When should I close my pool in Patterson?
Earlier than most. Patterson is north, inland and away from the moderating effect of the Hudson and the Sound, so the first hard frost arrives ahead of the river and shoreline towns. Watch for the water holding below about 65°F for several days and do not leave it late.
Does the high water table around the Great Swamp affect closing?
It does, and it is the main thing to get right here. Where the water table is high, drawing a pool down too far is what floats a liner or puts pressure on a shell from outside. How far the water comes down is a judgement made on the property, not a fixed number.
How much does it cost to close a pool in Patterson?
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 We do not publish prices: every pool is quoted after an on-site look rather than over the phone, so the number you get is the number you pay.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.
Who issues pool permits in Patterson?
The Town of Patterson. The safety requirements come from New York State rather than the town: a barrier at least 48 inches high, under two inches of clearance beneath it, self-closing and self-latching gates, and a pool alarm on residential pools built since December 2006.
My pool cover sags under wet leaves every year. What can be done?
A cover that pools water in the middle is either tired or wrongly tensioned, and in wetland country with heavy tree cover it will not survive the season like that. We install and service safety covers, including GLI Secur-A-Pool, so bring us out to look before winter rather than after.
Do I need to winterize my pool heater?
A heater holds water in its heat exchanger, and that water freezing is what cracks the unit — one of the most expensive repairs a pool owner gets handed in spring. This far north that risk arrives early, so ask us about yours when you book your closing.
