SPS PoolCare, the largest swimming pool services company in the United States, has acquired Pool Troopers, a move the company said solidifies its top position in pool maintenance and repair while combining the two largest providers in the category.
The transaction expands SPS PoolCare’s reach to more than 42,000 weekly recurring residential and commercial customers across 19 markets in five states. The combined company is expected to perform more than 2,000,000 weekly recurring pool services in 2026, with service coverage that includes three of the four largest residential pool markets in the United States.
SPS PoolCare said it will keep Pool Troopers’ field teams intact, with branches maintaining continuity in day-to-day operations, local decision-making authority, and existing customer contracts and commitments. The deal is the 191st acquisition for SPS PoolCare since its inception in 2021 and is described as its largest to date. SPS PoolCare is a portfolio company of Storr Group.
Pool Troopers will continue providing pool maintenance, repair, and renovation services while gaining access to SPS PoolCare’s technology platform and operational infrastructure. Pool Troopers was previously a Shoreline Equity Partners portfolio company, and Shoreline will remain a minority investor in the combined business.
Support: William Blair served as exclusive advisor to SPS PoolCare on the transaction. SPS PoolCare partnered with Balance Point Capital to provide the debt capital for the deal.
