Pool cleaning is Pool Crew’s core business. We offer weekly, bi-weekly (fortnightly) and monthly pool cleaning, plus major and once-off cleans for pools that need a proper reset. The aim is simple: a clean, balanced, swim-ready pool without the owner having to chase it.
Our core service — clean, balanced, swim-ready pools
What pool cleaning actually involves
A regular clean is more than removing leaves. We skim the surface, brush walls and steps, vacuum the floor, empty weir and pump baskets, check circulation, backwash or rinse the filter when needed, then test and balance the water. That routine is what prevents a clear pool from drifting into a cloudy or green one. If yours is already green, go straight to our green pool clean-up service.
Choose the schedule that fits the pool: weekly cleaning for pools that need consistent hands-on care, bi-weekly / fortnightly cleaning where conditions allow, or monthly cleaning for lower-use pools that remain stable between visits. We also do major cleans and once-off cleans after holidays, storms, building work, neglect or before a property handover.
Cleaning also tells us when the problem is not chemistry. Weak flow, air in the system or a noisy motor can point to a pool pump problem; persistent cloudiness can point to a filter problem; and unexplained water loss may need pool leak detection. Because the same crew can handle those faults, you do not have to start again with another contractor.

Questions
Pool Cleaning, answered
Do you offer weekly, bi-weekly and monthly pool cleaning?
Yes. Weekly cleaning is our main recurring service, and we also offer bi-weekly / fortnightly and monthly cleaning where the pool and usage suit that frequency.
Do you do once-off or major pool cleans?
Yes. We do once-off and major cleans for neglected pools, pools after storms or building work, holiday properties, handovers and pools that simply need a reset before going onto a regular plan.
What if the pool is already green?
That becomes a green-pool recovery rather than a normal maintenance clean. We assess the water, filtration and circulation, treat the algae, clean the pool and then move it onto a normal cleaning schedule once it is stable.
Can you repair equipment you find during a clean?
Yes. We handle pump installation and repairs, filter installation and repairs, leak detection and general pool repairs, so the issue can be diagnosed and quoted without sending you elsewhere.
