Phoenix, AZ– August 10, 2021: Splish Splash Pool Service (‘Splish Splash’), a Phoenix-local, family-owned, and woman-led pool service company has decided to partner with Pool Troopers, one of the nation’s fastest-growing pools service companies. Splish Splash has been family-owned and operated since 1984 and is a top-rated pool service company in Phoenix, Arizona.

“I have known Janeen and her family for over 30 years, and when we started our journey to expand, they were on my shortlist of ideal partners. Splish Splash has an outstanding reputation in Phoenix and throughout the industry. I am humbled that Janeen would trust us with her family’s business,” said Gary Crayton, Pool Troopers’ Chief Executive Officer. “We are honored to continue their legacy and are excited to welcome the Splish Splash team and customers to the Pool Troopers’ family.”1

Janeen Bury, Owner of Splish Splash, said, “Splish Splash is my family’s business, and because of that it was important to me to entrust it to someone who has years of experience in the industry. I have known Gary for years and believe in Pool Troopers’ mission. Although Pool Troopers is a large company, they operate with small company values. Their culture aligns with our culture, and I know that with the partnership, I will be able to better serve my customers and team. I am thrilled to join Pool Troopers and continue serving the Phoenix area.”2
