Opening/Closing
Opening
We offer several pool opening packages that can be customized to suit everyone’s individual needs. With no two pools being alike we ensure that we cater our service to your pools specific requirements.

Closing
We essentially offer two types of pool closings: the complete closing and a partial closing. For a complete closing, when we arrive the pool is still open and running. By the time we leave the water has been lowered, the lines blown, the equipment winterized, the winter cover installed and the deck equipment removed. For the partial closing, it is up to the customer to lower the water, remove the ladder and have cover there waiting. And we do the rest.

Liner Replacement    Kafko Pool Liners Link
Every single in-ground pool liner is custom measured and made, ensuring a perfect fit. Upon receiving your liner, we will come in and drain your pool. Once the pool has been drained, we will remove your old liner and prepare the pool for its transformation. Prep work includes:

  • minor floor repair,
  • re-taping of the panel seams
  • replacing all the gaskets,
  • scraping any rust off the walls and then sealing those spots.

    In many cases with older pools, new coping or track is required as the old coping is not holding the liner or no longer looks pleasing. If a replacement is required this will be discussed when quoting the job. Finally we will hang the new liner and install the new faceplates. We will gladly make arrangements for you to have your pool filled with trucked in water so that the job can be completed in one day versus three or four if you are just filling the pool with your garden hose. Link to the Kafko website to view the selection of liner patterns.



Safety Cover/Vinyl Lock-In Cover Installation
Safety Cover/Vinyl Lock-In Cover Installation
There used to be only one way to cover your pool when it became time to winterize. However, over the past ten years the Safety Cover has become increasingly more popular. Not only do these provide you with the safest winter covers on the market. They are also the easiest covers to both install and remove. Furthermore they are also the nicest in appearance, no more swamp water to pump off, no more ducks to think of your pool as their own personal pond for them and their future family. At one point the Safety Cover was affordable for the select few but now you can’t afford not to have one. These covers can be measured and installed by the professionals at Savile’s any time. We suggest that you place your order for your cover early in the summer so we already have the anchors installed in the deck, for when you want to have the pool closed.

Vinyl Lock-In Cover
Just think of it no more waterbags to fill in the fall, and none to roll up in the spring. Our Vinyl Lock-In covers are simple and easy to install. These covers can be easily installed to any Kafko pool or coping that matches the specifications required. Call us to see if it is available for your pool.

Leak Detection / Pressure Testing / Underwater Repairs
Water loss can happen in a pool for 3 main reasons:

  • Evaporation
  • A leak in the plumbing or equipment
  • Structure i.e. the vinyl liner or a crack in the concrete.

1. Evaporation:
Best solution is to utilize a solar blanket during the evening.

2. Plumbing Leak:
If your water loss is in the plumbing underground, we can usually located the leak by performing a pressure test. This is done by blocking off the lines at the pool and then putting pressurized air into the pipes from the equipment side. All lines will be tested to see if they hold pressure. When a line is found to not hold pressure, water and air will be mixed to aid us in locating the source of the leak along with the use of a stethoscope. Once the leak has been located, the deck may need to be cut and taken up in a small section to get at the leak. The leak will be repaired, the hole filled back in and the deck re-concreted.

3. Structure Leak:
The most common type of structure leak is usually a hole or a tear in the vinyl liner. These leaks are usually located underwater by diving in the pool. Once the leak has been located, a patch can be glued over the hole with a special, underwater glue. Other structure leaks include small cracks in the concrete or cracks in the skimmer, both of these can be fixed with the use of a 2 part underwater epoxy patching compound.

Pump/Filter/Heater Repairs and Installations
Savile’s carries the parts to fix most pumps, filters and heaters. If we don’t have the parts we can order them and if it is un-fixable, we can replace it.

Pool Cleaner Repairs and Installations
There is a wide variety of pool cleaners on the market. We suggest you bring your cleaner head to our store where we can evaluate it and suggest a solution. Whether it being a repair or simply replacing the unit with a new one.

Concrete Pool Painting
Concrete pool painting is highly specialized and should only be left to trained professionals. House painters paint homes not pools. Savile’s has painted many pools in this area, and therefore, we should be your only choice for this very precise job. Pool painting should be a 7 to 10 day process, the earliest we can start is around the Victoria Day long week-end (weather permitting). We will drain the pool, Acid wash and T.S.P., and prep for painting. If the old paint job is flaking, peeling or chipping off, we can make arrangements for the pool to be sandblasted if required. A paint job is only ever as good as the prep work done before it. If sandblasting is required, we will apply a coat of primer first followed by one or two coats of paint. Once painted, the pool should stay empty for 3 to 7 days, depending on the temperature.

Concrete Renovations
Perhaps your concrete pool needs more than just a paint job. We also do tile repair or replacement, reset coping stones, repair any cracks and lay all new plumbing or even replace your deck.
Please note that some of these services are sub-contracted out to professionals that we have dealt with for many years.

Plumbing/Plumbing Repair
We can handle any plumbing job from re-plumbing the entire pool system both at the equipment and underground to just simply fixing minor leaks that may be present. Why not change the old, leaky, clamped black pipe plumbing mess, into nice, neat, clean, glued PVC pipe, with nice, new ball valves. Over time pool pumps / motors will need some servicing, so if your motor is sounding a little noisy, it may need a bearing replacement. Or perhaps you’ve noticed some water collecting underneath the pump in which case the seal may need replacing. These are very common jobs that need to be done approximately every 3 – 5 years.

Solar Blanket
With all pools not being created equal we suggest that you have us come out to your house to discuss with you what the best options for your pool are. In some cases due to the shape of the pool we may recommend that a solar blanket and roller are not the best options for your pool. However, in most cases a solar blanket and roller work very well at keeping the heat in your pool after the sun has gone done. We recommend that if you purchase a blanket and roller do have the pros at Savile’s install them as there are plenty of little tricks that we have learned over the years.
