POOL CLOSING • Dix Hills, NY

Pool Closing Service in Dix Hills NY

Empire Pools provides complete, step-by-step pool closings in Dix Hills — 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 Dix Hills conditions around Deer Park Ave, Commack Rd, and the Half Hollow Rd area — where wind pockets and leaf load can change week to week and cold snaps can hit fast.

Dix Hills Pool Closing — FAQs

When should I schedule a pool closing in Dix Hills?
Most Dix Hills homeowners close in late September through October. If you’re under heavy trees or want to beat sudden cold snaps, booking 1–2 weeks ahead helps you lock in the date you want.
Do you blow out every line and protect the skimmers?
Yes. We perform return and skimmer line blow-outs to the proper PSI, then install the correct skimmer protection (Gizzmo or winter plate), and winterize the equipment pad so freeze damage is minimized.
Can you install or re-tension a Loop-Loc safety cover in Dix Hills?
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 Dix Hills pool closings?
We cover all of Dix Hills, including neighborhoods near Deer Park Ave, Commack Rd, Half Hollow Rd, and surrounding residential side streets.
