Pool Equipment Upgrades in ,
Empire Pools upgrades outdated pool equipment in — from pumps, filters, and heaters
to salt systems, automation, and LED lighting. We design upgrades around your pool, your power bill, and how you
actually use the backyard in , so everything works together and stays easy to operate.
In , we commonly see equipment pads that are aging out after years of hard seasonal use — noisy single-speed pumps,
undersized or restrictive filters, and older heaters that struggle to keep up when you want consistent water temps. During your consult we
look at the full system (plumbing layout, return sizes, suction lines, valves, electrical feed, and gas line routing if you heat the pool)
so we can recommend upgrades that make sense as a complete package — not just “swap a part and hope.”
Because many homes in sit close to key corridors like Sunrise Highway (NY-27), Merrick Road (NY-27A),
Peninsula Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue, and the Lynbrook LIRR Station / Greis Park area, we can often schedule installs efficiently and keep your project moving.
Neighborhoods near Sunrise Highway (NY-27), Merrick Road (NY-27A), Peninsula Boulevard, Hempstead Avenue,
Scranton Avenue, and nearby residential roads often have side-yard pads and tighter equipment corners, so we plan for clean, service-friendly layouts with unions,
labeling, and valve access that makes future service fast and straightforward.
The goal is simple: a quieter, cleaner-running pool that’s easier to manage — with properly sized equipment, smarter controls, and a setup you can
understand at a glance. We’ll walk you through how to run your new system before we leave, and we’ll set your schedules/speeds so you’re not guessing
on day one.
What to Expect
Smarter, Quieter, More Efficient Pool Equipment
Old equipment wastes energy, runs loud, and makes your pool harder to own — and in , we see that pain show up fast
with heavy summer use and debris load from mature trees in established neighborhoods. On each upgrade consult we
evaluate your entire pad — pump, filter, heater, plumbing, and controls — then recommend the right path based on how you
actually run the pool (daily run time, heating habits, and bather load). We size upgrades correctly for your pool and plumbing
so you’re not stuck with an oversized pump, a restrictive filter, or a heater that short-cycles.
pads are often tucked along side yards and tight equipment corners, so we rework the layout for a clean, service-friendly
footprint with unions, valves, and labeling that make everything easy to understand. Many of our routes run close to
Sunrise Highway (NY-27), Merrick Road (NY-27A), Peninsula Boulevard, and Hempstead Avenue, so we can schedule upgrades
efficiently and keep your timeline tight.
Options commonly discussed include variable-speed pumps, larger cartridge or DE filters, modern gas heaters or heat pumps, salt
chlorine generators, automation controls, and LED lighting. We don’t just swap equipment — we build a system that works together,
test it, program run times, and show you exactly how to run your new setup before we leave.
What’s Included
- On-site review of your current pump, filter, heater, plumbing, and controls.
- Discussion of goals: lower electric bills, easier maintenance, better heat, or salt conversion.
- Recommendations for variable-speed pumps sized for your pool and filter.
- Options for upgraded filters (cartridge, DE, or sand) for better clarity and easier cleaning.
- Heater or heat pump upgrade paths for faster warm-up and improved efficiency.
- Salt system, UV, or automation controller recommendations where they make sense.
- Pad re-plumbing and layout cleanup so valves, unions, and equipment are easy to access.
- Programming of new equipment (timers, speeds, temperature, schedules) before we leave.
- Labeled valves and basic “how to run your new system” walk-through at the pad.
-
Note: Every upgrade package is custom. Pool Equipment Upgrades start at $699 + tax
and pricing scales based on the equipment you choose and how much re-plumbing is required.

What Upgrade Customers Say

“We’re right off Merrick Road (NY-27A) and our old pump was loud and pricey to run. The variable-speed upgrade is whisper quiet, and the water looks better with the new schedule.” — K. Marino, Lynbrook
★★★★★
“They replaced our filter and cleaned up the pad plumbing with unions and labels. Everything is neat, serviceable, and easier to maintain.” — D. Esposito, Lynbrook
★★★★★
“Near Peninsula Boulevard — we wanted automation and a smarter schedule. They programmed it, explained the app, and it runs smoother now.” — S. Lombardo, Lynbrook
★★★★★
“Heater upgrade was clean and professional. They checked flow, verified sizing, and made sure everything was balanced before they left.” — A. Ferraro, Lynbrook
★★★★★
“Salt system install was straightforward and they explained targets and what to watch for after storms. No guesswork.” — J. Rizzo, Lynbrook
Pool Equipment Upgrades — FAQs
What’s the best first upgrade for most pools in Lynbrook?
For most Lynbrook pools, a variable-speed pump is the best first upgrade. It’s the biggest impact on energy cost and noise reduction, and it lets us tune the flow rate to your plumbing and filter instead of overworking the system.
Will a variable-speed pump actually lower my electric bill?
In most cases, yes — because we run the pump longer at lower RPMs instead of blasting full speed. Lower speed means dramatically lower power draw while still circulating enough water for filtration and chemical mixing.
Can you upgrade equipment if my pad is in a tight side yard?
Yes. Many Lynbrook homes have tighter equipment corners. We plan a cleaner, service-friendly layout using unions, proper spacing, and valve access so future service stays simple.
Do I need to upgrade my filter when I upgrade my pump?
Not always, but it’s common. If your filter is undersized or restrictive, a larger cartridge or DE filter reduces backpressure and improves clarity — which lets the new pump run at lower speeds for the same result.
How can I get a fast, accurate upgrade quote without waiting?
Send clear photos of the equipment pad (pump, filter, heater, valves), plus any readable model labels. Tell us your goal (lower bills, quieter, better heat, salt/automation), and we’ll build options and price ranges quickly.
