Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Tadamun, Jeddah
Al Tadamun is an administratively defined residential district in the inland stretch of south Jeddah, east of Al Khumrah, within the area served by Al Lith Road and the Middle Ring Road. Newer villas with private pools sit at low residential density, but the location between the port and heavy goods routes means dark oily dust and diesel soot, and water needs careful treatment for particle pollution.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Tadamun
Pools here are simple in newer villas, water retains coastal humidity but dark soot and workshop dust enters fast and the filter clogs faster than elsewhere. For the method itself, see the full swimming pool cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Soot and grease from heavy roads contaminate the water
Al Tadamun is close to heavy truck roads and the port: dust is darker and oilier than inland. Diesel particles and oils enter the pool and leave an oily film. The filter clogs faster and the water may need deep cleaning.
-
The second reason
Coastal humidity plus soot cause very fast mould
The location between port and roads means humidity plus soot: walls blacken extremely quickly. Brushing needs care and testing must check for oils and grease, not just chlorine levels.
-
The third reason
New villas with marble floors need precision here
Villas are relatively new but sit in a poor location: humidity and soot damage marble surfaces fast. Carefully treated water and regular testing are absolutely necessary.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Tadamun
A residential district in the inland extension of south Jeddah, set back slightly from the port but near heavy transport roads, where dust is darker and oilier than in the north.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Water may carry oily soot particles from the air, so testing first checks for oils and free chlorine precisely: if oils are high we may need supplementary treatment before chlorine dosing.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
New marble walls are quickly coated in black soot: standard brushing may not be enough, so strong washing first then gentle brushing better protects the surface.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Vacuuming may find oily sediments on the floor: moderate suction rather than force is needed because the deposits may resuspend into the water if forced.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
The skimmer fills with soot and debris: thorough cleaning inside and out is essential, and light disassembly may be necessary.
-
Filter backwash
The filter clogs very fast from soot: strong backwashing is essential and we may need to backwash twice. We test pressure afterward to confirm improvement.
-
Chemical balance reset
After dosing we walk with you and advise: the location is poor but regular testing, a strong filter and precise treatment solve the problems.
Not included
- Repairing pumps, filters or pool plumbing

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.

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 Tadamun
Does soot from trucks enter the pool directly or only through the air?
Through the air: fine diesel particles are carried on the wind and settle on water and walls. The filter clogs faster and the water may smell strange.
The water has an odd smell. Is this from the soot or something else?
It may be soot or oils in the water. Chemical testing tells you: testing for oils and free chlorine is necessary. If the smell is strong, complete water change may be needed.
Is the water safe to swim in or does the soot irritate the skin?
Testing on day one tells you: if oil levels are very high they can cause irritation. Strong pre-treatment may be necessary before swimming is safe.
The walls are black from soot at the top. Should I clean them specially?
Standard brushing may not be enough: strong washing first then moderate brushing is better. Water testing must be very precise because particles can clog the filter.
The filter clogs extremely fast here. Why is that?
Soot and oils clog the filter faster than clean areas. Strong and frequent backwashing is absolutely necessary. You may need backwash every five days.
Do you recommend special chemicals for soot and oil particles?
Testing tells us: if oil levels are high we may need a dispersant or supplementary treatment. Chlorine alone may not be adequate.
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.
