Hicksville Pool Solutions provides pool services in Hicksville, NY for homeowners with in-ground and above-ground backyard pools. The work spans the full Long Island pool year, from routine cleaning in summer to seasonal openings and closings and repairs when equipment or liners fail. The sections below summarize each one. Follow the links for full details on the work involved, the factors behind a quote and common questions from local owners.
Pool cleaning
Pool cleaning is the routine care that keeps water clear between spring and fall. A visit includes skimming, brushing walls and steps, vacuuming the floor, emptying the skimmer and pump baskets, checking the filter and testing the water. It suits owners who want weekly help as well as those who handle the light work and want professional visits during the busiest weeks. Pools shaded by oaks and maples, and pools after summer storms, benefit most from steady service. Regular visits also catch small equipment issues, such as a leaking pump seal or a rising filter pressure, before they turn into repairs.
Pool opening and closing
Pool opening and closing handles the two seasonal jobs every pool here needs. In spring, the cover comes off, the equipment is restored and primed, and the pool is cleaned and treated for swimming. In fall, the water is balanced, the lines are blown out and plugged, the equipment is drained and the winter cover is secured. A careful closing is the best protection against freeze damage over a Nassau County winter. Timing matters as well: closing once the water has cooled helps winter chemicals last and keeps algae from taking over under the cover. Both in-ground and above-ground pools are covered, including solid, mesh safety and winch-held covers.
Pool repair
Pool repair covers pumps, motors, filters, heaters, plumbing, timers and vinyl liners. Every repair starts with a diagnosis, so you know what failed and why before you approve any work. Where it makes sense, the quote compares repairing a part with replacing the unit. Common calls include pumps that hum without starting, filters with high pressure, heaters that will not ignite, water loss from a hidden leak and vinyl liners with tears or a bead slipping from the track. Freeze cracks found at spring opening are another frequent reason for a repair visit.
What other pool services are available?
Beyond the three main services, we also offer:
- Chemical balancing to correct pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness and stabilizer.
- Filter cleaning for sand, cartridge and DE filters.
- Algae treatment for green, cloudy or stained water.
- Pump and heater service to keep equipment running efficiently.
- Liner repair for tears, loose beads and small holes.
- Tile cleaning to remove scale and stains at the waterline.
- Leak detection to find the source of water loss.
These are often added to a core service. A pool that opens green, for example, may need algae treatment and a filter cleaning before it holds chlorine. Call and ask if you need one of these on its own.
