Purewater Pool Closing Service Packages & Options, Fall 2022

Planning a vacation? Tired of cleaning the pool yourself? Cleanup needed before you close? We will spend up to one hour on-site to clean and treat the pool, clean out the filter and pump baskets, backwash if necessary, test the water and correct it. We will use the chemicals you have on-site, or we can supply what is needed at additional cost.

If the pool has gone a bit “off”, we will spend up to two hours on-site to clean and treat the pool, scoop leaves, clean out the filter and pump baskets, backwash if necessary, test the water and correct it. We will use the chemicals you have on-site, or we can supply what is needed at additional cost.

Our standard service offering, applicable to all residential in- and above-ground pools. We clear the suction and return lines of water and install your winter plugs. If they are missing or defective, we will supply as needed for an additional charge. We include and add premium lubricating anti-freeze to the lines and pump. We remove the ladder and diving board (if possible / applicable) and prepare the equipment for winter.

Includes cold water shock, stain and scale preventer, and concentrated algaecide

The water level must be lowered to the correct depth in order for us to properly close the pool. Please select one of the following

Purewater recommends the use of a winter cover to keep debris out of the pool, and to protect the liner / pool surface from UV and environmental damage over the winter. Please select one of the following:

• Lubricate and reinstall the diving board and ladder (where applicable)
• Remove winter plugs, install return eyeballs, pressure gauges & site glass
• Ready circulation system (prime pump and start system if water level allows)
• Set solar roller in position (if accessible) leaving cover off to allow chemicals to oxidize

** for standalone hot tub service please call the service dept**

If your pool is full of debris, we use a deep leaf rake to remove waste, keeping the sludge out of your filtration / circulation system.

Single visits or follow up calls to be done as required. Great if you take time away. Test water, check balance, backwash filter, empty baskets, vacuum pool, and clean water line, as needed. Any chemicals required are extra.

If you have a gas pool heater, a cleaning and start-up service is available through Purewater and RM Contracting, an authorized service and repair depot for all major pool heater brands.

Replacement of missing or damaged parts, water bags, plugs, foam rope, etc. are not included in the above prices, and will be supplied as needed and billed separately. Should additional parts or labor be required, you authorize us to go ahead with said work / supply needed parts and bill at our customary rates. Additional parts or work in excess of $200 will be confirmed / consulted prior to completion. HST is extra. If the pool has not been maintained and requires vacuuming, clearing, or balancing please request extra services when you book, as a pool closed dirty will be in dramatically worse condition come spring. All prices quoted are for residential pools with a single skimmer, up to 135,000 litres. Oversize or commercial pools, please call for a quotation. Salt water pool? All waste water must be discharged onto your own property as required by the city of Ottawa. Dates chosen are subject to confirmation and to the limitations imposed by inclement weather.
