When should I close my pool in Somers?
Once the water holds below about 65°F for several days running. Somers is rural and its pools tend to sit on open, exposed lots, which lose heat faster than a sheltered garden — so the window here usually opens earlier than it does in the river villages to the south.
How much does it cost to close a pool in Somers?
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 We do not publish prices: every pool is quoted after an on-site look rather than over the phone, so the number you get is the number you pay.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 Somers?
The Town of Somers. The safety requirements themselves come from New York State rather than the town: a barrier at least 48 inches high, no more than two inches of gap beneath it, self-closing and self-latching gates with the latch at least 54 inches up, and a pool alarm on residential pools built since December 2006.
Does the New York City watershed affect my pool?
Not usually in terms of what a closing involves, but much of Somers sits within the watershed, and that is good reason to be deliberate about where drawn-down water and backwash go rather than simply running them off the deck. We will talk it through on site.
Is it too late to close my pool in November?
Not necessarily, but it is close. The risk in November is an overnight freeze reaching water still sitting in the plumbing, which splits pipes and cracks equipment. Call as soon as you can — if a freeze is forecast, say so and we will tell you honestly where you stand.
Who builds stone patios and pool decks in Somers?
We do, in-house. Angel’s Pools has built 300+ stonework projects across Westchester — patios, pool decks, walls, fireplaces and fire pits — with the same crew that services the pool. On the larger lots around Somers that usually means the patio, the surround and the walls are all specified together.
