Ottawa's Trusted Choice for Pool Opening Services

Prêt à ouvrir votre piscine ?

Chaque printemps, notre équipe de professionnels préparera votre piscine pour l'été !

Notre service d'ouverture de piscine commence par le retrait de votre couverture de sécurité d'hiver, le retrait des bouchons d'hiver et la réinstallation des raccords de retour et des pièces de l'écumoire. Ensuite, nous réinstallerons tout équipement de terrasse, brancherons la pompe et le filtre et installerons le manomètre du filtre. Une fois ces opérations terminées, nous démarrerons le système et surveillerons son bon fonctionnement. L'étape finale consiste à ajouter le kit de produits chimiques de démarrage et à tester le système pour s'assurer que tout l'équipement fonctionne correctement sans aucune fuite.

*HB Pools n'offre pas le service d'enlèvement de bâches sur les piscines.

What Others Are Saying

We have nothing but great things to say about this company. We had a total redo on our pool, as we needed the cement bottom redone and all new jets and liner. Everyone was so professional and friendly. Emmanuel and Jude were amazing for the liner and explained everything. We chose the right company and could not be happier. Sheldon & Diane Empey

Sheldon Empey

We recently got a pool installed by HB pools in late fall 2024. The process was excellent, the communication was clear, they were transparent about all the costs. The staff is very friendly and easy to reach when we have questions. The pool was customized to our needs and size preference. Would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone who would like a pool installed.

Anne-Marie Lalonde

HB Pools is great at what they do! The team (Fred, Julie, Jacob, Tristan, Sabrina) are extremely professional, friendly and answer all your questions. This is my third experience with them and there will be more to come. Highly recommend HB Pools and their team.

Marc Bolduc

We have been using HB to maintain our pool weekly for the past 3 years. The team is honestly incredible. We never have to worry about anything; they are very polite, professional, and the service is worth every penny. Eoin, especially, needs a raise! Rain or shine, he always has a smile on his face and truly cares about providing great service. Thank You!

Firas Jundi

From the extensive renovation in 2020 to our annual closing today, the team at HB pools have been exceptional. Their attention to detail and customer service are second to none. They are quick to answer any questions or concerns and always provide expert advice. Using the duck bill system has alleviated any concerns about a floating liner. After 10 years of worries and issues with our initial pool, we now have the back yard oasis we can enjoy. THANKS!!!
