National Pool Partners (NPP) announced that it acquired Ambiance Pool Service & Supplies of Tucson, Arizona. 

Ambiance will serve as NPP’s consumer-facing pool service brand in Tucson while Aquaman Pools will remain its brand in the greater Phoenix area. 

Since its launch in January 2021, NPP has become the fastest-growing pool service aggregator in the country.

Ambiance Pool Service & Supplies has been recognized as an Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies. 

Ambiance has also won the Arizona Daily Star Readers’ Choice award in 2021 and the Best of the Northwest award in 2020.

Founded by Michael Baker in 2009, Ambiance started as a one-man company and grew to service hundreds of pools a week in Tucson. Pleatco’s Perfect Pool Guy winner for 2021, Baker will join NPP as area director, responsible for all Tucson operations while also maintaining his leadership role as branch manager of Ambiance.

“We’re excited to be bringing on the pedigreed company that Michael has built along with his presence as a vivacious, hungry leader who’s truly at the top of the industry,” said Chad Nikkel, founding partner and regional president at NPP. “NPP is proud to be entering a new market with a well-established brand that has a reputation of being consumer-focused and forward-thinking.”

As consolidation within the pool industry continues to intensify, Baker was interested in exiting his ownership so that he could focus on operations while also providing new opportunities for his employees.

“We received offers from other acquisition companies, but chose NPP based on its capital and leadership, but mostly because it’s a pool-company at heart,” said Baker. “They checked all the boxes and there isn’t another brand out there whose core values better align with ours.”
