Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Marefah, Jeddah
Al Marefah is a new development in north Jeddah within the Obhur and Taybah area, served by main roads connecting to the Jeddah Madinah Road. Construction is ongoing and vacant plots surround the homes, so fine dust from raw earth, excavation and concrete work enters the water daily.

- Price agreed before we start

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Marefah
Fine dust from excavation and ongoing construction enters the water daily, and the filter clogs from fine particles faster than in fully built settled neighbourhoods because building work is constant. For the method itself, see our swimming pool cleaning service in detail.
-
The first reason
Active construction around the pool increases the load
Al Marefah is a district under development with constant building and excavation. Dust from concrete structures and earthworks enters the water every day. The filter needs stronger and more frequent backwashing than in settled neighbourhoods. Water can turn cloudy quickly if cleaning is not kept frequent during active building phases.
-
The second reason
Vacant plots and fine dust from raw earth
Vacant land around new villas means air is laden with fine dust rising from bare earth. This dust settles beneath the surface rather than floating, and needs strong deep vacuuming. Floors and walls require more thorough cleaning than in fully built districts because sediment compacts on surfaces faster.
-
The third reason
First year is critical: filter and pump settling
New pools in newly developing districts need a settling-in period. The filter may need different pressure adjustment in the early months, and the pump may need extra care if the filter clogs quickly under the heavy dust load. After the first year cleaning may reduce, but the initial twelve months are critical to establishing good practice.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Marefah
Al Marefah is a northern district within the Obhur and Taybah area of north Jeddah with ongoing construction and vacant plots between homes, served by main roads connecting to Jeddah Madinah Road.
-
Water chemistry tested first
The first test in Al Marefah focuses on chlorine, pH and suspended fine sediment levels, because ongoing construction means continuous concrete dust that shifts water balance unpredictably.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Walls need very strong brushing because fine excavation dust clings firmly to tile and requires deep cleaning to prevent a permanent grey layer from forming.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Vacuuming must be very thorough and deep because fine construction dust settles on the floor quickly and compacts there, unlike ordinary dust that floats and moves to the skimmer.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
The skimmer and baskets fill very rapidly from concrete particles and fine dust, and may need cleaning every three days during heavy building phases to prevent circulation restriction.
-
Filter backwash
Filter backwash needs high pressure and long duration because fine concrete dust clogs the element fast and clings stubbornly, requiring forceful mechanical action to clear.
-
Chemical balance reset
Chemical balance in Al Marefah needs precise adjustment during the first year because construction dust composition changes rapidly depending on which building phases are active.
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.
Landmarks of Al Marefah
Al Marefah is located within the Obhur and Taybah area in north Jeddah, accessible via the Jeddah Madinah Road or King Abdulaziz Road. The new pool district here is surrounded by vacant plots and active construction on all sides, with Abhor Mall serving the broader neighbourhood.

Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Al Marefah
Do new pools in new development districts need daily cleaning at first?
During the first year, yes: weekly testing and semi-weekly physical cleaning. Ongoing construction means constant dust and filter clogging. After building settles, cleaning frequency can reduce, but the first year is critical because dust loads are unpredictable.
Is dust from excavation and new concrete different from ordinary dust?
Yes, very different. Excavation dust is extremely fine and heavy, settling beneath the water surface fast rather than floating. This means deeper vacuuming and filter clogging much faster than ordinary airborne dust would cause.
Should the pool be drained for deep cleaning during the first construction year?
Rarely. Deep cleaning by vacuuming and brushing is usually sufficient. Full drainage may only be useful if construction settles for more than six months and a thick sediment layer accumulates that vacuum alone cannot clear.
Does air from the nearby Jeddah Madinah Road affect new pools here?
Yes. The Jeddah Madinah Road carries road dust and exhaust. In the first year of the district's development, this road dust combined with excavation dust means a doubled load on the filter.
Does a new filter need special startup adjustment in a new district?
Yes. New filters need pressure calibration at startup. It may take two or three weeks to find the ideal operating pressure, and during this period more frequent cleaning than usual may be necessary to prevent sudden pressure spikes.
Can cleaning frequency be reduced after construction settles nearby?
Yes, absolutely. Six months after building activity ceases, water stabilises and the filter clogs less. Cleaning can reduce from weekly to twice monthly, but the first months are critical for establishing proper baseline maintenance.
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 Marefah 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 Marefah.
