Premier Pool Service Franchise Cost, Revenue and Closure Rate (2026 FDD)

Premier Pool Service 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 Premier Pool Service'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.

What franchisees report taking in (FDD Item 19)

Item 19 reports 2025 gross revenue and weekly accounts by quartile for 33 franchises open all year, and first-year revenue for 9 franchisees that opened in 2024.

Outlets and closures (FDD Item 20)

Franchised outlets at the start of 2025: 36
Franchised outlets at the end of 2025: 46
Closed during the year (terminated, not renewed, or stopped operating): 3

The closure rate is closures divided by franchised outlets at the start of the year. Outlets sold to a new owner aren't counted as closures. Closure rates for every brand.
