Merrick Residential Pool Services: Frequently Asked Questions

When should I close my pool in Merrick?

NOAA normals at Farmingdale put the median first fall freeze on November 6 and the station averages about 88 nights a year at or below 32F. Closing and winterizing before that window protects lines and equipment and outdoor hot tubs need freeze protection too.

Is Merrick water soft or hard for pools?

Merrick is served by Liberty's Merrick Operations District (formerly New York American Water). Its 2025 Annual Water Quality Report shows raw well total hardness of just 1.6 to 19.3 ppm and a negative corrosivity index, meaning very soft and naturally corrosive water. A freshly filled pool or spa may start low in calcium and alkalinity, so maintenance balances it based on its own tests.

Do you look after hot tubs as well as pools?

Yes. Many homes have both, and hot tubs can be serviced on the same visit and the same plan as the pool.

Why is water balance so important for a home pool?

Balanced water is safer for swimmers and kinder to the pool. A shift in alkalinity or pH can make the water corrosive to equipment or cause scale and staining, which leads to repairs that regular balancing avoids.

Will I know what was done on each visit?

Yes. After every visit you get an E-Report with what was done, the chemical readings and before and after photos.
