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Empire Pools upgrades outdated pool equipment in — from pumps, filters, and heaters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 major corridors like Jericho Turnpike (NY-25), Broadway (NY-110),
Pulaski Road (NY-25A), and the Long Island Expressway (I-495), we can often schedule installs efficiently and keep your project moving.
Neighborhoods around Jericho Turnpike (NY-25), Broadway (NY-110), Pulaski Road (NY-25A), Long Island Expressway (I-495),
Greenlawn Road, Cuba Hill Road, and nearby side streets frequently 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
Jericho Turnpike (NY-25), Broadway (NY-110), Pulaski Road (NY-25A), and Long Island Expressway (I-495), 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.

“We’re near Pulaski Road (NY-25A) and our old pump sounded like a jet. The variable-speed setup is whisper-quiet and the water looks better.” — A. Marino, Greenlawn
★★★★★
“Off Jericho Turnpike (NY-25) — they cleaned up the whole pad, added unions, labeled everything, and now it’s actually serviceable.” — K. Donnelly, Greenlawn
★★★★★
“We wanted automation and they set the schedules, speeds, and walked us through it step-by-step. Super organized.” — R. Saito, Greenlawn
★★★★★
“Near Broadway (NY-110) — heater upgrade was clean, tested properly, and heats faster than our old unit ever did.” — J. Feldman, Greenlawn
★★★★★
“Salt system install was smooth. They explained salt levels, runtimes, and what to watch after heavy rain. No confusion at all.” — M. Loria, Greenlawn
Pool Equipment Upgrades — FAQs
What equipment upgrades give the biggest payoff for Greenlawn pools?
The biggest payoff is usually a variable-speed pump, followed by a properly sized cartridge or DE filter. Those two upgrades typically reduce noise, improve clarity, and lower operating cost the fastest.
Can you upgrade my equipment pad without making it look messy?
Yes. We aim for a clean, service-friendly layout with unions, valve access, and labeling. If your pad is tight, we plan the footprint so you can still reach everything without removing half the plumbing later.
How do I know if my pump is oversized or wasting energy?
If the pump is loud, you’re running fewer hours because it’s “too strong,” or you’re constantly fighting cloudy water, it’s often a sizing/flow issue. We review pool gallons, plumbing diameter, filter size, and turnover targets to set correct speeds and run times.
Do you install automation and smart controls in Greenlawn?
Yes. We install and configure automation systems and then program schedules and speeds. You’ll get a walkthrough so you know how to run the system confidently from day one.
Can you convert to a salt system during an equipment upgrade?
Yes — and it’s often the best time to do it, because we can size and plumb the cell correctly, confirm flow rates, and set your pump schedule to match the chlorine production you need.
What should I send you for the fastest quote?
Send photos of the pad (pump, filter, heater, valves/plumbing) and any model labels you can read. Tell us your goal (lower bills, quieter, better clarity, better heat, salt/automation). That’s enough for us to build options quickly.
