SPS PoolCare Expands Market Leadership with Pool Troopers Acquisition

In a monumental move for the swimming pool service industry, SPS PoolCare, the largest company in this sector in the United States, has successfully acquired its prominent competitor, Pool Troopers. This acquisition not only confirms SPS PoolCare’s position at the top but also showcases the company’s rapid growth strategy, having completed its 191st acquisition since its inception in 2021.

The acquisition was officially announced on January 23, 2026, and is expected to significantly bolster both companies’ operational capabilities. With the merger, SPS PoolCare is set to enhance its service coverage to over 42,000 residential and commercial customers across 19 markets in five states. Among these are three of the four largest residential pool markets in the country, reflecting the strategic significance of this acquisition.

Lance Martin, CEO of SPS PoolCare, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the merger, stating, "The combination of SPS PoolCare with Pool Troopers creates an industry powerhouse that will set new standards for pool care across America." His sentiments echo the foundational principles of merging both companies, as Pool Troopers is widely recognized for its quality service and customer satisfaction, qualities that resonate deeply with SPS PoolCare’s mission of prioritizing customer joy in pool ownership.

Despite the acquisition, Pool Troopers will retain its operational identity, maintaining its field teams to ensure that existing customer contracts and commitments are seamlessly managed. This approach ensures continuity in service delivery, a crucial aspect considering the trust that customers place in their service providers.

The merits of this acquisition extend beyond operational efficiencies. By integrating Pool Troopers' established service protocols with SPS PoolCare's cutting-edge technology and operational framework, the newly formed entity aims to enhance service delivery quality significantly.

AD Gonzalez, President and CFO of Pool Troopers, noted, "This merger was a natural fit, given our complementary geographic footprints. Joining forces with the #1 provider in the industry allows us to combine our strengths for superior customer service and employee satisfaction."

The operational synergy anticipated from this acquisition is also expected to bring about new opportunities for career advancement among Pool Troopers' field teams. By merging the resources and expertise of both companies, SPS PoolCare will enhance its existing employee development programs, resulting in a more robust workforce that is better equipped to meet customer needs.

Fraser Ramseyer, CEO of Storr Group, the parent company of SPS PoolCare, affirmed the strategic direction of the merger by stating that it reflects their long-term strategy to invest in a technologically advanced operational infrastructure. This strategy is vital for maintaining service excellence as the new enterprise scales across the country.

Mike Hand, Managing Partner at Shoreline Equity Partners, added that Pool Troopers' identity and commitment to its customers will remain intact, assuring their clientele of consistent quality service. Shoreline Equity Partners continues to participate as a minority investor in the combined company, emphasizing a shared interest in its future success.

The strategic alliance signifies a shift in the dynamics of the pool service sector, as SPS PoolCare gears up to perform over 2,000,000 weekly recurring pool services by the end of 2026, further entrenching its status as the leading provider in the market.

As SPS PoolCare continues to navigate the competitive landscape, this acquisition is poised to set new benchmarks in the industry for customer satisfaction and operational excellence.
