March to May: the pre-summer service window
It is also the season for sand filter media changes. Filter sand in the UAE degrades faster than manufacturers' generic three-to-five-year guidance suggests, because the dust load and near-constant filtration grind the grains smooth and channel the bed. If the sand has not been changed in three years, or backwashing no longer brings the pressure back down, book the change now rather than discovering the problem during an August algae fight. Many owners switch to glass media at this point, which resists channelling and typically lasts longer.
Salt-system owners should have the chlorinator cell pulled and descaled before summer, because cell output drops exactly when demand is about to double. If you are comparing providers for an annual contract, this is the sensible moment to do it; the tamam app lets you put the same scope in front of several verified pool companies and compare their AED ranges before the summer rush starts.
Shamal dust and the 48-hour algae window
The response window is short. Within a day of a major dust event the pool should be skimmed, the walls and floor brushed to lift settled dust before it binds to surfaces, the skimmer and pump baskets emptied, and the filter run extended. A preventive shock dose after a bad storm is cheap insurance; a green-to-clean recovery a week later is a multi-visit job involving heavy chlorination, flocculant, vacuuming to waste and sometimes a filter media change.
Owners who travel in summer are the classic victims here, because a storm hits, nobody brushes the pool, and the villa is reoccupied three weeks later to opaque green water. If you will be away during peak shamal months, keep the maintenance contract running rather than pausing it; rebooking the same vendor for an extra post-storm visit takes a moment in the tamam app, and the technician who already knows your pump room will move faster than a stranger.

Villa pools versus community pools: who is responsible for what
If you own a villa with a private pool, everything in this guide is your responsibility, discharged either personally or through a maintenance contract. There is no inspector coming; the consequences of neglect are simply borne by your family and your resale value. Most villa owners settle on a contract in the AED 300–900 monthly band depending on pool size and visit frequency, and treat one-off jobs — media changes, green recoveries, heater services — as extras.
The place these worlds meet is the townhouse compound with both a small private plunge pool and a shared community pool. Owners there sometimes assume the community contractor covers their private pool; it almost never does. Read the community rules, and if your plot pool needs its own contract, arrange one — several tamam vendors service clusters of neighbours in the same compound on the same morning, which is worth mentioning when comparing quotes.

Avoid these
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.
Topping up stabilised chlorine tablets indefinitely
Every trichlor tablet adds cyanuric acid that never evaporates. By late summer the pool can be chemically locked, with fine-looking chlorine readings and dull, unsafe water. Dilution with fresh water is the only exit, which is far easier planned in November than forced in August.
Buying a heater or chiller on price alone
An undersized heat pump runs continuously, inflates the electricity bill and still misses the target temperature. Size the unit to your pool volume and desired season, and have the coil cleaned before each winter, because a summer of dust halves its efficiency.
Get this right first
- Measure or find your pool's approximate volume from handover documents; every accurate quote starts there.
- Photograph the pump room and equipment labels so vendors can quote on the actual pump, filter and any salt cell or heater.
- 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.
- Ask for cyanuric acid to be tested monthly in summer if you use chlorine tablets.
Frequently asked questions
01Is a salt system better than chlorine tablets in the UAE?
Salt gives steadier day-to-day water quality and softer-feeling water, but hot summers and hard fill water shorten cell life and demand pre-season descaling. Tablets are cheaper to run but progressively over-stabilise the pool with cyanuric acid. Both work here; both still need a technician.
02Why does my chlorine reading look fine but the water still goes cloudy in August?
Usually over-stabilisation: months of trichlor tablets push cyanuric acid so high that the chlorine you measure is largely locked and ineffective. The remedy is testing cyanuric acid, then diluting with a partial drain and refill. Heat and heavy bather load compound it.
03How often should filter sand be changed here?
Every two to three years is realistic in the UAE, shorter than the generic three-to-five-year advice, because dust load and near-continuous running degrade the bed faster. If backwashing no longer restores normal pressure, the media is due. Glass media typically lasts longer and resists channelling.
04Can I keep my maintenance schedule during Ramadan?
Yes, but expect the time of day to shift. Crews work shorter hours and route visits earlier, so a late-afternoon slot will likely move to morning. Confirm your preferred window before the month starts, and book pre-Eid deep cleans several days ahead because demand spikes.
05What decides where a monthly contract lands within AED 300–900?
Pool volume, visit frequency, whether chemicals are included, equipment complexity such as salt systems or heaters, and location relative to the crew's route. Comparing itemised quotes from a few verified vendors side by side is the quickest way to see which factor is driving your price.
