When should I schedule pool closing in Mill Neck, NY?

The best time for pool closing in Mill Neck is typically mid to late October, when nighttime temperatures consistently drop below 50 degrees. You don’t want to close too early and waste swimming time, but you can’t wait until the first freeze. We recommend scheduling by early October to ensure availability, since this is our busiest time. Once temperatures hit freezing, any water left in your plumbing lines can cause expensive damage overnight. If you have a pool heater, you might extend the season slightly, but most Long Island pools should be winterized by Halloween to be safe.

What happens if my pool isn't properly winterized before freezing?

Long Island winters can destroy an improperly winterized pool in a single freeze cycle. Water left in pipes expands when frozen, causing cracked plumbing lines, broken skimmers, and destroyed heaters and filters. Pool equipment that isn’t properly drained will crack and need replacement. Improper chemical balance leads to algae blooms and stained surfaces that are expensive to fix. Without proper cover installation, you’ll face debris accumulation and potential cover failure that dumps everything into your pool. The repair costs typically range from hundreds to thousands of dollars – far more than professional winterization costs.

Do inground and above ground pools need different closing procedures?

Yes, the winterization process differs significantly between pool types, though both need professional attention to prevent damage. Inground pools require more complex plumbing blow-outs and equipment winterization due to their extensive underground plumbing systems. Above ground pools need careful skimmer winterization and proper cover installation. They’re actually more vulnerable to freeze damage in some ways since their plumbing and equipment are often more exposed to cold temperatures. Regardless of your pool type, we have the right equipment and experience to winterize it properly for Long Island’s harsh winters. Each requires specific techniques and attention to detail.

What winterization chemicals do you use for Long Island pools?

We use a specific winterization chemical program designed for Long Island’s winter conditions. This typically includes shock treatment to eliminate bacteria and organic matter, algaecide to prevent algae growth during the closed season, and stain prevention chemicals to protect your pool surfaces. The chemical balance is crucial for Long Island pools because our winters are long and harsh. Improper chemical treatment leads to algae blooms, staining, and water quality issues that create expensive problems when you try to open in spring. Our chemical program keeps your water balanced and protected throughout the winter, making spring opening faster, easier, and less expensive.

How do you prevent freeze damage to pool equipment?

The most critical step is completely blowing out all plumbing lines with compressed air, then installing winter plugs in all necessary areas. Any water left in pipes will freeze and expand, cracking pipes and destroying equipment overnight. We drain all equipment properly – pumps, filters, heaters, and chemical feeders. Sand filters get drain plugs removed but stay outside. DE and cartridge filters get cleaned and stored indoors. Heaters get complete winterization including gas line shutdown and internal component protection. Every fitting, valve, and connection point gets attention. We add antifreeze where needed and ensure nothing holds water that could freeze. This systematic approach prevents the expensive equipment failures that destroy improperly closed pools.

Why should I hire professionals instead of closing my pool myself?

Pool closing looks simple until something goes wrong – and in Long Island’s climate, mistakes are expensive. We’ve seen countless filters completely destroyed because someone forgot to remove a drain plug. Improper plumbing blow-outs lead to cracked pipes and broken skimmers. The equipment and expertise required for proper winterization – commercial-grade air compressors, proper chemicals, cover installation tools – make professional service cost-effective compared to buying equipment and risking mistakes. Most importantly, we guarantee our work. If something goes wrong due to our winterization, we handle it. DIY mistakes become your expensive problem in spring when you discover the damage.
