Don’t sell.
Partner.
Selling your pool company used to mean either selling individual routes one by one, or handing over everything you built to someone else. Now there’s a third option. Keep what you’ve built, preserve your crew, retain your customers, and gain the systems, capital and back office of a much larger operation.

California Pool Partners was founded by Evan Ferl, Eric Johnston and Mark Doody — three people who left careers in technology, bought a pool route in Los Angeles, and learned every part of the trade from the water up.
We’ve since completed 15 partnerships across California. We know what a route is worth, what a bad week looks like, and why you don’t hand your customers to someone who has never carried a pole.
- Local owners know their markets best
- Customers value trust over scale
- Growth comes from partnership, not control
Thinking about selling?
Most offers ask you to hand over the keys and walk away. We start from the opposite question: what would it take for this to still be your business — with your name on the trucks — and a lot less weight on your shoulders?
- Your brand, your crew, your customers stay yours
- Cash out without cashing in your life’s work
- Stay on as much or as little as you want
- We work together to find complimentary routes in your geography
- Professional routing and billing systems
- Recruiting, compliance and marketing support
