Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Asalah, Jeddah
Al Asalah pools face a unique challenge: the new district and continuous building mean dust, sand and workshop grit enter pools constantly. Unfinished ground levels and unasphalt streets raise the contaminant load far above what established old neighbourhoods experience.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Asalah
Pools here need skimmer and basket cleaning nearly twice daily because dust from construction projects continuously enters from adjacent work sites. For the method itself, see the full swimming pool cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Wadi Obhur carries sand and sediment with rare seasonal floods
Wadi Obhur runs through Al Asalah, and during rare rainy periods it carries sand, silt and pollutants. Even dry, the wadi sends fine sand spray on windy days. This adds extra burden to pools nearby.
-
The second reason
Ongoing construction releases concrete dust and metal particles
Ongoing building throughout the district means excavation, concrete pouring and steel cutting. Concrete dust spreads and enters pools. This dry, gritty dust clogs filters quickly and leaves a white layer on floors and walls.
-
The third reason
Unasphalt streets lift dust with every movement and wind
Most Al Asalah streets are not yet paved, so vehicles and foot traffic easily lift dust. This dust enters gardens and pools. During windy season, this becomes a major pollution source.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Asalah
A newly established northern district close to King Abdullah Sports City between Madinah Road and the Haramain expressway, with villas and apartments still under construction, where Wadi Obhur passes through and drainage and road infrastructure remain incomplete.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Testing chemical balance is weekly, but the real challenge is physical contaminants from construction and dust. Chlorine works naturally, but filter cleaning and vacuuming are the main priorities.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Wall brushing weekly because concrete dust leaves a white layer, and algae grows slowly here due to heavy suspended matter blocking sunlight.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Floor vacuuming nearly daily because sand and dust settle rapidly in the pool basin.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
Skimmer and basket cleaning twice daily because construction dust and wind-blown debris fill the skimmer basket very quickly.
-
Filter backwash
Filter backwash weekly minimum, possibly twice weekly during heavy construction, because concrete and sand clog the media fast. Media replacement may be needed sooner than standard schedules.
-
Chemical balance reset
Resetting chemical balance is weekly, but the real priority here is physical contaminant removal from construction dust, dirt and sand through frequent vacuuming and backwashing.
Not included

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.

Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Al Asalah
Why is my pool water slightly white-tinted, not just cloudy?
Concrete dust from construction leaves white particles suspended in the water. This is not algae but building debris. We use strong settling agents and increase vacuuming frequency. We may recommend partial water changes if pollution is very heavy.
Will construction around my pool affect water quality forever?
No, the impact is temporary. As construction completes and roads are paved, contaminants will drop significantly. We advise patience and increased service frequency now. In a year or two, the district will stabilise and cleaning will become easier.
Does Wadi Obhur mean flash floods will enter the pool?
Flash floods are rare, but when they occur sand, silt and contaminants may enter. Dry wind from the wadi also carries fine sand spray. We monitor weather and increase visits after rain or strong winds.
Should I close the pool during heavy construction periods?
No, but use may be uncomfortable if dust is very heavy. We advise against opening on days of strong winds or intense construction. We work with you to find the best schedule.
How often does the filter need backwashing in Al Asalah?
Weekly at minimum, possibly twice weekly during heavy construction periods. Concrete dust and sand clog the filter quickly. You may need filter media replacement sooner than in older settled districts.
Will water quality improve after construction finishes?
Yes, significantly. As streets complete, foundations finish and landscaping establishes, contaminant levels will drop sharply. Testing and cleaning will become easier and less frequent within a year or two.
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 Asalah 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 Asalah.
