Professional Pool Opening Service in Barrie, Ontario

---

Spring is here in Barrie — and getting your pool open properly is the most important thing you can do to protect your investment and get swimming as fast as possible. Instant Pools has been opening pools for Barrie families for over 40 years, and we know Barrie backyards inside and out. We're just a short drive from Innisfil, which means fast response times, no travel markups, and the kind of personal service you'll never get from a big box pool company.

When Instant Pools opens your pool in Innisfil, we handle every step from start to finish — so you can go from a closed winter pool to crystal clear swimming water as fast as possible. Here's exactly what we do:

Using our professional cover tool we carefully release all metal straps from your deck anchors, working all the way around the pool. We then pull the cover back and fold it as it comes off — keeping it clean, neat, and debris-free. A properly folded cover lasts longer and stores better — we always do this right.
 

During winterizing your pool walls, return jets, and skimmer were all plugged to protect against Barrie's freezing temperatures. We carefully remove every plug and set them aside safely — they go back in when we close your pool in the fall. Missing a plug is one of the most common DIY mistakes and causes circulation problems all season.

Now we go to your equipment — pump, filter, and any other pool equipment — and replace all the drain plugs that were removed during winterizing. This step must be done before starting the pump. Running a pump without drain plugs in place will cause immediate water loss and potential equipment damage — we never skip this step.

After a Barrie winter your pool water will likely be green or cloudy — completely normal and nothing to worry about. We set your filter to the waste setting and vacuum the pool thoroughly, pumping dirty water out directly without clogging your filter. This is the fastest most effective way to clean up post-winter water. We top up your water level throughout the process as needed.

 

Once the pool is clean and the water level is correct we shock with liquid chlorine to eliminate any remaining bacteria, algae, and winter contaminants. We time this for the evening so the chlorine works overnight with the pump running — giving you the best possible result by morning.

The last step is a  a full chemical balance of your pool water. We test and adjust:
pH — 7.2 to 7.6
Alkalinity — 80 to 120 ppm
Chlorine — 1 to 3 ppm
Stabilizer (CYA) — 30 to 50 ppm
Balanced water means safe swimming, less chemical use all season, and a longer life for your liner and equipment. We don't leave until your water is swim-ready.
