Pool Closing in Great River, NY
Empire Pools provides complete, stress-free pool closings in Great River — precision line blow-outs, skimmer protection,
equipment-pad winterization, winter chemistry balancing, and a secure safety-cover install with even tension.
Great River’s shoreline setting along the Connetquot River and Great South Bay brings gusty winds and salt air,
plus seasonal leaf drop near Heckscher State Park and Timber Point. We plan your closing around those conditions:
anchors and hardware are inspected, valves are tagged for spring start-up, and we photograph key steps so you have a clear record.
You’ll finish the season with a tidy pad, a tight cover, and confidence that your pool and plumbing are protected all winter.

Bayside breezes and riverfront exposure can lift loose covers and stress hardware. We verify anchor layout/condition
and tension straps to prevent rubbing and staining through winter storms.
From Great River Rd and Montauk Hwy to the marinas by Timber Point and paths bordering Heckscher,
