Aqua Clear were engaged by Macdonald Hotels & Resorts in 2011 to look at our water and wastewater consumption & costs. Since then, we have had a very successful, productive, and gainful relationship. To date they have saved us a substantial and notable amount of money and we have benefitted from year-on-year savings. We have found them to be professional, hardworking, and diligent…. working with Aqua Clear is made easy as they just get straight to it and it’s evident in the efficiency and accuracy of their work that they are clearly passionate about what they do and how they do it. We now use Aqua Clear to arrange our water contracts for the whole of Scotland & England – to provide, cost and manage our water, energy and chemical saving projects for our Hotels, Resorts, Pools & Spa’s throughout the UK. We have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.
