When Should You Close a Pool in Pawling?

Close your Pawling pool once the water holds below about 65°F for several days running — usually mid-October to early November in Dutchess 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.

Local conditions

Why Do Pawling Pools Need a Proper Closing?

Dutchess 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.

Pawling is the furthest north we go, in Dutchess County where the Appalachian Trail crosses the hills above the village. That position makes it the coldest place on our list: the first hard frost reaches Pawling well before it reaches the Hudson or Sound towns, and a closing left to the calendar rather than the thermometer is a closing left too late.

The hills also mean exposure. A pool on open, high ground loses heat far faster through October than one tucked into a sheltered village garden, and the same wind drives leaves across a cover all autumn. Tension on the cover and the state of its hardware matter more here than almost anywhere else we work.

What’s Included in Our Pawling 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 Pawling 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

Pawling Pool Closing Questions, Answered

When should I close my pool in Pawling?

Early. Pawling is the furthest north we work and the coldest place on our list, so the first hard frost arrives well ahead of the Hudson and Sound towns. Watch for the water holding below about 65°F for several days and book rather than wait.

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

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.

Is it too late to close my pool in November?

In Pawling, probably. This is the coldest part of our service area and an overnight freeze reaching water still sitting in the plumbing is what splits pipes and cracks equipment. Call straight away and we will tell you honestly where you stand rather than booking you in and hoping.

My pool is on open high ground. Does that change anything?

It brings the closing date forward. An exposed pool loses heat far faster through October than a sheltered one, and the same wind drives leaves across the cover all autumn. Cover tension and hardware matter more here than in a sheltered garden.

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. In Pawling that risk arrives early, so ask us about yours when you book your closing.

What is the best time of year to replaster a pool?

The off-season. With the pool closed and the water down, re-plastering, waterline tile and coping can be done without losing swim time, and the work is finished before opening day. Booking in winter also means you are not waiting behind the spring rush.
