Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Salihiyah, Jeddah
Al Salihiyah is a new district in north Jeddah east of Al Hamdaniyah and south of Al Falah, subdivided into new villas and apartments with vacant plots still lying between buildings. Most pools here sit in brand new homes, but the district is actively developing and construction is ongoing around almost every villa. Courtyard and garden land often remains bare and unlandscaped. Heavy construction dust and exposed ground fill the water with sediment quickly, and the chemistry drifts before new owners realise what has changed.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Salihiyah
Almost every pool here sits in a brand new villa, but the developing district around them is under constant construction. Building dust and exposed ground fill the water with deposits very quickly. For the method itself, see the full swimming pool cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Continuous construction around villas raises heavy dust and particles constantly
Al Salihiyah is brand new and building never stops: villas beside villas and land under development on every side. Cement dust and excavation debris blow directly from neighbouring sites into pools. The filter and vacuum carry a heavy load from this dust.
-
The second reason
Villa courtyards are bare sand with no landscaping yet established
Most new homeowners have not yet designed or completed their garden or courtyard, so the ground sits bare sand. Wind carries fine sand into the pool continuously, and sediment settles to the floor quickly before filtration can clear it.
-
The third reason
Brand new systems have not yet experienced a full Jeddah summer cycle
Most villas were built in the past year and pools are extremely recent installations. This first full summer may be a shock: extreme heat and first time use expose problems quickly. Filters may struggle and chemistry swings wildly.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Salihiyah
A new district in north Jeddah east of Al Hamdaniyah and south of Al Falah and Al Rahmaniyah, reached by Al Furusiyah Street, laid out as subdivisions of new villas and apartments with vacant plots between the buildings.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Water in Al Salihiyah carries heavy construction dust and sand from exposed land, so we test suspended particles and alkalinity first.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Walls and waterline trap construction dust and fine sand heavily, so brushing is vigorous and may be repeated during the visit.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
The floor collects sand and dust very quickly because the district is developing and ground is exposed, so vacuuming is frequent and thorough.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
Skimmer and basket catch far more construction dust and sand than established areas, needing deep regular cleaning.
-
Filter backwash
The brand new filter medium collects fine construction particles deep inside, so backwashing is very vigorous and clean water rinsing follows.
-
Chemical balance reset
The final chemical reset focuses on removing dissolved dust particles and reducing alkalinity from sand and soil.
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 Salihiyah
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
A newly developed district means continuous construction and bare exposed land with no planting yet. Cement dust and excavation debris blow from neighbouring building sites, and sand infiltrates from unlandscaped courtyard ground. This makes the pool dirty much faster than in fully completed and planted neighbourhoods.

Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Al Salihiyah
Will construction dust from the new site next door stop after a year or two?
Usually dust reduces once building finishes around your villa. But in the early period expect weekly or more frequent servicing.
Sand enters my pool even though there is no building work next door. Where does it come from?
Bare sandy courtyard land and the wind. Even without adjacent construction, sand infiltrates under doors and windows.
How do I know when the construction dust stops and the district becomes stable?
When building sites around your villa finish and the neighbourhood reaches completion. Then you will notice dust dropping rapidly.
Is weekly servicing enough for a developing district or do I need more often?
Early on, if construction is close, you may need twice weekly. After a year, weekly is sufficient.
Can a brand new filter handle the heavy construction dust load?
Modern filters are capable, but heavy dust load will clog them faster. We clean them with more vigorous backwashing and more frequent cycles.
What is the main street name for Al Salihiyah so I can help you find the villa?
Al Furusiyah Street is the primary access. Most villas are addressed near Al Furusiyah or by the nearby mosques.
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 Salihiyah 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 Salihiyah.
