Why Owner-Operated Wins
Franchise pool services like Premier Pool Service operate on a model where a franchise owner pays for the brand name and follows corporate procedures. While this provides consistency in branding, it also means franchise fees, corporate overhead, and standardized approaches that may not fit your pool’s specific needs.
At Jerico’s Pools, there are no franchise fees inflating your bill. The money you pay goes directly to pool care — better chemicals, more time at your pool, and personal attention from a CPO-certified technician who isn’t following a corporate checklist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Premier Pool Service a franchise?
Yes, Premier Pool Service operates as a national franchise. Franchise owners pay ongoing royalty fees to the corporate parent, which adds to operating costs. Jerico's Pools is independently owned with no franchise overhead.
Do franchise pool services provide consistent quality?
Franchise models provide brand consistency but service quality depends entirely on the local franchise owner and their employees. With an owner-operated service like Jerico's Pools, the owner is personally accountable for every visit.
How does pricing compare to Premier Pool Service?
Our pricing is competitive because we don't have franchise fees, corporate royalties, or multi-layer management overhead. Our Standard plan at $200/month includes all chemicals — compare that to the total cost including chemical add-ons from franchise services.
The Real Differences Between Jerico's Pools and Premier Pool Service
Premier Pool Service operates as a franchise network. Their model standardizes service across locations but means you get a franchise employee rather than a business owner at your pool.
Franchise companies charge franchise fees, royalties, and marketing assessments that are ultimately built into your price. They also standardize service procedures, which means less flexibility to adapt to your specific pool's needs.
At Jerico's Pools, the model is fundamentally different: I am the owner and I am the technician. There is no middle management, no franchise fee, no corporate overhead. Every dollar you pay goes directly toward the chemicals in your pool, the expertise of a CPO-certified professional, and the time and attention your pool deserves.
