Clear Water Pools

Efrain is highly recommended. I was in desperate need of a pool guy after a year & a half of neglecting my backyard and pool (photos with dolphin mosaic before & after to prove it). I found Clear Water Pool on Google at 8pm on a Sunday & Efrain came out the next morning to provide an estimate. He is extremely reliable, helpful, professional, and most of all VERY honest… which now-​a-​days it’s very hard to find. Efrain is always available when I text or call. You will not be disappointed.
I have been with Clear Water for over 3 yrs, pool is always spotless & clear even with the high winds we have up here in Sylmar.
If you are in need of a new pool guy, you won’t go wrong with Clear Water Pools… the best in San Fernando Valley!

Clear Water Pools does a great job keeping our pool clean. If I’ve had issues Efrain is real quick at getting back to me. They have also replaced our filter and pump when it became damaged. Thanks guys! Would recommend to friends/​family.

Having multiple properties in the San Fernando valley I count on my guys (gardeners, pool guys) to keep an eye on some of my properties. My last pool man quit with out notice and I didn’t realize it until it was too late for my pool. Efrain was recommended by a friend and he quickly turned my pool around. I recommend him and his company all the time. They’re very consistent, they work hard, and I’ve never had any problems. I trust them 100%

We were trying to sell a home out of state, and we found out from our real estate agent that our regular pool cleaner had not been coming. The pool was starting to turn green, and of course it would turn off potential buyers. Our real estate agent asked us to find a new pool cleaner asap. I called someone via Unilocal who had all great reviews, but he said he was too busy so he recommended Efrain @ Clearwater pools. We called, he got back to us, via phone and then text, and we set up an appointment for him to meet with our real estate agent. He met with him, gave us an estimate which we were fine with, and we asked him to start service on our pool. We texted him and left a message as he didn’t answer the phone.
We assumed he was cleaning our pool even though he had not gotten back to us in about 2 ½ weeks. We continued texting and leaving messages but didn’t hear back. I even asked him, «Hi, are you cleaning our pool? We are okay with the estimate you gave us. How do we pay you? Call me back.»
Well guess what happened to our pool; it was MORE GREEN than when we originally called! It was ridiculous! We were already in talks with a buyer at that point and they were not happy at all. I was so frustrated because I kept having my husband call and text, and then I called and texted, and I just wanted to get someone else to come out and do the job but my husband wanted to «give him a chance.»
I called him, left a message asking if he was still in business, but still no call back.
I think Efrain is VERY, very unprofessional. All he had to do was give us a call or text back saying he could not clean our pool and we would’ve found someone 3 WEEKS ago instead of allowing our pool to get more green. Just because we are out of town and can’t check on the pool doesn’t mean he should let us think he is cleaning the pool. That is ridiculous, and my husband was so nice and wanted to give him so many chances. We were both very disappointed at the end. I would not recommend him at all.
I found another guy on Unilocal called Oscar’s Pools, he was great. Prompt, efficient, and came by exactly when he said he would, and cleaned our pool for $ 175 one time fee. He took 2 days and we were already out of town but our agent went by a few days later and confirmed the pool looked much better.

Gave Efrain 2 shots. First time, his guy rolled up the solar blanket inside out, which you are not supposed to do because it damages the blanket, and left it like that instead of rolling back over the pool. We told Efrain to let his guy know and to be careful next time. Second time, I was just SHOCKED when I saw my pool. The solar blanket was rolled up the wrong way again and left there. There was barely enough water in the pool for the filtration system to function properly and finally, he left our pool vacuum robot in the pool. Wait, why would you use our robot when we are paying you to clean the pool!!! When we called him to ask him to pay us back because the solar blanket was now really damaged and it had cost us $ 300, he came up with all the excuses in the world. He told us it was not done intentionally and therefore, he didn’t have to pay for it. Well guess what? Accidents do happen and unfortunately you are still responsible for your acts. Then he said he was not the one who left it like that but his employee. Is he not responsible for his employee? He also told that anyway, we paid too much for the cover and that it should have only cost us $ 80. well maybe for a bad quality one. My husband still had the receipt and offered to show it to him. And finally he added that we were not supposed to use a solar blanket everyday but only 3 times per week. Really Efrain!!! Could you come up with more excuses than that!!! You are so UNPROFESSIONAL!

I’m a skeptic, but results speak for themselves.
I always go to Unilocal when looking for pretty much anything for the first time, and I spent the morning researching and calling all over town for a pool service trying to figure out why no matter what I do, my pool is cloudy and growing algae on the sides.
Efrain was the first to get back to me, and after explaining my needs to him over the phone, he quoted me a reasonable estimate and we set a time for the service, at 3pm that same day. (Which, in itself, is amazing, because the other couple companies I talked to couldn’t come out until the following day.)
It only took him 20 minutes to figure out the problem with why my pool was cloudy, resolve it, and scrub algae off the sides of the pool.
24 hours later, I’m pretty sure my pool is bluer and clearer now than it was when I moved into this house 5 months ago.
I don’t always leave Unilocal reviews, but when the service deserves it, I feel obligated to spend a few minutes spreading the word.
Thanks Efrain!
Highly recommended.

So far so good! Been with Clear Water Pools for about a month now for our monthly pool service. Efrain and Euri are both very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we’ve had. You can tell they take pride in their company and the work they do.

Moved in to my first home. First time ever having a pool. The pool had not been serviced in over 2 months… it was filthy with leaves & dirt. I had no idea what to do.
I called Clear Water. We spoke and I told them my dilemma. They came out right away told me that it would take a couple of days of filter cleanings and shock to clear it up. After a week my pool was spotless. Unbelievable what they were able to do. Thanks to Efren & his brothers.

Great family company. I’ve been with Clear Water for over a year now… could not be happier with their service. Efrain & his brother do a fantastic job keeping our pool clean even with all the trees in our backyard.

The poolman that was servicing our home when we purchased simply was not very reliable and would use more chlorine than was needed. After many itchy post swim weeks, and multiple requests to him to use less, we opted to find a new service provider. A friend of mine referred me to Clearwater pools. So far we’re 3 months in to the service and many weeks of swimming (who knew summer would start in march this year) and haven’t had any issues. Any concerns we have, Efrain has been prompt to address. So why 4 stars instead of 5? For a few reasons. 1. Efrain tends to get chatty at times and I simply don’t have the patience for small talk. 2. Service is still fairly new, we shall see how it goes in the long run. 3. Sometimes I simply don’t feel like giving everyone an excellent service score. Would I recommend them to friends and family? Absolutely, until I find something to dislike.

They have flooded my pool twice. They service the pool and leave the water on for hours while you’re at work. Customer service sucks and they don’t return calls. Thanks a lot clear water pools. Maybe it’s called clear water pools because the just overflow the crap out of your pool.

I’ve been having a lot of problems with my pool. I called Clear Water and had them come out to take a look. They suggested I get a bigger filter for the pool. My first thought was that they were just trying to make money off of me, but I was horribly mistaken. They got me an amazing deal on a bigger filter and my pool seriously went from brown/​green foggy water to clear blue in a matter of 2 hours. I had been trying to clear up my pool for months! I would definitely recommend their service and expertise to anyone in the area. I’ll definitely use them again if I have any pool issues! Thanks guys!

We had absolutely no idea where to begin to find pool service when my family moved into our first house in Lake Balboa. I read Clear Waters Unilocal reviews and called right away. Efrain answered our call and offered to come over that afternoon, meet my husband and talk about service and cost. We were so delighted to meet an honest, fair, professional owner in Efrain. His service is priced fair and his knowledge is comforting, as we are first time pool owners.
Clear Water also offers very flexible service. The staff is trustworthy and willing to enter through our side gate one week, and the garage door the next depending on our needs… and the needs of our dog. Efrain even had a quick fix on our pool light, which we thought would be a huge pain and was fixed promptly for a price less than we expected.

I called Ephrain on a Friday asking that he install a new pool pump. He fit me into his busy weekend schedule, and arrived the following day. He was courteous and did an excellent job in installing my pump and making sure all of the settings we set correctly. His price was also very reasonable. I highly recommend him!

I discovered Clear Water Pools through a friend of mine and could not be any happier with their services. Efrain and his staff take great pride in their work and really know what they’re doing. Whether I have a simple question about general pool maintenance or need help with a bigger pool problem, they have always been there to help me out.
Efrain is the best pool man in the business and has always provided me with an honest opinion and professional service. Not to mention, he always takes the time to explain things to me, which really shows me that he cares.
I can honestly say that I wouldn’t trust my pool to anyone else… and you shouldn’t either :)

With summer just round the corner, the guys at Clear Water pools certainly know how to take care of my pool! With all the winds that we have had lately in the valley I was really excited for the clear water team to come out and revive my pool! My pool looks like a beautiful oasis just the way it should. I have used other pool services in the past and they don’t take ride in their work. I am a happy customer and will use these guys for the lifetime of my pool!

Clear Water Pools are amazing. Efrain and his staff really take pride in their work. The service is very affordable, reliable, and extremely professional.
I’ve been using Clear Water Pools for over 3 years and have not had a problem with the service. They restored my pool from being a Green Monster to a Fabulous Blue swimable pool. Clear Water always want the best for my pool.
I recommend the pool service that Clear Water Pools provide.
