Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Abeer, Jeddah
Al Abeer is a subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah, newly built and simply designed, with modern villas and apartments sitting on wide open land with large courtyards and gardens. Fine sand from the open ground and light sea salt from the relative nearness of the gulf enter the water, and wide open courtyards allow good air flow but direct sun exposure speeds evaporation.
- A full team, not one person
- Price agreed before we start

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Abeer
Wide plots and large courtyards provide room for pool maintenance, and the neighbourhood is newly developed compared to older districts. Sea salt influence is light here compared to Abhur South. For the method itself, see our guide to swimming pool cleaning.
-
The first reason
Fine sand from open bare ground enters the water readily
Wide undeveloped land around Al Abeer is bare of vegetation, and wind carries fine sand into courtyards and pools. This sand settles in the water and makes the filter clog weekly.
-
The second reason
Wide open courtyards allow good air flow but speed water loss
No high walls around courtyards allow good ventilation and chlorine does not dissipate slowly, but direct sun causes rapid evaporation. Water level drop is noticeable weekly in summer.
-
The third reason
Light sea salt from relative nearness to the gulf
The gulf is relatively close and air carries light salt. This does not create major problems like Abhur South but may show in strong winds, and testing may need to include salt occasionally.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Abeer
A subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah forming part of the new urban development tract, mostly newly released residential land, connected by main roads to the Jeddah Madinah Road and King Abdulaziz Road.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Water testing needs to be regular because rapid evaporation shifts concentration fast, and salt may show in strong winds.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Wall and floor brushing is frequent because sand and direct sun exposure speed algae growth.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Floor vacuuming is weekly because fine sand enters from open land and wind.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
Skimmer and baskets need frequent cleaning from sand and leaves if gardens are nearby.
-
Filter backwash
Filter backwash is weekly or every ten days because of sand and dust from open courtyards.
-
Chemical balance reset
Chemical balance may shift from rapid evaporation, so testing should be regular, every three days.
Not included
- Repairing pumps, filters or pool plumbing
- Fixing cracks, leaks or replacing tile
- Draining and acid-washing an empty pool, that is a separate service
- Removing permanent staining from metals or long-neglected plaster
How a pool is actually cleaned
-
1
Test before we add anything
pH, sanitiser and hardness are read at the start.
-
2
Skim and net first
Floating leaves and debris come off before we brush.
-
3
Brush walls, steps and waterline
Algae and the oily waterline film cling to the surfaces.
-

Vacuum the floor
Silt settles in the deep end and the corners the return jets never reach.
-
5

Balance, dose, and walk it with you
With the water clean, we balance and dose, then walk the pool with you before leaving.
The character of Al Abeer
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
New development district with characteristically wide courtyards and open land. Sand and rapid evaporation from direct sun and wind are the main challenges, and light sea salt enters during strong winds. Open courtyards provide good air flow but create challenges from evaporation and sand entry.
Why us for this service in particular
A full team arrives together
The company runs a large crew, and we send a team rather than one person.
Our equipment, not rented
Pumps, vacuum heads and the test kit come with the team.
We say no when it's no
If the pump or the plumbing is the real problem, we tell you.
From our work
Photographs from real jobs carried out by the crew.
The job isn't closed until you approve it
The commitment is simple enough to actually keep: we don't leave until you've seen the result and had your say on it.
What is different about North Jeddah
North Jeddah is largely newer villa districts and compounds around Obhur and inland from it. Homes here tend to have marble or porcelain floors, large windows and a garden or courtyard, so the routine is set by what comes in from outside: fine sand carried on sandals, and sprinkler spray that dries to a chalky ring on tiles. Near the creek and the coast, sea air leaves a faint salt film on glass and on outdoor cushions, which stiffens fabric. Curtains and upholstery in these open plan rooms catch the dust that settles overnight.
Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Al Abeer
Does sand from the wide open bare ground enter the pools?
Yes, winds carry fine sand from bare land. The filter clogs weekly or more often, and the floor needs regular vacuuming.
How quickly does water level drop in these open courtyards?
Rapid evaporation in wide open courtyards causes noticeable weekly level drop in summer. Water may need to be added weekly or fortnightly.
Does sea salt affect the water quality in Al Abeer?
Impact is light compared to Abhur South. Strong winds may bring light salt in, and testing may include salt checks occasionally.
Do wide open courtyards make pool maintenance easier or harder?
Wide courtyards provide room to work and good air circulation, but sun and wind exposure create evaporation and sand entry challenges.
Do brand new villas need special early treatment in Al Abeer?
Very new villas may shed paint dust for the first two months, but the effect is lighter than other areas. Water may be slightly cloudy at first.
Do gardens and plants around pools add to maintenance work?
Some villas have gardens that shed leaves into the water. Skimmer cleaning may be more frequent, but gardens provide useful shade.
Do you repair pumps or filters?
No. We clean and balance the water and clear the baskets and filter, but repairing pumps, motors or plumbing is a separate trade. If we find a mechanical fault, we tell you what it is so you can get it fixed.
Do you drain the pool to clean it?
Not for a normal clean. Vacuuming, brushing and balancing are all done with the pool full. Draining and acid-washing is only for specific cases like heavy staining or a full reset, and that is a separate service we'd discuss first.
How much does swimming pool cleaning in Al Abeer cost?
It is set after the inspection, because it follows the size of the job, the materials involved and their condition. Send photos on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Abeer.
