Questions about this service
Do I need to leave my filtration pump running over winter?
Not with a full winter shutdown. The system is drained dry of water so no electricity is consumed until spring.
Can you winterise an indoor pool?
Indoor pools are usually kept on a low background valet schedule instead, but we can mothball indoor systems if the property is unoccupied.
What happens if rainwater fills the pool back up?
We recommend checking the water level occasionally during winter; we also supply small submersible cover pumps if needed.
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
Frost protection and long-term chemical treatment for peace of mind over winter.
No burst pipe surprises
UK sub-zero snaps easily crack full outdoor pipes; thorough drainage eliminates expensive freeze repairs.
Clean water come springtime
Our winter chemicals stay active under the dark cover, preventing thick algae build-up before re-opening.
Saves winter energy costs
Proper shut down means your circulation pump and heating are not running needlessly through freezing months.

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.
