The pool pump is the workhorse of your system; it circulates water through the filter, heater, and sanitizer. Many older pools still rely on outdated single-speed pumps that consume far more electricity than necessary.

Variable-speed pumps are now federally mandated for new installations and are often a smart upgrade for existing pools. While the upfront cost is higher, they typically operate on about one-third the electricity of older pumps. Speeds can be adjusted to match demand: higher for heaters or cleaners, lower for everyday circulation. This helps reduce wear and operating costs.

We provide full pool pump repair, replacement, and upgrades, including proper sizing and programming.

We install Jandy Pro-Series side mount filters with glass media, a long-lasting option that improves clarity while reducing maintenance. Many pools were originally built with undersized filters, which struggle to keep water clean as systems age.

Glass media offers finer filtration than traditional sand and lasts significantly longer. It also reduces backwashing frequency. Cartridge filters can work well in tight spaces, while older D.E. filters often require more maintenance than many pool owners prefer today. We assess your system and recommend the best fit for your pool and usage.

Benefits of glass media include:

• Filters particles below 9 microns (vs. ~20 microns for sand)
• Longer lifespan (often 10+ years)
• Reduced water use due to shorter backwash cycles
• Consistent flow without clumping

Gas heaters use natural gas or propane to heat water quickly, making them a strong option for pools that are used intermittently or need fast temperature recovery. They perform reliably even in colder weather and can maintain set temperatures regardless of outdoor conditions.

Electric heat pumps transfer heat from the air into your pool water rather than generating heat directly. Despite Long Island’s electricity costs, they’re often more energy-efficient over time and qualify as Energy Star appliances, including a $600 PSEG-LI rebate.

Heat pumps typically cost more upfront and take longer to heat water, but they operate efficiently once the pool reaches the desired temperature. Heat pump performance drops in cooler weather, which is an important consideration for seasonal use.

Electronic chlorine generators create chlorine from dissolved pool-grade salt. This produces softer-feeling water with lower chlorine levels. Popular in the Northeast for comfort and consistency, these systems automatically generate chlorine as water passes through an electrically charged cell.

Salt does not evaporate, so additions are infrequent, and chlorine output can be adjusted based on pool use and conditions.

Pool automation allows you to control filtration, heating, lighting, and water features through a smartphone app, tablet, or touchpad. Systems can be installed on new pools or retrofitted to existing equipment, provided there is reliable Wi-Fi at the equipment pad.

In addition to making pool operation more convenient, automation helps reduce energy use and limits unnecessary runtime. Systems can also be expanded as new equipment is added.

LED pool lighting is now the standard under U.S. energy efficiency codes and offers major advantages over older incandescent bulbs. LEDs use up to 85% less energy, last longer, stay cool, and provide flexible lighting effects.

• We install genuine Jandy Hydrocool nicheless lights on new pools and many renovations
• Standard LED fixtures can retrofit existing niches from Hayward or Pentair
• Energy savings offset the higher upfront cost over time
