Swimming Pool Cleaning in Quwaizah, Jeddah
Quwaizah is one of Jeddah's oldest districts in the south-east between valleys and mountains, a mixed neighbourhood with villas, apartments and shops. Pools here are rare and very old, needing careful testing because the area faced major floods and the ground is wet and mineral deposits are high.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Quwaizah
Pools here are very old and owners neglected them for years, so water at first testing is foul with sediment, algae and bacteria from neglect and groundwater contamination. For the method itself, see our guide to swimming pool cleaning.
-
The first reason
Nearby Wadi Al Qaws creates risk of groundwater seepage into pools
Wadi Al Qaws was the centre of Jeddah's famous 2009 flood, and soil around the district is damp with risk of foul groundwater entering pools. Seepage carries bacteria and organic pollutants, and water may reach decomposed states requiring complete draining.
-
The second reason
Surrounding hills and valleys send heavy mineral deposits
The hilly area around Quwaizah carries very high mineral deposits in groundwater. These seep into the soil and pools, leaving thick grey films on walls and floor. Water needs special treatment to remove settled minerals.
-
The third reason
Years of neglect mean completely decomposed pools
Some pools here have not been used for years, and water has turned to foul ponds. The floor is covered in thick mud, algae and bacteria layers, and water is black or brown. Complete draining and mechanical cleaning are necessary before fresh fill.
What swimming pool cleaning covers in Quwaizah
An old district between Wadi Al Qaws and surrounding hills, lying in the valley and hill belt east of the city, with damp soil and likely groundwater seepage, so water may be polluted with minerals from deep rock.
-
Water chemistry tested first
Testing water first determines pollution level and mineral deposits, and may show complete draining is necessary.
-
Brushing walls and waterline
Brushing walls focuses on removing thick grey mineral deposits rather than green algae, and may need special cleaner.
-
Vacuuming the pool floor
Vacuuming the floor weekly or more because dust, sediment and muddy layers may be very thick.
-
Skimmer and baskets cleaned
Cleaning skimmer and baskets weekly or every ten days, and mineral deposits may clog the screens.
-
Filter backwash
Filter backwashing every three to five days at first because heavy mineral deposits clog it quickly.
-
Chemical balance reset
Chemical balance adjustment needs frequent testing and treatment may differ from other areas because of deposits.
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.

Questions about swimming pool cleaning in Quwaizah
Does groundwater seepage from Wadi Al Qaws need special testing?
Yes. Groundwater seepage is possible and water may be polluted with bacteria. First water testing determines whether complete draining is necessary.
Do heavy mineral deposits need special chemical treatment?
Yes. Mineral deposits do not come off with simple brushing. We may need special solvents or partial draining to reduce sediment concentration.
How often should water be tested in a neglected old Quwaizah pool?
At first daily or every other day after fresh filling. Water from local wells may carry extremely high mineral deposits.
Does the filter clog faster than in other areas because of minerals?
Yes. Heavy mineral deposits clog the filter. Backwashing every three to five days at first, then weekly as water stabilises.
Do the surrounding hills send large amounts of dust to the pool?
Yes. Surrounding hills send dust and sand. Vacuuming weekly at minimum is necessary, and may need daily during windy seasons.
Are very old neglected pools here harder than new villas in other areas?
Yes. Years of neglect plus groundwater dampness plus heavy minerals make these the hardest pools. They may need aggressive treatment and frequent care.
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 Quwaizah 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 Quwaizah.
