When Should You Close a Pool in Yonkers?

Close your Yonkers pool once the water holds below about 65°F for several days running — usually mid-October to early November in Westchester 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 Yonkers Pools Need a Proper Closing?

Westchester 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.

Yonkers is the largest city in the county and it is built on hills, which gives it a particular kind of pool: tighter lots, more retaining walls, and a pool that often sits close to the house and close to a boundary. Where a wall of the house forms part of the safety barrier, New York allows a powered safety cover as one of the approved alternatives — so on a compact Yonkers lot, the cover can be doing a safety job as well as a winter one.

Tight ground also means access matters. Getting equipment to a pool behind a city lot is a different proposition from a driveway in the north of the county, and it is worth us knowing what the access looks like before the day rather than on it.

What’s Included in Our Yonkers Pool Closing?

01

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

02

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.

03

Add winter chemicals so the water keeps through to spring.

04

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

Safety Covers for Yonkers 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

Yonkers Pool Closing Questions, Answered

When should I close my pool in Yonkers?

Once the water holds below about 65°F for several days running — usually late October into early November. Yonkers is at the southern, lower end of the county and sheltered by its own buildings and hills, so it generally reaches that point a little later than the towns further north.

My pool is right against the house. Does that affect the safety barrier?

It can work in your favour. New York allows a wall of the house to form part of the barrier, and where it does, a powered safety cover is one of the approved alternatives to a separate fence line. On a compact Yonkers lot that is often the practical answer — ask us about it before you replace a cover.

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

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 Yonkers?

The City of Yonkers has its own building department, so permits and inspections run through the city rather than through a town or village board. The safety requirements themselves are New York State rules and are the same across the county.

Is access a problem on a city lot?

It is worth a conversation beforehand. Getting equipment to a pool behind a tight Yonkers lot is a different job from a north-county driveway, and knowing what the access looks like in advance means the closing happens on the day it is booked.

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. We install and service gas heaters and heat pumps, so ask us about yours when you book your closing.
