POOL EQUIPMENT UPGRADES • Long Island, NY
Pool Equipment Upgrades on Long Island
Empire Pools upgrades outdated pool equipment across Suffolk and Nassau County — from pumps, filters, and heaters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, so everything works together and stays easy to operate.
What to Expect
Smarter, Quieter, More Efficient Pool Equipment
Old equipment wastes energy, runs loud, and makes your pool harder to own. On each upgrade consult we evaluate your
entire pad — pump, filter, heater, plumbing, and controls. We look at age, condition, and performance, then walk you
through options like variable-speed pumps, larger cartridge or DE filters, modern gas heaters or heat pumps, salt
chlorine generators, and automation controls. Our team sizes equipment correctly for your pool and plumbing, reworks
the pad for clean, service-friendly layout, and labels what everything does. Before we leave, we test, program run times,
and show you exactly how to run your new system.
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.

Pool Equipment Upgrades — FAQs
What types of equipment can you upgrade?
We upgrade most major components on a typical Long Island pad — pumps, filters, heaters or heat pumps, salt systems,
timers/automation, and valves. We’ll look at what you have now and recommend what should be replaced, resized, or
reworked to get the most out of your investment.
Do I need to replace everything at once?
No. Some homeowners do a full pad rebuild; others phase upgrades over a couple of seasons. We’ll prioritize what gives
you the biggest benefit first — often a variable-speed pump or better filter — and then plan the rest so everything
fits together when you’re ready.
Will new equipment lower my electric or gas bills?
In many cases, yes. Variable-speed pumps and properly sized heaters or heat pumps can significantly reduce power
use compared to older single-speed or oversized units. We’ll explain expected savings based on how you currently run
the system and how you want to use the pool.
Can you convert my pool to a salt system?
Yes. We install salt chlorine generators on many Long Island pools. We’ll confirm that your equipment and surfaces are
good candidates, size the cell correctly, and show you how to maintain salt levels and run times after the install.
How long does a typical equipment upgrade take?
Smaller upgrades (pump or filter only) can often be completed in a single visit. Full pad rebuilds, heater swaps, or
multi-component projects may take longer depending on access, gas/electric scheduling, and weather. We’ll outline the
timeline when we quote the job so you know what to expect.
