Questions about this service
When is the best time to book a spring opening?
Late March through April is ideal, before ambient temperatures warm the water enough for dormant algae to multiply.
Will the pool be ready to swim immediately?
The water will be clean and safe within 24 to 48 hours once the shock treatment circulates and the heater warms up.
What if my heater fails to light during the visit?
We test ignition and water flow. If there is an internal boiler fault, we report it immediately so a Gas Safe technician can step in.
Our Clarity Promise
If you notice anything amiss after our visit, or if your water balance drifts within 48 hours, contact us immediately. We will return to your pool, re-test the chemistry, and correct the issue at our own expense without hesitation. Pricing & payment
Why pool owners trust ClearCrest
Recommissioning your pool and plant room for the summer swimming season.
Prevents spring pump burnout
Starting dry or air locked pumps can melt seals; our technicians prime and vent the system properly.
Protects cover longevity
Packing away a dirty, wet cover causes rot and mould; our cleaning and folding extends its working life.
Ready for the first warm weekend
We get the pool up to temperature and balanced early so you do not lose the first sunny days of the year.

What our clients say about our visits
Our outdoor pool was cloudy after spring storms. ClearCrest sent Oliver, who diagnosed high cyanuric acid, adjusted the water, and vacuumed the floor spotless. Very tidy work.
Julian M., Guildford, GBReliable and punctual. They arrive right on schedule, clean the skimmer baskets, backwash the sand filter, and leave a printed water test slip. Great communication throughout.
Fiona H., Richmond, GBPolite technicians who treat the garden patio with respect. Water balance is consistently spot-on, and paying via bank transfer after each visit makes billing effortless.
