Transform Your Pool Maintenance Headaches into Seamless Water Management Solutions

Long Island pool owners face unique challenges when it comes to managing backwash and overflow water from their swimming pools. With strict local regulations governing pool water discharge and environmental concerns about improper drainage, homeowners need effective solutions that comply with municipal ordinances while protecting their property and the surrounding environment.

Understanding Pool Water Discharge Regulations on Long Island

When pool owners backwash their pool filters, a significant volume of water is discharged from the pool. The biggest concern with discharge is that improperly discharged pool water negatively affects the environmental health of streams and often results in fish kills and harm to aquatic plants and animals. Draining your pool for cleaning or repair, lowering the water level for winter, and even backwashing the filter may be regulated in your town.

Many towns have specific guidelines that must be followed when discharging pool water. All swimming pools shall have proper drainage sufficient in size, capacity and scope to be able to drain the swimming pool onsite within a proper time frame, and no person shall cause or permit a swimming pool to be drained onto public property or onto private property owned by any person other than the owner of the property.

The Drywell Solution for Pool Drainage

If your town requires that pool water be discharged into a dry well, you’ll need to install one. A dry well is a simple structure that allows water to seep into the ground rather than run off into the sewer system. The dry well could hold the water and allow it to soak into the ground on the pool owner’s property.

Drywell leach pit kits can dispose of pool filter and water softener backflush, French drain, storm water, yard drainage, driveway runoff, roof gutter, or basement sump pump effluent. These 2 foot diameter by 2 foot tall heavy-duty, high-density polyethylene HDPE drywells come shipped in a handy twenty-six pound carrying case ready for on-site assembly.

Long Island’s Unique Drainage Challenges

Many areas on Long Island have a high water table, so drainage can be a problem. Suffolk County dry wells are typically large capacity wrapped in filter cloth and spread out because there is more land available in Suffolk, while Nassau County structures are typically older and built closer together because storm drain systems are older in Nassau.

Dry wells are drainage structures that leach rain water from parking lots, roads, buildings, roof water, bridges, or a house roof or driveway into the ground. On Long Island dry wells are a very common way for industry, commercial business, and municipalities to manage rain water runoff.

Professional Installation Considerations

Every dry well requires a Permit from your local building department. Whether you’re building a new property or renovating an existing one, expert teams can handle all aspects of dry well installations from site assessment and design to excavation and installation.

The minimum distance allowance is ten feet from pool structures, highlighting the importance of proper planning and professional installation. A properly functioning well should be able to process runoff in less than 72 hours, and if water remains after a rainfall, it’s a likely indication that your dry well is due for a cleaning.
