Pool Winterization Process

Complete 12-Step Protection System

JAS Aquatics’ complete pool winterization covers everything your pool needs to survive Long Island’s harsh winters safely. We start with thorough cleaning and debris removal, then balance your water chemistry for winter storage. All equipment gets properly shut down and winterized – pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems. Every plumbing line gets blown out with compressed air to prevent freeze damage. Your pool gets lowered to the proper winter level, all fittings get winterized, and we install your cover correctly with proper tensioning and securing. You get a complete winterization checklist showing exactly what we did to protect your investment.

One of the most important steps is blowing out and plugging the lines. If this step is not done, or done improperly, the water in the pipes can freeze and expand over the winter when the ground gets cold, resulting in cracked pipes, cracked skimmers and broken heaters, which are very expensive to replace.

The process typically takes a full day and requires specialized equipment most homeowners don’t have access to. Every step is documented so you know exactly what was done to protect your pool.

What's Included in Professional Closing

Your pool closing service covers every aspect of winterization. JAS Aquatics uses 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 process is different for each type, but both inground and above ground pools need professional winterization to prevent damage. Inground pools require more complex plumbing blow-outs and equipment winterization, while above ground pools need careful attention to skimmer winterization and proper cover installation. Above ground pools are actually more vulnerable to freeze damage in some ways, since their plumbing and equipment are often more exposed to cold temperatures.

In Terryville’s climate, where temperatures can fluctuate dramatically near the water, timing and technique matter. The best time for pool closing in Nassau and Suffolk County 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 also can’t wait until the first freeze. Once temperatures hit freezing, any water left in your plumbing lines can cause expensive damage overnight.

When should I schedule my pool closing in Terryville, NY?

The best time for pool closing in Nassau and Suffolk County is typically mid to late October, when nighttime temperatures consistently drop below 50 degrees. JAS Aquatics recommends scheduling your closing by early October to ensure availability, since this is our busiest time. If you have a pool heater, you might be able to extend the season slightly, but most Long Island pools should be winterized by Halloween to be safe. Most customers close their pools in the September to October time frame. The kids are back in school, no one is using the pool, the water is getting chilly, and the leaves start falling. Don’t wait until the first freeze warning – once temperatures hit freezing, any water left in your lines can cause expensive damage overnight.

What happens if I don't properly winterize my pool?

Pipes and lines can freeze and burst, you could get an algae infestation, your expensive filtration equipment will get damaged – all expensive problems that proper winterization prevents. Proper winterization of your swimming pool is very important, as damage can range from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars when done improperly. Countless filters get completely cracked and destroyed because someone tried to close the pool themselves and forgot to take out the drain plug. Burst pipes, cracked skimmers, damaged heaters, and algae infestations are common results of improper closing. The cost of these repairs often exceeds the price of professional winterization by thousands of dollars.

Do you service both inground and above ground pools?

Yes, JAS Aquatics handles both inground and above ground pool winterization throughout Terryville and Long Island. Inground pools require more complex plumbing blow-outs and equipment winterization, while above ground pools need careful attention to skimmer winterization and proper cover installation. Above ground pools are actually more vulnerable to freeze damage in some ways, since their plumbing and equipment are often more exposed to cold temperatures. Each pool type requires different techniques and equipment. Above ground pools need special attention to exposed plumbing and proper skimmer protection, while inground pools require comprehensive equipment winterization and complex line blow-outs. Regardless of your pool type, we have the right equipment and experience to winterize it properly for Long Island’s harsh winters.

What chemicals do you use for pool winterization?

JAS Aquatics uses 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 program is tailored to Long Island’s specific winter conditions, including temperature fluctuations and extended cold periods. The algae preventative keeps algae at bay all winter long, ensuring a faster and easier spring opening, preventing algae blooms over the winter so your pool is ready for an effortless spring start. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach – the chemical balance is adjusted based on your pool’s specific needs and water conditions.

How long does the pool closing process take?

A complete professional pool closing typically takes a full day, depending on your pool size and equipment complexity. JAS Aquatics follows a comprehensive 12-step closing process that covers equipment, chemicals, plumbing, and covers – nothing gets missed. The process can’t be rushed because each step is critical to preventing damage. One of the most important steps is blowing out and plugging the lines. If this step is not done, or done improperly, the water in the pipes can freeze and expand over the winter when the ground gets cold, resulting in cracked pipes, cracked skimmers and broken heaters, which are very expensive to replace. You’ll receive a detailed checklist showing exactly what was completed to protect your investment.

Can you winterize pools with special features like waterfalls or spas?

Absolutely. JAS Aquatics specializes in custom pool closings and can properly winterize all features, ensuring everything is protected from freezing temperatures. We regularly work with pools that have waterfalls, attached spas, pool houses, and other custom features throughout Long Island. Each special feature requires specific winterization procedures. Waterfalls need their plumbing blown out and pumps winterized. Attached spas require separate chemical treatment and equipment shutdown. Pool automation systems need proper shutdown sequences. Our experience with custom pool construction means we understand how these systems work and what’s needed to protect them through winter. No feature gets overlooked in our comprehensive winterization process.
