We Know Long Island Winters

JAS Aquatics has been protecting pools across Long Island for years. We’ve seen what happens when pool closing gets rushed or done incorrectly – and we’ve built our reputation on making sure it doesn’t happen to you.

Based in Huntington Station, we understand exactly what Long Island winters throw at your pool. From unexpected temperature swings to heavy snow loads, we know how to prepare your pool for whatever comes.

This isn’t just a seasonal service for us. We design, build, and maintain pools year-round, so we understand every component that needs protection when temperatures drop.

Complete Pool Closing Process

Everything Handled in One Visit

First, we balance your water chemistry to prevent corrosion and staining during the closed season. This isn’t just throwing in some chemicals – it’s precise balancing based on your specific pool and water conditions.

Next comes the systematic shutdown of all equipment. Pool pumps, heaters, filters, and automatic cleaners all get properly drained and protected. Every water line gets blown out with compressed air to prevent freeze damage.

Finally, your pool gets covered with a properly fitted cover that’s secured to handle Long Island’s winter weather. No loose covers that end up in your neighbor’s yard or floating in your pool come spring.

Most Long Island pool owners schedule closing between mid-September and early October, depending on when temperatures consistently drop below 65 degrees. You don’t want to close too early while you could still be swimming, but waiting too long risks freeze damage if temperatures drop unexpectedly. The key is watching both daytime and nighttime temperatures. Once nighttime temperatures regularly hit the 40s, it’s time to close. We can help you time it right based on current weather patterns and your pool’s specific needs. Scheduling early in the season also ensures you get your preferred date, since pool closing services book up quickly as temperatures drop.
The process typically takes 2-3 hours for most residential pools, depending on size and equipment complexity. This includes water chemistry balancing, complete equipment shutdown, line drainage with compressed air, and cover installation. Pools with extensive automation, multiple pumps, or complex water features may take longer. We come prepared with all necessary equipment and chemicals, so there’s no waiting around for supplies or multiple trips. You don’t need to be present for the entire process, but someone should be available at the beginning to discuss any specific concerns and at the end to review what was completed.
A properly installed pool cover should stay secure through normal Long Island winter conditions. We use appropriate anchoring systems and ensure covers are properly fitted to handle snow loads and wind. If your cover does come loose, contact us immediately. A loose cover allows debris into the pool and defeats much of the winterization protection. Don’t attempt to reinstall it yourself, especially if there’s ice or snow present. Most cover problems happen when covers are too old, improperly sized, or not professionally installed. Investing in proper installation prevents most winter cover issues and protects your pool investment.
Partial pool closing is false economy that often leads to expensive repairs. Skipping steps like line drainage or proper chemical balancing might save money upfront but can cost thousands in freeze damage or equipment replacement. Pool closing is a system – each step protects different components. Skip the line blowout and risk cracked pipes. Skip chemical balancing and face staining or equipment corrosion. Skip proper cover installation and deal with debris and algae problems. Professional pool closing costs a fraction of what you’ll pay for repairs from improper winterization. It’s insurance for your pool investment, not an optional expense.
Above ground pools require different techniques but equally thorough attention. The plumbing configuration is different, and the cover system typically uses different anchoring methods than inground pools. Above ground pools often have different filtration setups and may require partial water drainage depending on the specific model and cover type. The chemical balancing process is the same, but equipment shutdown procedures vary. We handle both inground and above ground pool closing with the appropriate techniques for each type. The goal is the same – complete protection through winter – but the methods are tailored to your specific pool setup.
Most spring problems trace back to improper closing procedures. If you find equipment damage, staining, or other issues when reopening, contact us immediately to assess what happened and determine the best repair approach. Common spring problems include cracked pipes from inadequate drainage, equipment corrosion from poor chemical balance, or liner damage from improper cover installation. Professional closing prevents most of these issues. If problems do occur, early intervention is key. Don’t ignore small issues hoping they’ll resolve themselves – pool problems typically get worse and more expensive over time, not better.
