POOL CLOSING • Huntington Station, NY
Pool Closing Service in Huntington Station NY
Empire Pools provides complete, step-by-step pool closings in Huntington Station — not “blow air for five minutes and leave.”
We winterize the plumbing and equipment so freeze damage doesn’t happen, and we close your water the right way so you don’t open to
algae, stains, or a swamp. Every closing starts with a quick site evaluation (cover type, plumbing layout, equipment condition, and
access), then we follow a proven sequence: remove and store accessories, clean and secure the equipment pad, blow out and protect each line
(returns, skimmers, main drain where applicable), add winter chemistry calibrated to gallons and surface, and install your safety cover
with even tension to prevent rubbing, sagging, and spring headaches. We finish by labeling/photographing key valves and steps so your
spring opening is faster and cleaner.
We plan for Huntington Station conditions around Jericho Turnpike, New York Ave, and the Northern State Pkwy / LIE access corridors —
where wind pockets and leaf load can change week to week and cold snaps can hit fast.

Huntington Station Pool Closing — FAQs
What’s the best time to schedule a pool closing in Huntington Station?
Most Huntington Station homeowners close in late September through October. If you have heavy leaf load or want to avoid sudden cold snaps,
booking 1–2 weeks ahead helps lock in your preferred date.
Do you blow out every line and protect the skimmers?
Yes. We perform return and skimmer line blow-outs to proper PSI, then install the correct skimmer protection (Gizzmo or winter plate),
and winterize the equipment pad to minimize freeze damage risk.
Can you install or re-tension a Loop-Loc safety cover in Huntington Station?
Yes. We install and re-tension Loop-Loc covers, check anchor condition and layout, and confirm even strap tension so the cover sits secure and clean.
Do I need to lower the water level before you arrive?
Not necessarily. Some cover types and pool setups require lowering, others don’t. If you want us to handle it, we can do that on request and quote it on site.
Do I need to be home for the closing?
No. As long as we have gate and equipment access, we can complete the closing. We’ll send updates and photos when needed so you know exactly what was done.
How should I prep my yard and equipment pad?
Unlock gates, clear the equipment area, and stage your cover and accessories if you have them. If the pool is loaded with leaves,
a quick skim beforehand helps the cover sit cleaner and reduces staining over winter.
What areas do you cover for Huntington Station pool closings?
We cover all of Huntington Station, including areas near Jericho Turnpike, New York Ave, Depot Rd,
and surrounding residential side streets.
What if my skimmer or return lines are tricky or older?
We adjust the closing to the plumbing layout and equipment condition on-site. If a line needs extra attention, we’ll explain the options
(additional blow-out time, added protection, or repairs if needed) before we proceed.
Will you label valves and parts so opening is easier?
Yes. We label/photograph key valves and shut-down steps, and we keep plugs organized so your spring opening goes faster with fewer headaches.
