How much does a Poolwerx franchise make?
Poolwerx is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Poolwerx franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Poolwerx's 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Poolwerx franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Poolwerx franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Poolwerx lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Poolwerx. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
Poolwerx closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Poolwerx will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Poolwerx's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Poolwerx's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 1.1%, against a home services median of 5.1% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +18 to 107 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Poolwerx?
Poolwerx's franchise is offered by Poolwerx Franchise Management LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Poolwerx franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Poolwerx — who is the franchisor?
Poolwerx's most recently filed FDD (2026) names Poolwerx Franchise Management LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Poolwerx franchise cost?
Poolwerx's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $105,400 – $140,525, with an initial franchise fee of $49,500 and a 7% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against home services peers it sits in the upper quartile (median $162,725).
How much profit does a Poolwerx franchise make?
Poolwerx discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (7% of gross for Poolwerx), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Poolwerx franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
Does Poolwerx disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
Yes — Poolwerx reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.
Are there lawsuits against Poolwerx?
We do not publish a litigation answer for Poolwerx: Item 3 could not be read reliably from this filing, and we would rather say so than assert a clean record we have not verified. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check.
Is Poolwerx a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Poolwerx's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against home services peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
