Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Ajwad, Jeddah
Al Ajwad is a mixed district in north eastern Jeddah just east of the Haramain expressway, where villas and mid rise apartment buildings sit alongside shop frontages on Al Ajwad Street, next to Al Samir and Al Manar. The air here is drier than the coast and the dust is coarser than in northern neighbourhoods, blown from open ground and the ring roads.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Ajwad
Dry easterly air and coarse dust from the ring roads means the filter clogs in a different pattern, walls need strong brushing, and the floor needs deep vacuuming because larger particles settle fast. For the method itself, see how we approach swimming pool cleaning.
-
The first reason
Coarse dust from the ring roads settles quickly
Al Ajwad is eastern and far from the sea with open ground close by. Dust here is coarser and paler than coastal dust, sometimes called desert dust. This coarser dust clogs the filter with larger particles and needs stronger backwashing but shorter duration than the fine salt-laden dust from the seaside.
-
The second reason
Low humidity and fast chlorine loss
Dry air means chlorine evaporates faster than in coastal quarters. But low humidity means algae grows slower than it would in humid stagnant air. Chemistry is simpler than in damp quarters but chlorine needs frequent adjustment and monitoring.
-
The third reason
Mixed district means varied pool use
Al Ajwad holds villas, apartments and shops, so pools may be shared by apartment blocks or private to villas. Shared apartment pools carry heavier use load than isolated villa pools, and water chemistry crashes faster under continuous simultaneous use.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Ajwad
Al Ajwad is a mixed residential district in north eastern Jeddah east of the Haramain expressway with villas and mid rise apartment blocks and shop frontages on Al Ajwad Street, near Al Samir and Al Manar.
-
Water chemistry tested first
The first test in Al Ajwad focuses on chlorine, pH and coarse sediment levels, because coarse dust and dry air mean chemistry shifts differently than in coastal areas.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Walls need very strong brushing because coarse dust adheres to tile harder than fine dust does, and the particle size means mechanical scrubbing is more important.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Vacuuming must be thorough and deep because fine gravel from the roads settles on the floor fast and may not float to the skimmer like lighter dust does.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
The skimmer and baskets fill at a moderate rate from coarse dust and gravel, and may need weekly or twice weekly emptying depending on season.
-
Filter backwash
Filter backwash is stronger than for coastal fine dust but shorter in duration, because larger particles need forceful mechanical action but do not clog as stubbornly as fine salt dust.
-
Chemical balance reset
Chemical balance in Al Ajwad is simpler than in humid coastal areas but needs frequent chlorine adjustment because it evaporates fast in dry air.
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.
-
4
Vacuum the floor
Silt settles in the deep end and the corners the return jets never reach.
-
5
Clean the filter and baskets
The skimmer and pump baskets are cleared and the filter checked or backwashed.
-
6
Balance, dose, and walk it with you
With the water clean, we balance and dose, then walk the pool with you before leaving.

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 East Jeddah
East Jeddah lies furthest from the sea and closest to the open ground and hills beyond the ring roads, so the air is drier and the dust is coarser and paler than on the coast. It comes in under doors and settles on every flat surface overnight, making sofas, mattresses and curtains the heaviest part of the routine. Floors are mostly ceramic tile in the apartment districts and marble in the villa areas, both scratched by grit that is mopped rather than swept. Roof tank water leaves a grey film of sediment in baths and basins.
Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Al Ajwad
Is coarse dust from the ring roads different from coastal dust?
Yes, significantly different. Ring road dust is coarser and paler, clogs the filter fast but in a different pattern. Backwash is stronger but shorter than for fine coastal salt-laden dust.
Does dry air affect chemistry differently than humid coastal air?
Yes. Chlorine evaporates faster in dry air than in humid quarters, but algae grows slower without the damp stagnant conditions. Chemistry is simpler than in coastal areas but needs frequent chlorine adjustment.
Do mixed district shared pools need more cleaning than isolated villa pools?
Yes, if shared. Shared apartment block pools need weekly testing and semi-weekly physical cleaning. Private villa pools need less frequent attention.
Do roof tank sediments leave grey film in basin drains?
Yes. Roof tanks in Al Ajwad leave fine sediment, and fill water may carry particles that coat basins with a grey film. Fill water testing is needed and extra filtration may be required.
Do walls and floor need deeper cleaning in Al Ajwad than elsewhere?
Yes. Coarse dust adheres to tile harder than fine dust does, so brushing needs more force. The floor clogs with fine gravel particles that need thorough vacuuming.
Do Al Ajwad pools need a permanent mesh cover?
A mesh cover is very helpful. Dry air means a full cover could trap excess moisture. A mesh cover cuts dust entry while allowing air circulation, which is the best balance for this location.
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 Ajwad 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 Ajwad.
