Why the UAE pool calendar looks nothing like anywhere else's

In most countries a pool has an opening day and a closing day. In the UAE it never closes, but it does change character completely four or five times a year. From October to April the water sits between roughly 18 and 26 degrees, chemical demand is modest, and a weekly visit is usually enough. From May onwards the water climbs past 30 degrees, chlorine starts disappearing almost as fast as it goes in, and evaporation can pull several millimetres of water out of the pool every day.

Layered over that heat cycle are the shamal winds, which arrive mainly in early summer and again in winter, carrying fine Gulf dust that acts as a nutrient delivery service for algae. Then there is the social calendar: Ramadan compresses working hours, Eid empties villas for a week, and the December-to-February stretch is when everyone suddenly remembers they own a heater. A good maintenance plan anticipates all of this rather than reacting to it.

June to September: when chlorine cannot keep up

Summer chemistry is a losing race that you manage rather than win. Ultraviolet light destroys free chlorine, and hot water accelerates every reaction, so a dose that held for days in January can be gone within a day in July. The standard defence is cyanuric acid, the stabiliser that shields chlorine from sunlight, but the UAE has a particular trap here: trichlor tablets add stabiliser with every tablet, and by late summer many villa pools are so over-stabilised that the chlorine reading looks fine while the water is barely sanitised. A competent technician tests cyanuric acid monthly in summer and dilutes with fresh water when it creeps too high.

Frequency has to rise with the temperature. A pool that was fine on one visit a week in February generally needs two in August, with the technician brushing walls, emptying baskets, backwashing more often and adjusting dosing at each visit. Pump run times should stretch too: eight to ten hours a day in high summer is typical, against four to six in winter.

Inside the pump room: what a proper visit actually checks

The waterline is where owners judge a pool, but the pump room is where pools are actually won or lost, and it is the part of the visit worth watching once so you know what good looks like. A thorough technician reads the filter pressure gauge before touching anything, because pressure relative to the clean baseline dictates whether a backwash is needed; backwashes when the pressure rises roughly half a bar above baseline; and checks the sight glass runs clear before rinsing and returning to filtration.

Around the pump itself, the checks are for shaft seal weeping (a small drip under the pump that, ignored, becomes a burned-out motor), air in the pump basket lid indicating a suction-side leak, and valve positions after any backwash. Timer settings deserve a glance every visit because power cuts and DEWA or SEWA meter work can silently reset them, leaving a pool circulating four hours a day in July.

Pricing in Seih Sdeirah

The honest answer on cost is a range, not a figure. For pool filter cleaning the typical band is AED 300–900 monthly, and you see each vendor's position in it before committing.

The range narrows to an actual figure once a vendor sees the scope. You approve it before work starts.

Who turns up

The point of vetting up front is that you are not doing the diligence yourself at the doorstep. Licence, insurance and identity are settled before booking opens.

Worth checking

• Ask whether the monthly price includes chemicals, and which ones; this is the most common source of quote confusion.
• Book the annual equipment audit and any sand change for March to May, before summer demand peaks.
• Agree an access arrangement for visits when nobody is home, including photo confirmation of test readings.
• Watch the first visit: the technician should test water before dosing, read the filter gauge, and check the pump basket and timer.
• Keep your own test strips and check the water midweek in July and August as a cross-check.

Common missteps

Pausing the contract for summer travel

Owners leave for July and August and suspend maintenance to save a month's fee, then return to a green pool that costs more to recover than the paused visits would have. Heat, evaporation and shamal dust make summer exactly the wrong season for a pool to be unattended.

Judging the pool only by clarity

Sparkling water can still be over-stabilised, under-sanitised or corrosively unbalanced. Clarity lags chemistry by days. Insist on seeing actual readings for free chlorine, pH and, in summer, cyanuric acid, rather than accepting a visual all-clear.

Ignoring the pump room until something screams

A weeping shaft seal, a blocked ventilation grille or a timer reset by a power cut are all cheap catches and expensive failures. The equipment kills more pools than the water does; make sure the visit includes the pump room every time, not just the waterline.
