We Know Long Island Winters

We’ve been protecting Long Island pools for years. We’re based right here in Huntington Station, which means we understand exactly what your pool faces during a typical New York winter.

Our team handles everything from custom inground pools to above ground installations. When you choose us, you’re working with professionals who’ve built, maintained, and protected pools throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Complete Pool Closing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we balance your pool’s chemistry to prevent surface damage and algae growth during the closed season. This isn’t just adding a few chemicals—it’s precise water treatment that protects your pool’s interior.

Next, we drain your equipment and plumbing lines completely. Every pump, filter, heater, and pipe gets cleared of water that could freeze and cause thousands in damage. We also add antifreeze to lines that can’t be fully drained.

Finally, we install and secure your pool cover properly. A poorly installed cover lets in debris, sunlight, and moisture that can create problems all winter long. We make sure your cover fits tight and stays put through wind, snow, and ice.

Everything Your Pool Needs for Winter

Our pool closing service covers every step needed to protect your investment. We handle chemical balancing, equipment draining, plumbing winterization, and professional cover installation.

For Hillside Manor residents, this comprehensive approach matters even more. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles can be particularly harsh on pool equipment. We use antifreeze specifically designed for pools and ensure every component that could be damaged by freezing gets proper protection.

Whether you have an inground Gunite pool, fiberglass installation, or vinyl liner system, we adjust our closing process to match your pool’s specific needs. Each type requires slightly different winterization steps, and we handle them all with the same attention to detail.

When should I schedule pool closing in Hillside Manor?

The ideal time for pool closing in the Long Island area is typically mid to late October, when nighttime temperatures consistently drop below 50 degrees. Closing too early means you miss out on potential swimming days during warm fall weather. Closing too late risks freeze damage if an unexpected cold snap hits. We recommend scheduling your closing by early October to secure your preferred date. October is our busiest month, and waiting too long might mean settling for a less convenient time slot. Weather can be unpredictable, so having flexibility in your schedule helps ensure we can close your pool at the optimal time.

What happens if my pool equipment freezes before closing?

Frozen pool equipment can cause serious damage, including cracked pump housings, burst pipes, and damaged filter systems. If you suspect freezing has occurred, don’t run your equipment until it’s been professionally inspected. The most vulnerable components are your pump, filter, heater, and any exposed plumbing. Even a small crack can lead to major leaks and expensive repairs come spring. If freezing happens before your scheduled closing, contact us immediately. We can assess the damage and determine what repairs might be needed before completing the winterization process.

Do I need to drain my entire pool for winter?

No, you don’t need to drain your entire pool, and doing so can actually cause more problems than it solves. We typically lower the water level to about 4-6 inches below the skimmer opening for inground pools. Draining your pool completely can cause the structure to shift or pop out of the ground due to hydrostatic pressure from groundwater. The remaining water, combined with proper chemical treatment, actually helps protect your pool’s surfaces during winter. We drain all the equipment and plumbing lines completely, but the pool itself keeps most of its water.

How much does professional pool closing cost in Hillside Manor?

Professional pool closing typically ranges from $200 to $400 depending on your pool size, type, and specific equipment needs. Inground pools with complex equipment setups cost more than basic above ground installations. The cost includes chemical balancing, equipment winterization, plumbing protection, and cover installation. While DIY closing might seem cheaper upfront, one mistake can cost thousands in freeze damage repairs. Professional closing is insurance for your pool investment, and most homeowners find the peace of mind worth every penny.

What chemicals do you add during pool closing?

We add a winterization chemical kit that typically includes algaecide, chlorine shock, and a winter floater or liquid winterizer. The exact chemical combination depends on your pool’s current condition and water chemistry. Algaecide prevents algae growth during the closed season, while shock chlorination eliminates any existing bacteria or contaminants. The winterizer helps maintain proper chemical balance throughout the winter months. We also adjust pH and alkalinity levels to prevent surface damage. All chemicals we use are specifically designed for pool winterization and safe for your pool’s surfaces and equipment.

Can I swim after the pool closing chemicals are added?

No, once we add winterization chemicals, your pool is officially closed for the season and not safe for swimming. The chemical concentrations used for winterization are much higher than normal swimming levels. We typically add these chemicals as the final step in the closing process, after we’ve completed all equipment winterization and are ready to install the cover. The timing ensures you get maximum swimming enjoyment right up until closing day, then provides complete protection throughout the winter months until your spring opening.
