bill. Once the clean water is pumped under you can remove the leaves and other large debris.
