As the Okanagan temperatures start to dip, now is the time to get your pool or hot tub ready for winter. At Deckside Pool & Spa in Penticton, we know that proper preparation can prevent costly damage and keep your system in great shape for next season. Whether you’re winterizing your pool or maintaining your spa for year-round use, our team has you covered.

Yes, we are still closing pools! It’s not too late to call our office for help with draining your pool and prepping your pump system for the cold weather! Call 250-492-8168 to book your service today!

Why Winter Preparation Matters

Freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on your pool system. Water that’s left and not properly drained out of the pool itself, and in the pumps and pipes, can expand and crack pipes, hoses, pool liners, or pumps. With our team assisting with a pool winterizing service, your equipment stays protected, your water chemistry remains balanced, and you’ll avoid the hassle and expense of springtime repairs. Hot tubs are designed to continue to work flawlessly in very cold weather, but a fall checkup of the pump system should not be overlooked.

Maintenance and Repairs You Can Rely On

Keeping your pool or spa in top condition is essential for both safety and enjoyment. At Deckside, we offer maintenance services and we provide a warranty on our repairs. Our staff is trained to maintain and repair all major pool equipment brands, even those not carried in our inventory. Regular maintenance means you can rely on us to keep your equipment functioning efficiently and safely, all summer long.

Helpful Pool and Spa Winterizing Tips

Balance and Shock the Hot Tub Water: Proper pH and sanitizer levels prevent staining and algae growth. Keep your spa water sparkling all winter long with the right chemical balance.

Drain and Clean Your Pool Equipment: Make sure lines, pumps, and filters are clear to prevent freezing damage.

Use a Quality Cover: A tight-fitting winter cover – whether it’s your pool or hot tub – protects your investment all season long.
