Openings Tuned to Holtsville

Early-season pollen and winds off the open corridors near the LIE service roads can load baskets fast. We schedule your opening with water temp and debris load in mind, start circulation, and balance chemistry to prevent staining/scale as temps rise.

From streets off Patchogue-Holbrook Rd and Waverly Ave to homes closer to Terry Rd, our opening checklist adapts to yard tree cover and spring storm patterns for a smooth start-up.

Holtsville Pool Opening — FAQs

When should I schedule my opening?
Most Holtsville homeowners choose late April through May, based on water temps and cover type.
Should I top off water before you arrive?
If water is well below mid-skimmer, add a few inches the day before. If unsure, text us a photo.
Do I need to be home?
No. Provide yard/equipment access and a card on file. We’ll text photos and notes after the opening.
How long until the pool clears up?
Most clear within 24–48 hours with proper run-time and brushing. Heavy debris may take longer.
Do you handle salt systems at start-up?
Yes — we verify salinity, inspect the cell, and confirm the SWG settings during opening.
