Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Quraiyat, Jeddah
Al Quraiyat is an old popular district in south Jeddah within the Al Jamiah sub-municipality, densely occupied by ageing apartment blocks between Al Thaalibah and the Nazlah quarters. The dust here is darker and oilier than in the north, a mix of diesel soot and workshop grit that clings to window sills and tops of kitchen cupboards, and floors are often plain cement or old ceramic tile that darkens where soot is walked in.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Quraiyat
Dust in south Jeddah carries diesel soot from trucks and industry, not clean desert dust. Humidity and stale air smell are part of pool life here. For the method itself, see how we approach swimming pool cleaning.
-
The first reason
Industrial soot is harder to remove from walls than natural dust
South Jeddah lies under the truck routes and industrial zone, so dust carries diesel soot and heavy oils. This settles on pool walls and waterline as a brown layer that plain water does not remove.
-
The second reason
Humidity plus soot creates rapid bacterial growth
Warm damp sea air mixes with diesel soot and heavy metals, creating a poor environment for bacterial control. Water may look clear but holds stale odour even when chlorine is adequate.
-
The third reason
Old floors and plain cement darken easily and permanently
Pools in Al Quraiyat often have plain cement or old ceramic tile. Soot settles and darkens them, and cleaning takes hard scrubbing that may leave permanent staining.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Quraiyat
Al Quraiyat sits between the port and the heavy goods roads, where dust is darker and more oily, and coastal humidity adds mildew in bathrooms.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Al Quraiyat is old and polluted, so water carries heavy minerals and soot; pH testing shows rapid drift because of industrial contamination.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Brown walls from soot need deep hard brushing; light scraping does nothing on this type of soiling.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
The floor is covered in heavy brown sediment; vacuuming needs more power than other areas.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
Skimmers and baskets fill with heavy soot quickly, so we empty them more than once per visit.
-
Filter backwash
The filter clogs very fast from heavy soot; we backwash carefully and watch pressure closely.
-
Chemical balance reset
Chemical balance here needs very frequent testing because soot and metals shift the balance continuously.
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 Quraiyat
Al Quraiyat lies between the College of Telecommunications and Electronics to the west and King Khalid Road to the east, which defines how our team reaches the pool. Narrow lanes and crowded buildings mean we plan access carefully before arriving.

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 Quraiyat
Why does the water smell odd even when chlorine is high?
South Jeddah has industrial soot and bacteria that coexist. Odour may come from bacteria that survive because of soot concentration. We test chlorine and pH closely and wash the filter thoroughly.
Pool walls are brown from soot. How do you clean this?
Heavy soot needs hard brushing and may require special products to lift it. Light scrubbing does not work on this type of contamination.
Does soot affect the chemical balance of the water?
Yes, soot and heavy metals shift pH quickly. We test at every visit because balance does not hold steady here.
How often should an Al Quraiyat pool be serviced each year?
Every two weeks in summer and every three weeks in winter minimum. Soot and humidity together mean continuous cleaning cycles.
The filter clogs constantly. Does it need replacement?
Heavy soot clogs the filter quickly. It may not need replacement but requires more frequent backwashing and closer pressure monitoring.
Does coastal humidity here create extra problems?
Yes, humidity supports fungi and bacteria alongside soot. This means chlorine alone is not enough to keep the water clean.
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 Quraiyat 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 Quraiyat.
