Poolwerx Franchise Cost, Revenue and Closure Rate (2026 FDD)

Poolwerx is one of the franchises we compare in our pool cleaning and service guide. Here is what it costs to open, what it charges every month, what its franchisees report taking in, and how many outlets closed in a year.

Where these numbers come from

The figures come from Poolwerx's 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), the document every franchisor must give buyers before they sign. Revenue figures are sales as the brand reports them, before royalties and costs. They are not profit, and not a promise of what you would earn.

Independent pool cleaning and service startup cost: $1,200 – $1,262*

The independent figure is our startup budget from the guide, lean plan low to professional plan high, with no franchise fee and no royalties afterwards. * Some startup lines aren't sourced yet and are left out, so the real figure is higher.
