Swimming pool cleaning in Al Rayyan, Jeddah

Why a clean pool needs more than skimming

Al Rayyan spreads across a wide street grid east of the Haramain expressway between the air base bridge and Al Kawthar, with Al Thuraya and Al Sultan schemes predominantly built as apartments. Streets are broad but ground works including sewerage are ongoing, and active construction plots are scattered throughout the area.

Algae spreads faster than it looks

Water chemistry testing here must include a suspended solids panel and metal analysis bi-weekly. Construction dust is not just inert particles; it carries silicates, metals, and organic matter from the building site that complicate standard chlorine chemistry.
Filter performance drops quietly

Filter cartridges are consumed rapidly: expect replacement every two to three weeks during active construction instead of the standard four to six weeks. Budget accordingly and maintain spare cartridges in stock at all times. Deep backwashing after rain is routine and non-optional.
Chemistry imbalance damages pool surfaces

Chemistry imbalance from metal ions and high silicate levels requires sequential treatment protocols. Simple shock chlorination does not address metals; flocculant and chelation agents must precede or follow chlorine addition to bind particles and metals so they can settle and be removed.
Floor sediment clouds the water

Sediment on the floor is heavy clay and metal-laden silt, not light sand. Vacuuming must be thorough and twice weekly during rain seasons. Acid washing monthly prevents permanent staining from iron oxide deposits and helps dissolve fine clay particles that compact.

What changes about swimming pool cleaning in Al Rayyan

New automated filter systems require weekly calibration adjustments during the first year because submicron construction dust changes pressure and flow characteristics faster than standard settings anticipate. For the whole method, see our swimming pool cleaning service.

The first reason
Submicron construction dust clogs filters completely in days

Dust from crushing concrete, asphalt and aggregate on active building plots is finer than desert sand and enters the pool relentlessly on spring and summer winds. This ultra-fine powder passes through standard pre-filters and lodges deep inside cartridge media where normal backwash pressure cannot dislodge it.
The second reason
Unfinished streets channel rainwater and silt directly into pools

Sewerage works remain incomplete on many streets, so heavy rains flood the compacted earth surfaces and drain toward the lowest point, which is often the nearest pool area or shared courtyard. Red clay and silt pour in with each storm and settle as heavy sediment on the floor within hours.
The third reason
Heavy construction equipment releases metal particles constantly

Concrete saws, compaction rollers, diesel loaders and water tanker trucks on active sites strip fine metal filings from machinery and tires into the air and soil. After rain, these metal particles wash downhill toward pools in runoff. The water develops a metallic taste and grey-blue tint from suspended iron oxides.

Landmarks of Al Rayyan

Al Rayyan pools are accessible via the Air Base Bridge and situated within the Al Thuraya and Al Sultan schemes, which serve as key local reference points. Proximity to ongoing construction means routing and site access change seasonally; communication with pool owners about temporary access issues during heavy building work is essential.

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

Do new automated filters need special calibration here?

Yes, essential. The factory settings assume a relatively stable dust load and water clarity baseline. In Al Rayyan, submicron construction dust changes both the pressure and flow rate across the cartridge daily. Weekly calibration is necessary for the first year; thereafter, monthly checks identify whether baseline recalibration is still needed or if the setting has stabilised.

Does pale cloudy water after building noise mean filter failure?

Usually not failure, but temporary overload from construction activity. Heavy machinery vibrates and shakes dust into the air; nearby demolition or compaction intensifies it. The filter is simply overwhelmed by the volume of fine particles entering simultaneously. One backwash often clears it, but if cloudiness persists after two backwashes, a flocculant chemical dose helps settle the finest fraction so it can be vacuumed.

How often should metal testing be done here?

Bi-weekly during active construction periods, especially after heavy rain. Iron, copper and zinc accumulate faster in areas with ongoing site activity. Once construction on adjacent plots concludes, the testing interval can extend to monthly. Do not assume metal levels are safe without testing; grey or metallic-tasting water always indicates a problem that requires lab confirmation and treatment.

Will incomplete sewerage work affect the pool during the next rainstorm?

Probably yes. Unfinished sewerage channels mean stormwater drains toward adjacent terrain, which includes pool areas. Flooding is common in low-lying sections during heavy rain. A raised pool edge or drainage berms around the pool can redirect some runoff, but the only permanent solution is completion of street-level sewerage by the municipality, which may take years.

Should the pool be covered during the construction seasons?

Partial covering helps reduce dust by thirty to forty percent, but adds labour. The cover itself collects construction dust and can transfer contamination when opened. Frequent covering and uncovering is labour-intensive; more effective is aggressive daily skimming and weekly filter service. Covering is best reserved for temporary breaks in construction or seasonal respite.

Do cartridge filters work better than sand filters in active construction?

Cartridge filters are more convenient for frequent changes but consume more cartridges due to rapid clogging. Sand filters have greater capacity and require less frequent backwashing, but need more space and higher water pressure. Neither is perfect here; the choice depends on available space and budget for cartridge replacement. Plan to double the standard cartridge inventory regardless of filter type.

How much does swimming pool cleaning in Al Rayyan 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 Rayyan.
