Pool Industry Acquisitions: A Registry of U.S. Deals From Primary Disclosures, 2015 to 2026

Pool industry acquisitions registry, 2015 to 2026 (newest first)

The registry lists 91 dated entries from January 2015 to October 6, 2026, newest first: 73 acquisitions of U.S. pool companies, 2 platform investments, 1 minority stake and 15 deals outside the U.S. or in adjacent trades. Each entry gives the buyer, target, segment, location, deal value only if disclosed, evidence level and a link to the source.

Pool industry acquisitions by year and segment

U.S. pool industry acquisitions in primary disclosures stayed at 4 or fewer targets a year from 2015 to 2020, jumped to 21 in 2021 and reached 16 in 2025. The mix moved from distributors and manufacturers toward service companies, which supplied 18 of the 25 targets announced in 2025 and 2026.

In 2021, 21 U.S. pool targets changed hands in the registry: 7 manufacturers (four bought by Fluidra, Pleatco by Pentair, Radiant Pools by Latham and Water Works by Hayward), 8 service companies bought by National Pool Partners, 3 distributors bought by POOLCORP and 3 retailers bought by Leslie’s.

In 2025 and 2026 through October 6, service companies made up 18 of 25 U.S. pool targets, bought by Azureon, Cabana, SPS PoolCare and Pool Service Partners (O2, Cabana, SPS PoolCare, Pool Service Partners).

Who is buying pool companies: most active acquirers

By named or counted targets, Leslie’s (18), POOLCORP (16) and Heritage Pool Supply Group (9) lead the registry. By self-reported deal count, SPS PoolCare is far ahead with more than 220 acquisitions since 2021, but it names only a handful, which shows how much pool service consolidation happens without public detail.

SPS PoolCare, a Storr Group portfolio company, reported its 150th acquisition on August 6, 2025, its 191st with Pool Troopers on January 23, 2026, and more than 220 by July 7, 2026, serving more than 50,000 weekly recurring customers in Texas, Florida, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia (SPS PoolCare, SPS PoolCare, SPS PoolCare).

Heritage Pool Supply Group reported 23 acquisitions from its 2021 inception through 2024, while its own press release page names 6 deals in that window, so the registry captures about 26.1% of them (Heritage).

Private equity versus public companies in pool industry acquisitions

Public companies (POOLCORP, Leslie’s, Latham, Hayward, Pentair, Fluidra and The Home Depot) account for 55.1% of U.S. pool targets from 2015 to 2026. Private equity and investor-backed platforms account for 34.8% of all targets but 76.0% of 2025 and 2026 targets, and none of POOLCORP, Leslie’s, Latham, Hayward, Pentair or Fluidra disclosed a U.S. pool acquisition in 2026 in filings or releases available on October 6, 2026.

• Storr Group backs SPS PoolCare, which says it has made more than 220 acquisitions since 2021 (SPS PoolCare).
• O2 Investment Partners formed a pool services platform from five New York and New Jersey companies in mid-2024 and branded it Azureon in October 2024; Azureon reached 13 acquisitions by August 2026 (O2, O2).
• Imperial Capital launched National Pool Partners in late 2020 from its Fund VII; National Pool Partners dates its launch to January 2021 (Imperial Capital, National Pool Partners).
• Pool Service Partners, a Tamarix Equity Partners portfolio company founded in February 2022, operates in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware and expected to service more than 8,000 pools in 2025 (Pool Service Partners).
• Cabana, a portfolio company of Asymmetric Capital Partners since 2023, named six California acquisitions in 2025 and 2026 (Asymmetric Capital Partners, Cabana).
• Authority Brands, owned by funds advised by Apax Partners, bought pool service franchisor America’s Swimming Pool Company on October 22, 2018 (Authority Brands).
• Sponsor buyouts: CCMP, MSD Partners and AIMCo acquired Hayward in 2017, and Pamplona Capital Management funds acquired Latham on December 18, 2018; both companies later listed on U.S. exchanges (Hayward 10-K, Latham 10-K).

Public pool companies were active buyers in 2021 and slowed afterward. Leslie’s reported no acquisitions in fiscal 2024 or 2025, Hayward reported no business acquisitions in 2025, and POOLCORP’s 2025 acquisitions were two asset purchases, one of them a stone and hardscape supplier (Leslie’s 10-K, Hayward 10-K, POOLCORP 10-K).

Pool industry acquisition prices: what buyers disclosed

Only 13 of 89 U.S. pool targets carry an individually disclosed price, almost all of them manufacturers or large distributors bought by public companies. No pool service acquisition in the registry disclosed a price.

Excluding The Home Depot’s $18.25 billion SRS deal, which spans roofing, landscape and pool distribution, the 12 individually disclosed U.S. pool deal values from 2020 to 2024 sum to $2083.7 million, with a median of $85.2 million (POOLCORP 10-K, Pentair 10-K, Fluidra).

Leslie’s discloses only fiscal-year totals: $8.9 million for 3 businesses with 8 locations in fiscal 2021, $107.7 million for 6 businesses with 27 locations in fiscal 2022, and $15.5 million for 5 businesses with 12 locations in fiscal 2023 (Leslie’s 10-K, Leslie’s 10-K).

Where acquired pool companies are located

Registry entries name 32 states plus DC as target locations, but four Sun Belt states (Florida, Texas, Arizona, California) hold 37.6% of 85 state mentions. New York and New Jersey rank high because of Northeast service platforms.

Florida is named in 10 registry entries, including POOLCORP’s Porpoise Pool & Patio (Largo), Heritage’s MT Pool Distributors (Miami) and Aquafinity (Jupiter), and five National Pool Partners service companies (POOLCORP 10-K, Heritage, National Pool Partners).

POOLCORP reported that California, Florida, Texas and Arizona together accounted for approximately 53% of its 2025 net sales, which matches where acquisition activity clusters (POOLCORP 10-K). For the installed base of pools by state, see the number of swimming pools in the U.S. report.

Pool industry acquisitions by POOLCORP, Leslie's, Latham, Hayward, Pentair and Fluidra

Public pool companies disclose acquisitions in annual reports, which makes their records the most complete in the registry. POOLCORP’s list includes non-U.S. and non-pool purchases that are excluded from the U.S. pool counts.

• POOLCORP: 29 acquisitions from 2015 to 2025, of which 16 were U.S. pool distributors, 6 were outside the U.S. (Australia, Croatia, Spain, Canada, Portugal) and 7 were irrigation, landscape, masonry or stone suppliers. POOLCORP operated 456 sales centers on December 31, 2025, and its Q2 2026 10-Q describes no 2026 acquisitions (POOLCORP 10-K).
• Leslie’s: 18 U.S. targets from January 2018 to fiscal 2023, including Valley Pool & Spa in Pittsburgh (January 26, 2018) and 14 unnamed businesses in fiscal 2021 to 2023; no acquisitions in fiscal 2024 or 2025; over 1,000 locations in 39 states on October 4, 2025 (Leslie’s 10-K, Leslie’s 10-K).
• Latham Group: GLI (October 2020, $79.7 million), a 28% stake in builder Premier Pools & Spas (October 2020), Radiant Pools (November 2021, $90.7 million), fiberglass assets in Seminole, Oklahoma (November 2022), Coverstar Central (August 2024, $64.5 million cash), two autocover dealers in New York and Tennessee (February 2025, $5.6 million) and Freedom Pools in Australia and New Zealand (February 2026) (Latham 10-K, Latham 10-K).
• Hayward: Water Works Technologies (December 31, 2021), Halco’s specialty lighting business (June 2, 2022, $61.3 million net) and ChlorKing (June 26, 2024, $55.2 million net of cash); no business acquisitions in 2025 (Hayward 10-K, Hayward 10-K).
• Pentair: Pleatco (October 18, 2021, $254.6 million) and G & F Manufacturing, a pool heat pump maker (December 2, 2024, $116.0 million) (Pentair 10-K, Pentair 10-K).

Patterns across the registry

• PC&S counted 89 U.S. pool industry acquisition targets in 73 registry entries announced from January 2015 to October 6, 2026, using only SEC filings, Fluidra’s CNMV filings and buyers’ own releases (SEC EDGAR).
• U.S. pool industry acquisitions peaked at 21 targets in 2021, against 4 or fewer in each year from 2015 to 2020 (POOLCORP 10-K, Fluidra, National Pool Partners).
• Private equity and investor-backed buyers took 76.0% of the 25 U.S. pool targets announced in 2025 and 2026 YTD, up from 26.7% of targets in 2015 to 2020 (O2 Investment Partners, Cabana).
• Distribution and service each account for 27 of the 89 U.S. targets from 2015 to 2026, retail for 17 and manufacturing for 14 (Heritage Pool Supply Group, Leslie’s 10-K).
• SPS PoolCare reported more than 220 acquisitions since 2021 as of July 7, 2026, but named only 3 targets, so the registry covers about 1.4% of its stated deal count (SPS PoolCare).
• Only 13 of 89 U.S. pool targets (2015 to 2026) carried an individually disclosed price; the median of the 12 disclosed values, excluding the multi-trade SRS deal, was $85.2 million (Pentair 10-K, Hayward 10-K).
