Swimming pool cleaning in Al Mahamid, Jeddah

Al Mahamid is unplanned low rise housing on the eastern edge of Jeddah beside Old Makkah Road, with old drainage networks and many unpaved streets. The district falls within a programme to reorganise informal areas under Umm Al Salam sub-municipality and sits on wadi drainage lines carrying hill water. Pools here face varied contamination: mud from valleys, dust from unmade roads and pollution from old drainage.

Why a clean pool needs more than skimming

Old unplanned housing in east Jeddah near Old Makkah Road. Many streets remain unpaved and drainage is very old. The district sits on wadi lines draining hill water eastward.

Algae spreads faster than it looks

Soil metals from old streets and drainage pollution may be harmful to children if concentrated, requiring weekly bacterial and metal testing.
Filter performance drops quietly

Pool filters clog rapidly from heavy mud and metallic dust, needing washing three times weekly or even daily during rain seasons.
Chemistry imbalance damages pool surfaces

Winter and spring seasons increase pollution by 200 per cent because of rain and nearby valleys.
Floor sediment clouds the water

Walls and steps accumulate thick layers of dried mud and metals requiring specialised cleaning with strong brushes and high pressure water.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Mahamid

Unpaved streets turn light rain into thick mud filling streets. This mud dries to fine dust settling on all surfaces. Pools in the district experience peak pollution one or two weeks after rain, when dried deposits become airborne. For the whole method, see swimming pool cleaning in detail.

The first reason
Old drainage networks concentrate bacterial contaminants directly

Ancient drainage networks in the district are damaged, broken or incomplete. Sewage water may cross streets or leak underground near pools. Bacteria and heavy metals from drainage may enter pools in unexpected ways. Bacterial testing is essential in this district weekly.
The second reason
Unpaved streets generate heavy metallic dust

Most streets are earth. When a car passes, dust is kicked up powerfully. This dust contains metals from soil and old building fragments. This metallic dust is heavier and stickier than desert sand. It clogs filters fast and leaves stubborn deposits on walls.
The third reason
Nearby valleys push mud and water directly into the district

The district sits on wadi drainage lines, so rain runoff comes directly from hills. Mud from hills arrives heavy and fast. After rain, streets become thick with mud. When it dries, it becomes complex dust. Filters and walls accumulate heavy deposits.

The character of Al Mahamid

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Mixed-use informal housing means pools sit near damaged drainage networks and unpaved streets, adding bacterial and heavy metal pollutants to physical contaminants. This requires multi-layer protection.

What the pool looks like after the visit

Water within correct chemistry range

pH, alkalinity, and sanitiser levels are tested and adjusted during the visit.

Walls and floor visibly clean

Brushed walls and a vacuumed floor leave no algae film, no sediment layer, and no debris settled at the drain or on the steps.

Filter running at rated flow

The backwashed filter discharges freely and the pressure gauge reads within its normal operating band.

What is different about East Jeddah

East Jeddah sits against the foothills, beyond the Haramain expressway and the ring roads, and it is where the city meets the desert edge. Apartment districts such as Al Safa and Al Naseem give way to villa areas and to new schemes still being graded out of bare ground. Dust here is the main story: fine desert sand on the spring and autumn winds, and grit from plots under construction. Some districts lie on the wadi lines that drain the hills, so a winter storm leaves mud on the streets that dries to powder.

Questions worth asking first

Does old drainage directly affect pool water quality?

It may indirectly. If there is seepage from drainage near the pool, bacteria and heavy metals may enter. Weekly bacterial testing is necessary. If bacterial readings are very high, drainage around the pool may need inspection.

Is dust from unpaved streets different from desert dust?

Yes significantly. Street dust contains metals from soil and old building fragments and bacterial earth. It is heavier and stickier. Filters clog faster. Walls need stronger brushing to clean.

How often should the pool be tested after heavy rain?

Daily for the first week, then three times weekly for two weeks. Mud and dust from valleys arrive in heavy amounts. Water chemistry may shift rapidly. Filters need daily washing initially.

Do nearby valleys mean even light rain causes serious problems?

Light rain still brings heavy mud loads because valleys drain fast. 10 millimetres of rain may mean 2-3 days of thick mud in streets. Pools need preparation for any rain without delay.

Should investment go to a stronger filter or more frequent cleaning?

Both together. Stronger filter helps, but frequent cleaning is the base solution. Washing the filter three times weekly and daily surface cleaning are necessary.

Do apartments and villas in the district need different pool care?

Somewhat. Villas may have larger pools needing stronger filters. Apartments may share compound pools. But the contaminant type is the same: mud, metallic dust, sewage bacteria. All pools need careful protection.

How much does swimming pool cleaning in Al Mahamid cost?

It is set after we see the job, because the price follows the kind of work, the size of the space, its condition and the time and materials it needs. Send a photo and a short description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Mahamid.
