Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Aqeeq, Jeddah
Al Aqeeq is a subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah, part of a new urban extension mostly made up of newly released land plots and new housing, with active construction around the area. Pools here sit surrounded by fresh foundations and raised earth, and construction dust enters the water constantly.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Aqeeq
New developments in Obhur Al Shamaliyah need frequent treatment because construction dust and fresh foundations release fine particles without pause. For the method itself, see the full swimming pool cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Foundations and excavations around the home raise clouds of sand continuously
In a district under construction, digging and concrete work around each home release silica dust. This fine dust enters the pool directly and clogs the filter in days.
-
The second reason
Ongoing construction means unsettled earth and temporary boundaries
Raised and graded land awaiting building has no plants to hold it. Any breeze carries sand from the boundaries straight into the pool.
-
The third reason
New pool construction may have gaps beneath the structure that leak sediment
Recent pool builds can leave small gaps that allow groundwater seepage and sand to leak from beneath the foundation into the basin.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Aqeeq
A newly developing district within Obhur's northern expansion, with newly released plots and ongoing construction, main roads serving the area but building work continuing around every home.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Testing begins with turbidity and particle load before chlorine, because the filter may already be blocked before chemistry can be checked.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Brushing is gentle here because tile is new, but fine sand on walls needs a soft brush rather than vigorous scrubbing.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Vacuuming must be powerful and deep because sand settles rapidly and requires deep suction to lift.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
The skimmer and baskets fill with sand very quickly, so daily or near-daily cleaning is routine.
-
Filter backwash
The filter needs very frequent backwash, twice weekly or more during heavy construction periods.
-
Chemical balance reset
Chemical adjustment is straightforward, but turbidity may not drop for days even with intensive treatment.
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.

The character of Al Aqeeq
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
A new development district means the home and pool are surrounded by fresh foundations and raised earth with construction ongoing, exposing the water to repeated daily waves of sand and silica particles. Treatment focuses on managing continuous turbidity and water clarification rather than routine chemical maintenance.
Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Al Aqeeq
Will water quality improve once the construction around my home ends?
Yes, once building stops and the ground settles and vegetation grows, water will clear much more quickly and stay clear between services.
The water stays cloudy even with weekly treatment. Should I drain it completely?
Draining once or twice may help temporarily, but active construction will refill the water with sand again. Patience until building stops is necessary.
The skimmer fills with sand very fast. Is this normal?
Yes, a construction zone means the skimmer fills daily or every other day. Daily cleaning is routine until building work ends.
Does a construction site shade cloth over the pool protect against sand?
The cloth blocks leaves and coarse material, but fine silica particles penetrate the weave. The pool will need vigorous treatment regardless of cover.
The filter clogs every week. Is the filter faulty or is it the water?
The problem is the volume of fine sand in the water, not the filter itself. Twice-weekly backwash may become necessary during heavy construction.
How many years until the construction ends and the water clears?
Building around Obhur may take a year or two to complete in your immediate area. Once work stops, the water will clear rapidly.
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 Aqeeq 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 Aqeeq.
