Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Najmah, Jeddah
Al Najmah is a new district within the Jawharat Al Arous scheme: most of the land is still vacant lots or under construction. Pools here are facing a problem that does not arise in established areas: fine sand from unsurfaced ground blows in constantly, new plumbing systems have not settled, and construction dust contaminates the water unpredictably.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Najmah
New pools in Al Najmah look spotless at first but fine sand and active construction elevate the dust and particulate load to levels not seen in completed districts. For the method itself, see our guide to swimming pool cleaning.
-
The first reason
Fine sand from unsurfaced land and open ground
Most of the district is vacant or under development, so fine sand blows into gardens, courtyards and pools easily from bare ground. This sand is lighter than heavy construction dust, so it stays suspended in water longer and clogs filters much faster.
-
The second reason
Construction dust from ongoing building raises permanent airborne load
The district sees continuous construction on neighbouring plots, and excavation, concrete works and new pipework raise construction dust that drifts into nearby pools. This dust contains cement and lime particles that shift water chemistry and clog filtration.
-
The third reason
New plumbing systems have not settled into stable long term use
Pools, pumps and filters in Al Najmah are newly installed. Working with them is different: there are no established usage patterns yet, and modern materials may need special treatment from day one to prevent later problems.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Najmah
The district lies northwest of the Madinah Road in Obhur Al Shamaliyah, where most land is still subdivided and building continues on neighbouring plots, and the proximity to the coast means salt-laden wind adds to the dust load.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Water chemistry testing from day one is essential: new systems do not stabilise easily, and sand enters the water quickly from the surroundings.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Wall scraping is less urgent at first in Al Najmah, but filter protection against sand is critical from the start.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Floor vacuuming turns up fine sand in quantity: this is normal in a new district where construction has not finished.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
Skimmer needs frequent cleaning: sand and dust enter much more easily than in completed districts.
-
Filter backwash
Filter backwash runs weekly at minimum: possibly more often if wind patterns blow sand across open ground nearby.
-
Chemical balance reset
Chemical balance takes longer to stabilise: we monitor closely in the early weeks while the district is forming.
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

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.

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

What is different about North Jeddah
North Jeddah is largely newer villa districts and compounds around Obhur and inland from it. Homes here tend to have marble or porcelain floors, large windows and a garden or courtyard, so the routine is set by what comes in from outside: fine sand carried on sandals, and sprinkler spray that dries to a chalky ring on tiles. Near the creek and the coast, sea air leaves a faint salt film on glass and on outdoor cushions, which stiffens fabric. Curtains and upholstery in these open plan rooms catch the dust that settles overnight.
Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Al Najmah
The pool is brand new; why does it need treatment and testing from day one?
New systems need precise measurement and balance immediately. Sand and dust from the new district enter them easily, and the filter needs frequent cleaning until it settles and stabilises.
Does construction dust damage new pumps and filters?
Yes, if the system is not protected. Construction dust contains very fine cement particles that clog filters. We add extra protection against this dust in the new district.
The new filter loses pressure quickly; why is this happening?
Fine sand from bare ground enters the filter much more easily than normal load. We backwash weekly at minimum in Al Najmah, possibly more often during windy months.
Should we change the pool water more often than the normal schedule?
It may become necessary. If water quality does not stabilise despite continuous treatment, a partial drain and refill can help reset the system.
The water looks cloudy despite the new filter; what is happening?
Fine sand remains suspended and causes fine cloudiness. We use a special clarifier that pulls these particles to the floor so they can be vacuumed out efficiently.
Does a new district need longer or more intensive treatment than older areas?
Yes, until construction finishes and the district stabilises. Once the roads are surfaced and the ground settles in two or three years, maintenance needs drop significantly.
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 Najmah 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 Najmah.
