Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Asaliyah, Jeddah
Al Asaliyah is a small locality in the outer south-eastern part of Jeddah, administratively grouped with Bahrah, lying between the Jeddah Makkah Expressway and heavy industrial activity. Pools here are few and scattered through light residential villas and some apartment blocks set amid open land, and water is affected rapidly by heavy dust from factories and the expressway.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Asaliyah
Al Asaliyah pools are rare and generally smaller than district averages, and water carries heavy factory and highway dust more than any inner neighbourhood does. For the method itself, see the full swimming pool cleaning page.
-
The first reason
The expressway and heavy industrial dust load
The Jeddah Makkah Expressway sits very close and carries large mixed freight constantly. Dust here is heavy and dark, a mixture of asphalt grit, cement particles and metal fragments from nearby factories. Water clouds rapidly and the filter clogs much faster than in cleaner districts.
-
The second reason
Factories and industrial processing plants nearby
Khayyat Red Brick Factory and other processing plants sit close by. Dust from these industries is heavier than from light manufacturing and contains metals and chemical residues. Pool water requires very powerful filtration and more frequent backwashing.
-
The third reason
Outlying position and exposure to multi-directional wind
The outer location means pools are exposed to wind from all directions. Wind from factories and the expressway carries more dust than in neighbourhoods sheltered by buildings. Water loses clarity very rapidly and the dust settles to the floor faster than it would upwind.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Asaliyah
A small outer locality combining light residential development with open land extending toward Bahrah and Makkah, positioned between factories and the expressway.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Initial testing determines the suspended particulate load and whether partial draining is necessary before treatment begins.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Brushing may be less critical than vacuuming here because heavy industrial dust settles to the floor rather than adhering to walls.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Floor vacuuming is critical because industrial dust accumulates on the bottom much faster than in clean districts.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
The skimmer fills more slowly than in some other areas but its contents will be dense with heavy metals and particulates.
-
Filter backwash
Backwashing may be frequent and vigorous, and the system may require extra water because dust compacts the filter media.
-
Chemical balance reset
Final chemical balance requires careful monitoring because particles interact with chlorine differently than organic contaminants do.
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.
Landmarks of Al Asaliyah
Al Asaliyah pools sit near the Jeddah Makkah Expressway and Al Jumum Road, and access to them is organised by proximity to Khayyat Red Brick Factory and Bahrah Health Center which define the main approach routes through the district.

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 South Jeddah
South Jeddah runs from the port and the industrial city down towards Al Khumrah, and homes here sit between the sea and the heavy goods roads. The dust is darker and oilier than in the north, a mix of diesel soot and workshop grit, and it clings to net curtains, window sills and the tops of kitchen cupboards. Floors in the older low rise housing are often plain cement or ceramic tile that darkens where soot is walked in. Humidity from the coast adds mildew in bathrooms and a musty smell in stored fabrics.
Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Al Asaliyah
Does dust from the brick factory directly foul the pool water?
Yes, Khayyat Factory and similar plants nearby emit red and white dust. This dust enters the water on air currents and embeds as mineral particles. Testing shows metallic content in water even after filtration.
How does factory dust differ from ordinary road dust?
Factory dust is heavier and settles to the floor rather than remaining suspended. The filter needs more powerful backwashing, and replacement cycles are shorter because the dust compacts the media faster.
Does wind from the expressway increase water contamination?
Yes, strong wind from the expressway carries asphalt and metal particles. On high-wind days the water may cloud visibly within a few hours of cleaning.
How often must the filter be backwashed here in Al Asaliyah?
At least every three days, possibly twice weekly during windy seasons. Heavy dust fills the filter very quickly and defeats the purpose of filtration if not maintained.
Must the pool be drained frequently due to contamination?
Light contamination is handled by backwashing alone. Severe contamination may require partial draining and refilling every two or three months to keep mineral load manageable.
Does water in Al Asaliyah need different chemistry than cleaner districts?
Chemistry protocols are the same, but dosage differs. Dust-heavy water may require increased chlorine because particles reduce its potency and shield algae from treatment.
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 Asaliyah 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 Asaliyah.
