Why do people choose to start a franchise business? For many, it’s about more than just making money—it’s about finding a career that aligns with their passions and values. If you love the outdoors and want to make a positive impact, a franchise business in the pool service industry might be the perfect fit. Pool Scouts, a leader in the pool cleaning industry, offers a unique opportunity to combine your love for the outdoors with the satisfaction of making a difference in your community.
Imagine spending your days working outside, soaking up sunshine and enjoying backyards in your community. As a Pool Scouts franchisee, that’s exactly what you can expect. Turn your passion for the outdoors into a thriving business. In the pool service business, you are inherently connected to the outdoors, so you can enjoy fresh air and sunshine while helping others keep their pools clean.
While eventually Pool Scouts owners should be established to a point where they focus on running their business vs. out in the field servicing pools, there will always be a large element of training and guiding your team of pool technicians that will provide outside time and avoid the monotonous grind of a 9-5 desk job.
For those who live in seasonal markets where pools are often closed in the winter, you’ll have even more flexibility. Some owners choose to use their off-season time running a complementary seasonal business, such as holiday lighting. Others use the off-season to prioritize downtime, working on refining processes or preparing for the next season. When you’re a business owner, there’s never a full off-season, so getting ahead is always a good idea!
It’s not just about enjoying the outdoors; it’s about having the opportunity to make a difference to your neighbors. Clean, well-maintained pools contribute to the safety and enjoyment of families and communities. Your role will enhance the quality of life for your customers by providing them with a space where they can relax and create lasting memories. Pool Scouts franchisees are trusted members of their communities, known for their dedication to customer service and a commitment to excellence. Beyond pool care, Pool Scouts allows franchisees to give back and further strengthen their community ties.
One national effort that Pool Scouts proudly supports is Water Safety Month in May. This initiative contributes a portion of every pool cleaning service in May to Hope Floats Foundation. Hope Floats provides swim scholarships to underprivileged children who otherwise wouldn’t be able to receive swim lessons. According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children ages 5 and under. While providing clean pools is one of our fundamental focuses, being able to give back in this way to help children become safe swimmers is a huge part of our mission. This year, Pool Scouts is proud to have raised over $20,000 to provide swim lessons to children across the country!
When researching franchise businesses for sale, make sure to look at causes that the brand supports or initiatives they’re involved in so that you can align your passions with those of the franchise brand.
Running a successful franchise business requires more than just a love for the outdoors. When you choose to buy a franchise business, you want to be confident that you’re investing in a proven, reliable system. Pool Scouts offers just that, including a strong support network from the corporate team, offering support for operational needs, to marketing and design, offering your own in-house marketing agency.
Pool Scouts also offers comprehensive training. Once a new franchise owner enters the system, they undergo a week of virtual training to learn all the systems and processes. This is followed by a week of in-person training to gain real hands-on experience. This equips them not only to train their pool cleaning staff but also to troubleshoot issues and scenarios that may arise during a service. Even once training is done, your team of support will host monthly calls, an annual in-person convention to network and trade ideas with fellow owners and corporate team members, and an ongoing line of communication with the corporate team. Not to mention, the Pool Scouts intranet, where owners can share and post questions or stories to get ideas, feedback and solutions from other owners.
Another perk of joining an established franchise is buying into a business model that has been refined and perfected. Pool Scouts has done the work not only refining and streamlining processes for its own in-house local operation, but through the years of experience with franchise owners in different regions has figured out what truly works, setting up franchisees for success.

The recurring revenue potential is another significant advantage, providing a sustainable business model that grows over time. As a Pool Scouts franchisee, you’ll benefit from a brand with a reputation for quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction.
And the Pool Scouts community is unlike any other. You’ll be part of a network of dedicated entrepreneurs who share a passion for the industry and a commitment to excellence. We offer ongoing training, networking events, an annual convention, and a supportive environment to help you succeed. Additionally, Pool Scouts is committed to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices, ensuring that your business not only thrives but also contributes positively to the world around you.
“Within the first couple of weeks of introduction, I was convinced of the solid franchise structure. After meeting the team shortly after, bottom line I just feel at home. From virtual training and phone calls to coming to the corporate office twice to meet the team and train, it’s been wonderful.” – Charlie Hook, Pool Scouts of Hartford
