Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Rawasi, Jeddah
Al Rawasi is a simple residential district in east Jeddah within the city's built up area, with relatively newer residential streets and a light residential character. Close to Mareekh Mountains and Wadi Al Qaws means humidity varies and dust is coarser than in the city proper. Pools here are typically small and simple, but water is affected by moisture from the valleys and fine dust from excavations around houses.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Rawasi
Pools here are relatively small and simple, water retains higher moisture than areas far from valleys, and black mould spots appear on walls very quickly. For the method itself, see the full swimming pool cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Nearby hills and wadis raise the humidity level
Al Rawasi is close to Mareekh Mountains and Wadi Al Qaws: the air is damper and the ground holds moisture after rain. Simple pools here retain damp water and mould appears fast on walls.
-
The second reason
Newer residential streets have not yet settled
The district is relatively new and streets may still have excavations and incomplete drainage work. Fine dust and sand from digging enters the pool quickly and water may stay cloudy.
-
The third reason
Simple houses have simple filters that are often weak
The district has a basic residential character: filters may be standard duty and not powerful. Water pressure may be weak and the skimmer may not operate efficiently. Testing on day one reveals the truth.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Rawasi
A residential district in east Jeddah close to the hills and valley belt, where humidity shifts with proximity to the wadi, and the ground may stay damp after rare rainfall.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Water from wells near wadis may carry minerals and high humidity, so testing first checks salinity and moisture levels: if high, we may need partial water change before dosing starts.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Walls in simple houses get mould fast because humidity is constantly high. Moderate brushing and precise pH testing prevents mould from returning quickly.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Vacuuming may find fine dust and sediment deposits: moderate suction rather than force is better because fine sand can disperse into the water column.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
The skimmer may not work efficiently: thorough cleaning and pressure testing is necessary, and we may need to clean the piping inside.
-
Filter backwash
The filter clogs fast: strong backwashing is essential and we may need to repeat the wash. We test pressure afterward to confirm improvement.
-
Chemical balance reset
After dosing we walk with you and explain: the moisture from location will persist but regular testing and a strong filter solve the problems.
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.
The character of Al Rawasi
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
Houses in Al Rawasi are mixed: some are slightly older and others newer. Different pipes and filter ages mean each house needs individual testing. Moisture from the wadis may affect the foundation, so we recommend regular checks for leaks in the structure.
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 Rawasi
Does humidity from the nearby wadi mean permanently green water?
Humidity does not mean green but mould appears faster. Precise testing of chlorine and pH prevents algae. You may need testing every five days in summer.
Do excavations around the house raise the ground moisture beneath the pool?
Yes: digging may bring groundwater to the surface. Extra moisture under the pool may affect the foundation. Checking for leaks and piping issues is essential.
The water is cloudy from dust in the digs. How long until it clears?
It may take days if digging is ongoing. A strong filter and regular testing prevent it from getting worse. After construction ends things may improve.
Is a standard filter enough or do I need a strong one?
Standard filter may not be adequate in a district carrying moisture and fine dust. Pressure testing tells you: if weak, a stronger filter is recommended.
The skimmer is not collecting debris even though the pump runs. Why?
The pump may be weak or the skimmer may be clogged. Thorough cleaning and pressure testing tells you. If no improvement a stronger pump may be needed.
How often should the filter be cleaned in Al Rawasi?
Every week to ten days in summer: humidity and dust clog the filter faster. In winter every two weeks may be enough.
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 Rawasi 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 Rawasi.
