What is Pool Trader?

Pool Trader is a  platform made for swimming pool technicians. The main function is to connect them together so they can buy, sell or trade service accounts, private party, in order to get tighter routes. In addition to account transactions you can also buy, sell or trade parts and equipment. Members may also post a Wanted ad if you're looking to grow and want leads or to purchase accounts. And our newest addition...Job Listings!

How do I use Pool Trader?

Create an account with your email and set a password. From there it’s fairly self explanatory on your "MY ACCOUNT" dashboard. To SELL pool accounts, click on "Pool Listings" then click the +Add New Listing, fill out the form on the next page and click "Save Changes". Similar process for "Pools Wanted", click the +Add New Request, fill out the short form and click "Save Chages". And again a similar process for "Parts Listings", click +Add New Listing, fill out the form for the part(s) you want to sell (you can also add photos which we recommend doing) and click "Save Changes". To browse any of these category's simply click on the tab. If you're interested in any listing you will click the "More Info" button and then you can send a "One Click Inquiry", the member will be notified. You MUST be a member to send an inquiry. 

Is There a Fee for Using Pool Trader?

To register for an account, no there is no fee. As a registered member you will have the ability to send inquiries to any listing that's posted, you can also post a "Wanted ad" or you may post in the "Parts Market" for free. To post a pool(s) or route for sale, or to post a Job offer there is a monthly fee of $10, or you can pay for the year at a discount of $99

What do I do when I sell my route or parts?

Like any other platform where you sell something we recommend you delete the listing from your account. Simply log in and go to “My Listings”, click on the posting that was sold, and click the delete icon.

The listing will automatically be deleted at the end of your membership (exp. you have a monthly membership it will be deleted at the end of that cycle. If you're an annual member it will be deleted at the end of that cycle, so we recommend deleting your listing as soon as it's sold)

I've Never Bought or Sold a Route, Can Your Explain How It Works?

Yes! I offer a consultation to anyone that needs help. You can contact me, Joe, via email at - joe.pooltrader@gmail.com - to set an appointment. The consultation is $99 and not limited to a strict hour of time. Ongoing text or phone support is included to a reasonable degree. In addition to route sales I also provide general advice and direction as a 20 year pool service and repair professional. I can help evaluate your current business or route and related types of support/advice.
