Swimming pool cleaning in Makkal, Riyadh

Makkal is a small residential quarter in south-central Riyadh within the old Al Dahu cluster of historic districts, south of the old town. Aged mid-rise apartment buildings of dense, compact flats. Pools here are tiny and over forty years old, the shared pipework is extremely old, and hard water causes daily problems.

Why a pool needs regular care

  • Safe water for swimmers

    Water with the chlorine or pH out of range stings eyes, dries skin and hides bacteria you cannot see.

  • Protecting pump and filter

    Leaves and dust left in the water end up inside the filter and pump, straining both until they fail.

  • Less draining and refilling

    A neglected pool often reaches a state that only a full drain and refill can fix.

  • Ready whenever you are

    Whether the pool is at your home or a rest house you rent out, nobody wants to find green water when guests arrive.

Why the job is different in Makkal

The district is very historic and the construction is very old, and residents are usually elderly with repeated complaints about any noise. The whole method is set out in the swimming pool cleaning overview.

  • Very old historic buildings with weak foundations

    Buildings here are decades old with fragile foundations. Any vibration or extra moisture may cause harm. Subsurface pipes are extremely old and may be brittle. Work demands extreme care and very low pressure throughout.

  • Severe hard water and very heavy scale deposits

    Water here is very hard indeed, and very thick white deposits cover everything. The filter clogs easily and the pump may fail from scale. Cleaning means removing thick deposits from the filter and pipes.

  • Small district, elderly residents and repeated disputes

    The district is very small and residents are usually elderly and anxious about change. Building management approval is very difficult and complaints about noise and moisture are frequent.

What's Included

Makkal lies in south-central Riyadh, part of the historic Al Dahu cluster, between Al Bathaa Road, King Faisal Road and King Abdulaziz Road, close to courts and government buildings.

  • Surface debris skimmed

    Street dust and pollution fall on the surface constantly, and daily skimming is essential.

  • Walls and floor brushed

    Walls of buildings very old need very low pressure brushing to avoid breaking the mortar.

  • Floor vacuumed

    The floor must be vacuumed regularly because heavy deposits from hard water settle fast.

  • The waterline and its deposits

    The waterline and very heavy deposits form very quickly and need frequent cleaning.

  • Filter backwashed

    The filter needs very frequent reverse washing indeed because of severe hard water.

  • Chlorine and pH balanced

    Chlorine and pH testing is daily work because hard water and pollution speed water chemistry changes markedly.

What is different about Central Riyadh

Central Riyadh is the oldest and busiest part of the city. Olaya and Sulaimaniyah carry the office towers along King Fahd Road and Tahlia Street, including Kingdom Centre and Al Faisaliah, while Al Malaz, Al Murabba, Al Batha and Al Dirah are older apartment blocks with shops on the ground floor, the Masmak quarter and the markets around Qasr Al Hukm. Heavy traffic on the main roads coats glass and shopfronts in a grey exhaust film, older stairwells and tiled corridors show worn grout and scale from the hard water, and the commercial buildings never stop taking footfall.

Questions before booking

Will equipment vibration during cleaning harm the old building foundations?
Yes, the foundations are old and weak. We use very light equipment and cause no vibration or excess pressure.

How often weekly must Makkal pools be serviced?
At least five times weekly because of very severe hard water, very old shared pipes and heavy pollution.

Will heavy scale deposits permanently damage filter and pump equipment?
Yes, thick deposits can permanently disable the pump and filter. Very frequent reverse washing is needed, almost daily.

Could old subsurface pipes collapse under the pressure?
Yes, the pipes may be very brittle. We inspect them with extreme care and use very low pressure.

Will elderly residents allow a regular cleaning schedule?
Yes, if we find strong building management and good communication. Elderly residents understand the need but fear disruption and moisture.

How does a Makkal pool differ from a pool in a new northern district?
The difference is vast and extreme. Makkal is very old, water is very hard, pipes are old and fragile. New districts have modern equipment and cleaner water.
