Summerization is the process of fully reopening your pool for the season. This includes cover removal, priming all equipment, treating the water, inspecting components, and preparing the system for safe, clean swimming.
Our full-service package includes removing and fan-folding the cover, reconnecting and priming pumps, filters, heaters, and salt systems, performing startup chemical treatment, and a comprehensive visual equipment inspection. Any issues will be photo-documented and logged in our system.
We recommend opening between mid-April and early June, ideally before water temperatures reach 65°F. Opening earlier prevents algae and speeds up water clarity.
No — new customers are welcome. Whether you closed with another company or haven’t winterized at all, we’ll assess your setup and get your system safely running.
Nope. As long as you have a credit card on file and we have access to the pool area and a power source, you don’t need to be home. You’ll receive booking confirmation, two-day reminders, same-day arrival texts, and a completion text with notes and photos.
No, you need to pump off standing water and clear debris to avoid contaminating your pool water. We offer a cover service for an additional fee.
Yes — we reassemble and prime your filter, pump, chlorinator, heater, and all plumbing lines. We’ll alert you if anything is damaged or needs replacement.
Yes — our openings include chlorine/shock, algaecide, and balancing treatments to help stabilize your water. Depending on the condition of your pool, a follow-up may be recommended for complete balancing. Extra fees apply.
Not by default. For heavily soiled pools, we offer a Power Vac add-on — perfect if your pool is green, murky, or has leaves/worms at the bottom. Power Vac Service is performed on a follow-up visit.
Yes — if conditions permit (correct water level and safe temps), we’ll activate and test your heater. We’ll flag any issues that need attention. If the heater does not fire, you may need to call an outside service for repairs if needed.
That’s fine. We work on all systems, even if we didn’t winterize them. We’ll inspect everything during your opening and make expert recommendations if we notice damage or improper closing.
We check filter pressure and functionality, but deep filter cleans (disassembly and hose off) are scheduled as a separate service. Ask us about bundling them with your opening.
Most pool summarizations range from $285–$450, depending on size, system type, and cover complexity. Request a quote, and we’ll provide you with an exact price upfront — no surprises.
Most standard openings take 45 minutes to 2 hours. Heavily soiled or complex systems may require longer opening times. We’ll text you when your service is complete.
We’ve been opening Long Island pools for over 25 years. Our certified team uses geo-tagged vans, real-time service reminders, booking confirmation texts, and expert care to ensure a smooth, safe, and reliable start to your season — whether you’re a returning customer or booking with us for the first time.

I have issues with my pool . Empire pools inc are help getting my issues under control. I get called back immediately when I have questions. I feel totally confident working with Empire Pools inc.
I was very happy with the maintenance on my pool. Highly recommend
Our pool guys were great! They’re understanding and were very thorough.
I’ve been with Empire pool since I moved in 2019. Any concerns I have or any questions are answered in a timely manner. Would recommend them for sure
Great communication from beginning to end.
Just had my pool opened by Empire Pools. Carlos and another gentleman did the opening and did a great job. Going on my second season with Empire and I’m definitely very satisfied. They do my weekly maintenance as well and they do a great and are thorough. Pricing is fair and competitive. Nice to have a pool company that cares about what they do. Oh and the communication is top notch. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Excellent service!
Great experience for the first time that we opened our pool with Empire. They arrived timely, were very efficient, and a true pleasure personally . The whole process was seamless and we will definitely we will continue using Empire in the future.
Been using Empire Pools for past 3 years. They have always been great. Always on time, courteous and professional. Have always been honest and helpful when something unexpected arises. Would recommend them for pool openings, closing and weekly maintenance.
had such a great experience working with Rick at Empire Pools. From the start, he took the time to talk with me on the phone, walking me through what was going on with my pool and helping me understand what might be needed. I sent him photos, and he was super responsive and professional. He came out within a day, diagnosed the issue right away, and explained everything in a way that made sense. He quickly installed the new system and even fixed a problem with my liner that I didn’t know about, but could’ve become a big issue if he hadn’t caught it. Rick made sure I fully understood how to use the new system before he left. He was also really helpful afterward while I was getting the hang of things, answering my questions and staying in touch. A few days later, he came back with the extra parts and accessories I had requested and made sure everything was running perfectly. He clearly knows his stuff - my pool has never looked better! I'm so glad I found him, and it's great knowing he's just a phone call away if anything comes up. I wouldn’t go to anyone else for pool service.
My pool was spotless I was very happy with the service They came in the time frame they said they would I would definitely recommend them
First time we have used Empire Pools to open and summarize our pool. We were very pleased with the service from scheduling, to the reminders, the texts to say they are on the way, to the pool being opened and running. We plan to continue to use them as our new pool service.
I have been using Empire and think they are a great company to work with. Their customer service is unmatched by anyone. Replies are immediate. Their techs are professional and efficient. I'm glad I switched from another pool company to them for openings, weekly service and closings! Highly recommend!
Everyone was very polite and respectful. They took everything out of the shed put everything together and running. Anything not needed was put neatly back in shed. Second year of using this company, still very pleased.
On time and quick. Been using them for a few years now
Empire has been my pool company for over 10 years. They do a great job on my pool openings and closings. Todays opening went without a glitch as usual.
I've used Empire to open and close our IG pool the last couple of years and they provide excellent service. They are prompt and punctual and always notify you about arrival times. The techs are very professional and thorough when either closing or opening the pool.
Called before arriving. Set up and open pool quickly. The crew was polite and very considerate of the property. I’m would highly recommend Empire Pools.
This company did such great work. They keep you notified about everything. They reply quickly to any questions you have. I’m happy I use them for opening of my pool.
