Pool Closing Process Montauk

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we balance your water chemistry and add the right winterizing chemicals for Montauk’s conditions. This isn’t guesswork—we know exactly what levels prevent algae blooms under your cover for months.

Next comes the technical stuff most homeowners mess up: draining your equipment properly, blowing out all the lines, and disconnecting everything that could crack if water freezes inside it. Your pump, filter, heater, and chlorinator all get the protection they need.

Finally, we install your winter cover correctly. Not just thrown over the pool, but properly secured so it actually keeps debris out and stays put through coastal storms. You’re done thinking about your pool until spring.

Complete Pool Winterization Service

Everything Your Pool Needs for Winter

Your pool closing includes complete water balancing, professional-grade winterizing chemicals, and equipment winterization that actually protects your investment. We handle inground and above-ground pools, and we know the specific requirements for Gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl liner pools.

In Montauk, pools face extra challenges from salt air and coastal storms. We account for these conditions in our chemical treatments and cover installation. Your equipment gets properly drained and stored, your plumbing lines get blown out to prevent freeze damage, and your cover gets installed to handle whatever weather comes through.

The timing matters too. We typically close pools in October, but we can work with your schedule to close as late as possible when water temperatures drop—this actually reduces algae growth under your cover.

Most Montauk pools get closed in October, but the exact timing depends on your usage and weather conditions. We actually recommend closing as late as possible because cooler water temperatures mean less chance of algae blooming under your cover during winter months. Some pool owners keep swimming into November with heaters, then close in late November or even December. The key is closing before we get sustained freezing temperatures that could damage your equipment. We’ll work with your schedule and let you know the optimal timing for your specific situation.
Skipping proper pool closing is expensive. Water left in your pump, filter, heater, or plumbing lines will freeze and expand, cracking equipment that costs hundreds or thousands to replace. Your pool surface can get stained from months of unbalanced water chemistry. Without proper chemical treatment, you’ll open in spring to green, algae-filled water that takes weeks and lots of chemicals to clear up. Poor cover installation means debris, leaves, and dirt accumulate all winter, turning your spring opening into a major cleanup project instead of a simple start-up.
Yes, we close both inground and above ground pools, and we adjust our process for each type. Inground pools need complete line blow-outs and equipment winterization, while above ground pools have different requirements for their skimmer and return fittings. We work with all pool types—Gunite, fiberglass, vinyl liner—and we know the specific winterization needs for each. Gunite pools need different chemical balancing than vinyl liner pools, and fiberglass pools have their own requirements. Our team handles the technical details so your specific pool type gets the protection it needs.
Our pool closing covers everything needed to protect your pool through winter. We balance your water chemistry, add winterizing chemicals designed for Long Island conditions, and clean your pool before closing. All equipment gets properly winterized—pump drained and stored, filter cleaned and winterized, heater shut down properly. We blow out all plumbing lines to prevent freeze damage, disconnect and store removable equipment like ladders and handrails, and install your winter cover correctly with proper securing. You get a complete winterization that protects both your pool structure and all your equipment through the coldest months.
Pool closing costs depend on your pool size, type, and what equipment needs winterization. Inground pools typically cost more than above ground pools because of the additional plumbing and equipment involved. Pools with heaters, salt systems, or automation require extra steps. We provide upfront pricing based on your specific pool setup—no surprises or hidden fees. Most homeowners find professional closing costs less than what they’d spend on spring cleanup and potential equipment repairs from improper DIY winterization. We’ll give you an exact quote based on your pool’s requirements.
Absolutely. We close pools for homeowners regardless of who’s been handling maintenance during the season. We’ll assess your pool’s current condition, handle any needed adjustments to water chemistry, and complete the full winterization process. If there are any equipment issues we notice during closing, we’ll let you know so you can address them before spring opening. Many homeowners switch to us for closing after having problems with their current service, and we’re happy to take over and make sure your pool gets properly protected for winter.
