Swimming Pool Cleaning in Al Zuhour, Jeddah
Al Zuhour is a new subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah: new villas and apartments sitting beside rest houses and subdivisions still under active construction. Building continues around the area, and fine sand and construction dust release continuously. The new pools here carry a specific load: construction dust is relentless, and the new system has not yet adapted to this pressure.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Zuhour
New pools in Al Zuhour face sustained construction dust more than any other district: active building around the area means dust is released constantly and unavoidably. For the method itself, see the full swimming pool cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Construction dust released continuously from digging and grading
Neighbouring subdivisions are still under construction, and excavation, concrete work and new pipework release construction dust that drifts into nearby pools. This dust contains cement, lime and mineral particles that all clog filters rapidly.
-
The second reason
New systems have not yet passed through a long settling-in period
Pools, pumps and filters are brand new. No usage patterns are yet established, and the system has not adapted to sustained pressure from construction dust. Special protective treatment may be needed from day one.
-
The third reason
Coastal humidity combined with construction dust creates thick layers
Proximity to the coast and coastal humidity mixed with construction dust create complex layered deposits on the water. These layers block light and accelerate bacterial growth, not just algae.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Al Zuhour
The district is part of the new urban tract north of Jeddah on the Jeddah Madinah Road, where land and housing are still being released and built, and neighbouring subdivisions under construction continuously raise dust.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Water chemistry testing from day one is essential: construction dust shifts properties fast, and new systems do not stabilise easily.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Wall scraping may be less urgent at first in Al Zuhour, but filter protection from dust is critical from the start.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Floor vacuuming reveals fine cement silt: this is normal in an area under active construction.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
Skimmer and baskets clog very fast: cleaning every two or three days is necessary.
-
Filter backwash
Filter backwash must be forceful and sometimes chemical: construction dust clogs media at an unusual rate.
-
Chemical balance reset
Chemical balance needs almost daily monitoring in the start-up phase: stability comes only with time.
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.
The character of Al Zuhour
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
New development means construction dust releases continuously from neighbouring building works, and the new system has not yet adapted to it. Treatment here focuses on protecting equipment and water from dust first, before anything else matters.
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 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 Zuhour
The pool is brand new; why does it need intensive treatment immediately?
Construction dust is released continuously from neighbouring subdivisions. New systems need protection from this dust from day one, and frequent testing keeps the water stable.
The new filter loses pressure very quickly; what is the reason?
Construction dust clogs the filter much faster than normal load. We backwash weekly or more often as long as building continues nearby.
Should we change the pool water more than once in the first year?
Possibly. If water quality does not stabilise despite treatment, a partial drain and refill help reset the system.
The water looks cloudy and turbid; is this from dust or algae?
Both at once. Dust reduces clarity and speeds algae growth. We use a clarifier and algaecide treatment together.
Should we close the pool for periods because of nearby construction?
Sometimes. If dust is very heavy and water quality does not improve, temporary closure with secure cover may become necessary.
When does water quality improve after neighbouring construction finishes?
Usually two or three months after the direct adjacent building stops. Dust and humidity need time to settle and stabilise.
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 Zuhour 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 Zuhour.
