Pool Equipment & Leak Repair in East Hampton, NY

Probably, if you own the pool for the long run and fix the corrosion details. A conversion costs $500–3,500 (about $1,000 typical: a $600–2,000 generator plus $100–500 to install; no draining if the water is balanced). Ongoing chemicals drop to under $100 a year against $175–800 for chlorine, the water is softer, and there is no chlorine to store. The recurring cost is the cell: $200–1,800 depending on which of four sources you believe, every 3–6 years, roughly $200–360 a year. The catch is corrosion: copper heat exchangers, soft limestone or natural-cleft coping, and steel hardware near the water. On the South Fork that means a cupro-nickel heater exchanger and sealed bluestone or porcelain coping, and near the ocean the salt was already in the air anyway.

One Hamptons company's published 2026 prices: à la carte visits from $110, a monthly water-test-and-balance check-up from $150, and a seasonal program at $3,350 for 20 weeks of full service with all chemicals included, about $168 a week. Nationally, full service runs $175–300 a month by one source and $120–250 by another (standard vs full), and chemical-only service $80–130 a month. Some Long Island companies charge a return-visit fee of about $100 if they arrive and cannot do the work. Buying your own chlorine for a season costs $175–800 (sources spread widely); salt-pool chemicals run under $100 a year once the system is dialed in, which is part of the salt argument. A full visit covers testing and balancing, skimming, vacuuming, baskets, filter and an equipment check; the seasonal program's real value is that it happens whether or not anyone is home.

It costs homeowners nothing. You tell us about the pool once, roughly sixty seconds: where it is, what kind it is if you know, what it needs, and when. We put you in touch with one licensed, insured pool company that works your town and does that kind of work, service company or builder as the job requires, and they call you within one business day to look at it and quote it directly. We are a Hamptons-only referral service, not a pool company, and we are named for the pond, not connected to any business or property that shares the name: one company, and nobody else gets your number. Participating companies pay us a referral fee.
