Opening Your Pool

When should I open my pool?

In recent years the trend has been to open your pool earlier, even though it may not be used immediately. This enhances the look of the backyard and eliminates standing water which can attract disease carrying mosquitoes. Maintenance can be kept to a minimum during this colder period. We start opening pools in early April.

We have opened over 12,000 pools! Book your pool opening today using our online form.

Testimonials

We had just purchased our new home in 2011 and was the first pool we owned. I knew going in that we would definitely need a lot of work done, that’s when I met Dave and he also introduced me to Roy of Rosa and Rosa landscaping. Dave and his team were always professional, courteous, and true to their commitments. Dave never tried to oversell. He was upfront and honest on what I needed for my pool. He even made recommendations that lowered my costs. Extremely pleased by the work done by Total Tech Pools.

Eini from Oakville

Just had our pool liner and coping replaced with Total tech Pools Oakville. Dave and his team did a great job. Always punctual and the team was knowledgeable and cared about their work. Dave runs a tight ship and his staff are top notch. Total Tech Pools Oakville has always gone the extra mile for us, and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Jason

Thank you Total Tech Pools! For years I’ve looked for a reliable pool company to open and close my pool along with service. On time, very professional. Keep up the good work. I will recommend you to all pool owners.

Jim from Mississauga

Way beyond my highest expectations! Since we found Total tech Pools Oakville, my ” peace of mind ” has returned. I’ve had swimming pools my whole life, money pits. Knowing this, at least my money is well spent when I needed to replace my liner. The attention to detail was completely new to me. My previous liner replacement was 50% more expensive and didn’t fit anything like it fits after hiring Total Tech. The most professional organization that I’ve ever found in the pool business.

Jim Mitchell

To All, We have been a customer of Dave Warren and Total Tech for over 20 years and, throughout the years, Dave hasn’t disappointed. He hasn’t deviated from his business model…GREAT customer service and cost effective solutions and has engrained this approach with all his staff. With the guidance from Dave and his team over the years, our pool has been easy to manage and maintain with minimum expense. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Dave and his Team at Total Tech for all your pool servicing and equipment needs. The Morrisons

P & MA Morrison from Oakville

Total Tech did a totally amazing job replacing the liner on what turned out to be a DYI inground pool!. They went way above and beyond normal expectations in replacing not only the liner but the non-standard metal walls. Can’t say enough good things about them!

Sharon Barkley

Our pool liner had a leak last fall, and we lost all of our water causing a high level of stress. Dave and his crew made great recommendations to us for the repair of the pool and installation of the liner. After installation, the pool looks brand new. I could not be happier with the whole experience. The level of professionalism, quality of product, and the pricing were exceptional.
