When Should You Close a Pool in Mahopac?

Close your Mahopac pool once the water holds below about 65°F for several days running — usually mid-October to early November in Putnam County. An Angel’s Pools closing lowers the water, clears and plugs the lines, adds winter chemicals and fits your safety cover. Call (914) 737-1445 or request a quote online.

Why Do Mahopac Pools Need a Proper Closing?

Putnam County winters swing back and forth across freezing. Water left in a return line expands when it freezes and splits the pipe, and the same freeze-thaw cycle lifts coping stones and works mortar joints loose around the deck. Neither shows up until spring, and both cost more than the closing did.

Mahopac is built around Lake Mahopac, and the lake sets the pattern for the land around it: sloping lots running down toward the water, and ground near the shore that holds moisture well into the autumn. Wet ground and a freeze-thaw winter are what move stone, so a pool deck on the lower ground here earns its drainage detail.

Mahopac is a hamlet in the Town of Carmel rather than a village in its own right, so permits and inspections go through the town. It is also in Putnam County, far enough north that the first hard frost generally arrives ahead of the southern Westchester towns — the closing window opens earlier here than it does down near the Sound.

What’s Included in Our Mahopac Pool Closing?

Lower the water level to the right height for the winter.

Clear and plug the lines so nothing is left in the plumbing to freeze and split. Water left in a return line is the expensive winter mistake, and it is entirely avoidable.

Add winter chemicals so the water keeps through to spring.

Fit the safety cover over a pool that is ready to sit until opening day.

Safety covers

Safety Covers for Mahopac Pools

A safety cover keeps the pool clean through the off-season and guards against accidental intrusion by children, pets and wildlife. We fit one at every closing, and we install and service GLI Secur-A-Pool covers.

New York sets the safety rules statewide rather than town by town: a barrier at least 48 inches high with no more than two inches of gap underneath, gates that self-close and self-latch, and a pool alarm on any residential pool built since December 2006. Where a wall of the house forms part of that barrier, a powered safety cover is one of the approved alternatives — which is worth knowing before you replace a cover that is doing a job beyond keeping leaves out.

The difference

Pool and Stonework From One Crew

Most pool companies hand the stonework to a subcontractor, and most masons will not touch water chemistry. We do both in-house — coping repair and replacement, stone patios and pool decks — so when the freeze-thaw cycle lifts a coping stone, the people who look after the water are the people who reset the stone. No second contractor, no finger-pointing. Angel Lojano founded Angel’s Pools in 1998 and still oversees every project himself.

Winter is the time to plan what you want ready for opening day: a patio or pool deck, re-plastering, or a fireplace. Our guide to travertine, bluestone and pavers covers the choice.

FAQ

Mahopac Pool Closing Questions, Answered

When should I close my pool in Mahopac?

Once the water holds below about 65°F for several days running. Mahopac is in Putnam County and further north than most of our Westchester work, so the first hard frost tends to arrive earlier — the window here opens ahead of the towns down near the Sound.

Who issues pool permits in Mahopac?

The Town of Carmel. Mahopac is a hamlet rather than a village, so it has no board of its own. The safety requirements come from New York State: a barrier at least 48 inches high, no more than two inches of gap beneath it, self-closing and self-latching gates, and a pool alarm on residential pools built since December 2006.

How much does it cost to close a pool in Mahopac?

It depends on the size of the pool and what the closing involves. We do not publish prices: every pool is quoted after an on-site look rather than over the phone, so the number you get is the number you pay. Call (914) 737-1445 and we will arrange a visit.

My lot slopes down toward the lake. Does that matter for the pool deck?

It does. Sloping ground near the water holds moisture late into the autumn, and ground that is still wet when it freezes is the ground that lifts coping and opens mortar joints. We do the pool and the masonry in-house, so the drainage behind a wall gets looked at rather than the stone simply being reset.

Is it too late to close my pool in November?

Up here, November is late. Putnam County reaches a hard freeze before the southern part of the county does, and the risk is an overnight freeze reaching water still sitting in the plumbing. Call as soon as you can and we will tell you honestly where you stand.

Who builds outdoor fireplaces and fire pits near Mahopac?

We do, in-house. Angel’s Pools has built 300+ stonework projects across Westchester and Putnam — patios, pool decks, walls, fireplaces and fire pits — with the same crew that services the pool. That means the stone around the water is specified for a pool surround, not a driveway.
