Professional pool closing that prevents freeze damage and costly spring repairs across Suffolk County.
The difference between proper winterization and “just closing” shows up in April. Properly winterized pools open with clean water, working equipment, and zero expensive surprises.
Most North Bellport pool owners who skip professional closing end up with cracked pipes, damaged equipment, or algae-filled nightmares come spring. That’s hundreds or thousands in repairs that proper winterization prevents entirely. We’ve seen heaters destroyed, pumps cracked, and filters split—all from one bad freeze cycle.
Our systematic approach protects every component. When swimming season returns, your pool opens ready to enjoy, not expensive to fix.
JAS Aquatics has been protecting Long Island pools through brutal winters for years. We understand exactly what Suffolk County’s harsh weather does to improperly winterized pools—because we’ve repaired the damage countless times.
Our team has seen every type of freeze damage. Cracked skimmers from Bellport to Huntington. Burst pipes in Patchogue. Destroyed heaters across Nassau County. All preventable with proper closing techniques.
North Bellport’s proximity to the water means temperature swings hit fast and hard. We know your soil conditions, when frost penetrates, and exactly which shortcuts cause expensive problems. That local knowledge keeps your pool safe while others scramble for spring repairs.
We start with water chemistry balancing and our Long Island-specific winter chemical program. This prevents algae growth and surface staining during the closed season—problems that cost hundreds to fix in spring.
Equipment protection comes next. Every piece gets drained and winterized properly: pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems. We’ve seen too many pool owners lose thousands because they missed one drain plug or forgot to winterize their heater properly.
The critical step is plumbing line blow-out using compressed air. Every return line, skimmer connection, and fitting gets cleared and plugged. This single process prevents most freeze damage we repair each spring.
Finally, we lower water to proper winter levels and install your cover with correct tensioning. You get our complete checklist showing exactly what we did to protect your investment through Long Island’s harsh winters.

Inground and above ground pools both need professional winterization, but the approach differs significantly. Inground systems require complex plumbing blow-outs and sophisticated equipment winterization due to permanent underground lines.
Above ground pools need specialized skimmer winterization and careful cover installation. Their exposed equipment actually makes them more vulnerable to freeze damage in some ways—pumps, filters, and connections face direct temperature exposure.
In North Bellport, we typically close pools by mid-October when nighttime temperatures consistently hit the 40s. Suffolk County’s coastal location means weather changes happen fast. You don’t want to close too early and lose swimming time, but waiting for the first freeze warning often means it’s already too late.
Our service protects pool owners across Nassau and Suffolk Counties who want professional results without the guesswork or risk of expensive mistakes.
