FAQ
When is the best time to close a pool in Ontario?
The best time to close a pool in Ontario is around Canadian Thanksgiving (early to
mid-October). Waiting until October saves pool owners money in the long run. While closing in September might seem like a way to save on running your pump, September’s warm weather and strong sunlight especially through standard mesh safety covers can create the perfect environment for algae.
September Closings: High risk of opening to green water, leading to expensive spring chemical and cleaning bills.
October Closings: Cooler water prevents organic growth, keeping your pool clear all winter.
