How much does pool cleaning cost in Riyadh?

🏗️ Building a new pool: we couldn't find reliable published prices. It depends on size, design and finish, so get detailed quotes from several companies.

Common pool problems and their causes

The water turned green

Algae from too little chlorine or a filter that isn't running enough. It needs a shock treatment and cleaning.

Cloudy water

Usually the filter needs backwashing, or the water balance (pH) is off.

Stinging eyes

Usually unbalanced pH, not necessarily too much chlorine. Test the water with test strips.

Lots of dust and leaves

Riyadh wind and dust. A pool cover and emptying the basket help a lot.

Water level drops fast

Evaporation in summer is normal, but a big drop can mean a leak. Get it checked.

Loud pump

Usually air in the pump or a blocked basket. Clean it; if it continues, call a technician.

Before you agree with any pool company

  1. What does the contract cover?

    Cleaning, chemicals, water testing, pump and filter? Every item in writing.

  2. How many visits?

    In summer a pool needs more visits. Ask how many a week.

  3. Water testing

    Ask them to record the chlorine and pH reading at every visit.

  4. Safe chemicals?

    Ask what they use, especially if you have children.

  5. Breakdowns

    If the pump fails, is the repair included or charged separately?

  6. Reviews

    Look for genuine reviews, and ask customers who've had a contract for a year.

Cover the pool

A cover cuts dust and evaporation and keeps the chlorine in.

It cuts the creams and sweat that cloud the water.

Common questions

How often should a pool be cleaned?

In summer usually twice a week or more; less in winter. It depends on use and dust.

Do I need to empty the pool every year?

Not always. Most pools just need treatment and cleaning; full draining only if the water won't clear or for repairs.

Does Laqeeni take commission?

No. Laqeeni is a directory that connects you with the company directly. You agree and pay between you.
