Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Bashaer, Jeddah
Al Bashaer is a new district in east Jeddah on the Asfan ring road: new villas and apartments beside rest houses and subdivisions still under construction. The district is distant from the sea and the air is drier, but proximity to inland mountains means coarse mountain dust rises constantly from bare ground. Ongoing construction, fine sand and mountain terrain create difficult conditions for new pools.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Bashaer
Pools in Al Bashaer face coarse and fine mountain dust together: the nearby hills and active construction elevate different types of dust simultaneously. For the method itself, see our guide to swimming pool cleaning.
-
The first reason
Coarse mountain dust from the surrounding rocky formations
Hills immediately to the east release coarse heavy mountain dust. This dust differs from sea dust: its particles are larger and heavier, settling to the floor quickly but clogging filter media in a distinctive pattern. Deep filter cleaning every week is essential.
-
The second reason
Dry air speeds evaporation and chemical concentration
Distance from the sea and proximity to the hills mean very dry air. Evaporation is rapid, and chlorine and alkalinity concentrate fast. Testing every three days is necessary, not weekly, because the chemistry shifts faster.
-
The third reason
Ongoing construction adds cement dust to mountain dust
Neighbouring subdivisions under construction release additional cement and lime dust, mixing with the natural mountain dust. This combination clogs filters rapidly and leaves a grey layer on walls.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Bashaer
The district lies on the Asfan Ring Road in east Jeddah, distant from the coast and close to open ground and rocky formations. Most land and housing are still being released and built, and dust rises continuously from the changing terrain.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Water chemistry testing must occur at least every three days: dry air speeds evaporation and concentration dramatically.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Wall scraping is weekly here: mountain dust and cement leave a thick grey layer that needs regular removal.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Floor vacuuming reveals heavy mountain sediment: most of it settles immediately, which is beneficial.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
Skimmer and baskets fill with coarse mountain dust: cleaning every two days is necessary.
-
Filter backwash
Filter backwash must be forceful and weekly: mountain dust and cement clog media at a notably rapid rate.
-
Chemical balance reset
Chemical balance shifts very quickly: rapid evaporation and consumption demand closely spaced testing intervals.
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 Bashaer
Why does the filter lose pressure very rapidly here?
Coarse mountain dust and cement from construction together clog the filter at an unusual rate. Weekly or more frequent backwash is necessary.
Why does the water need more chemical adjustment than other districts?
Dry air speeds evaporation and concentration. Chlorine and alkalinity rise fast, and testing every three days is better than weekly.
The walls are always grey; does dust settle deep into the surface?
Yes, mountain dust and cement settle deep into the grout. Weekly scraping and strong chemical cleaning are both essential.
Should we drain the pool more than once per year here?
Possibly. If mountain dust accumulates heavily, a partial drain and deep cleaning help.
The water turns cloudy quickly despite the filter working; what is wrong?
Fine mountain particles float easily. We use a special clarifier to pull them to the floor for efficient removal.
How long will the nearby construction affect water quality?
As long as building continues. Once construction ends and the ground stabilises after two or three months, water quality improves noticeably.
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 Bashaer 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 Bashaer.
