Skip the years of building a customer base. Buy an established route and start earning from day one.
View Available RoutesPurchasing an established pool route is one of the smartest ways to enter the pool service industry or expand your existing business. Here's what makes it such a compelling investment.
Start earning revenue from day one. No waiting months or years to build up a customer base—you'll have paying clients ready to go when you take over.
Pool service provides recurring monthly revenue that's stable and predictable. Most accounts stay year-round, providing consistent income regardless of season.
Unlike starting from scratch, you're buying a business with proven revenue and known customer retention rates. The guesswork is eliminated.
Pool maintenance is an essential service for homeowners. Even during economic downturns, pools still need regular maintenance to protect the investment.

Most routes include 1-2 weeks of hands-on training where the seller introduces you to accounts and shows you the route.
We guide you through customer notifications, billing setup, and the first month of service to ensure smooth retention.
Third-party escrow services protect both buyer and seller, ensuring funds and account transfers happen securely.
Pool routes typically sell for 12 times the monthly service revenue. For example, a route generating $10,000/month in service revenue would sell for $120,000. The multiple depends on factors like account density, customer retention, and market demand.
While traditional bank financing for pool routes can be challenging, there are options available including seller financing, equipment loans, and specialized lenders who work with route-based businesses. We can connect you with financing resources.
Many successful route buyers start with no pool service experience. The seller provides hands-on training, and we can connect you with additional educational resources. The technical skills are learnable—what matters most is customer service and business management.
Most buyers begin servicing accounts within 1-2 weeks of closing. This allows time for training, equipment setup, and customer notifications. The seller typically helps with the first few service visits to ensure smooth handoff.
Main costs include chemicals, equipment maintenance, vehicle expenses, and insurance. Pool routes are known for their strong profit margins compared to most service businesses.
If you're starting as an owner-operator, most buyers begin with 40-80 accounts. This provides good income while still being manageable solo. If you plan to hire help from day one, larger routes of 100+ accounts can work well.
