Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Pool Corporation (the Company , which may also be referred to as we, us or our ) prepared the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements following U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, we have condensed or omitted certain footnotes and other financial information required for complete financial statements. The interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. All significant intercompany accounts and intercompany transactions have been eliminated. A description of our significant accounting policies is included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should read the interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results for our three-month period ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Income Taxes We reduce federal and state income taxes payable by the tax benefits associated with the exercise of nonqualified stock options and the lapse of restrictions on restricted stock awards. To the extent realized tax deductions exceed the amount of previously recognized deferred tax benefits related to share-based compensation, we record an excess tax benefit. We record all excess tax benefits as a component of income tax benefit or expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income in the period in which stock options are exercised or restrictions on restricted stock awards lapse. We recorded excess tax benefits of $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2023. Retained Earnings We account for the retirement of repurchased shares as a reduction of Retained earnings. As of March 31, 2024, the Retained earnings on our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflects cumulative net income, the cumulative impact of adjustments for changes in accounting pronouncements, share retirements since the inception of our share repurchase programs of $2.5 billion and cumulative dividends of $1.2 billion . Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The table below presents the components of our Accumulated other comprehensive income balance (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2024 2023 2023 Foreign currency translation adjustments $ (16,367) $ (17,139) $ (12,699) Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps, net of tax 21,507 21,694 19,281 Accumulated other comprehensive income $ 5,140 $ 4,555 $ 6,582 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption The following table summarizes recent accounting pronouncements that we plan to adopt in future periods: Standard Description Effective Date Effect on Financial Statements and Other Significant Matters Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes- Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which will require enhancements and further transparency to various income tax disclosures, most notably the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Retrospective application for all periods presented is permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on our disclosures. ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which intends to improve reportable segment disclosures by requiring enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, enhance interim disclosure requirements, refine situations in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss and provide advanced segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, as well as other disclosure requirements. Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on our disclosures. ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative , which will impact various disclosure areas, including the statement of cash flows, accounting changes and error corrections, earnings per share, debt, equity, derivatives and transfers of financial assets. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will be effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on our disclosures.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2024
Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share We calculate basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method. Earnings per share under the two-class method is calculated using net income attributable to common stockholders, which is net income reduced by the earnings allocated to participating securities. Our participating securities include share-based payment awards that contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends and are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Participating securities excluded from weighted average common shares outstanding were 205,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 213,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The table below presents the computation of earnings per share, including the reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Net income $ 78,885 $ 101,699 Amounts allocated to participating securities (413) (548) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 78,472 $ 101,151 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 38,205 38,877 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options and employee stock purchase plan 262 312 Diluted 38,467 39,189 Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders: Basic $ 2.05 $ 2.60 Diluted $ 2.04 $ 2.58 Anti-dilutive stock options excluded from diluted earnings per share computations (1) 57 64 (1) Since these options have exercise prices that are higher than the average market prices of our common stock, including them in the calculation would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Fair Value Measurements and Int

Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Swaps	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2024
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Swaps	Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Swaps Recurring Fair Value Measurements Our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the unrealized gains or losses on our interest rate swap contracts and our deferred compensation plan asset and liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the accounting guidance are described below: Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include: • quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; • quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; • inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or • inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The table below presents our assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): Fair Value at March 31, Input Level Classification 2024 2023 Assets Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps Level 2 Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 4,984 $ — Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps Level 2 Other assets 23,738 28,970 Deferred compensation plan asset Level 1 Other assets 17,025 14,014 Liabilities Deferred compensation plan liability Level 1 Other long-term liabilities $ 17,025 $ 14,014 Interest Rate Swaps We utilize interest rate swap contracts and forward-starting interest rate swap contracts to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates for future interest payments on a portion of our variable rate borrowings. We use significant other observable market data or assumptions (Level 2 inputs) in determining the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts and forward-starting interest rate swap contract that we believe market participants would use in pricing similar assets or liabilities, including assumptions about counterparty risk. Our fair value estimates reflect an income approach based on the terms of the interest rate swap contracts and inputs corroborated by observable market data including interest rate curves. We recognize any differences between the variable interest rate in effect and the fixed interest rates per our swap contracts as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the swaps. To the extent our derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, we record the changes in the estimated fair value of our interest rate swap contracts to Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We currently have two swap contracts in place. These swap contracts were previously forward-starting and convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate on a portion of our variable rate borrowings. Interest expense related to the notional amounts under these swap contracts is based on the fixed rates plus the applicable margin on a portion of our variable rate borrowings. Changes in the estimated fair value of these interest rate swap contracts are recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table provides additional details related to these swap contracts: Derivative Inception Date Effective Date Termination Date Notional Amount Fixed Interest Rate Interest rate swap 1 February 5, 2020 February 26, 2021 February 28, 2025 $150.0 1.3260% Interest rate swap 2 March 9, 2020 September 29, 2022 February 26, 2027 $150.0 0.6690% For the interest rate swap contracts in effect at March 31, 2024, a portion of the change in the estimated fair value between periods relates to future interest expense. Recognition of the change in fair value between periods attributable to accrued interest is reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to Interest and other non-operating expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. These amounts were not material in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023. We also have in place a forward-starting interest rate swap contract to extend the hedged period for future interest payments on a portion of our variable rate borrowings. The following table provides details related to our forward-starting interest rate swap contract: Derivative Inception Date Effective Date Termination Date Notional Fixed Forward-starting interest rate swap March 9, 2020 February 28, 2025 February 26, 2027 $150.0 0.7630% Failure of our swap counterparties would result in the loss of any potential benefit to us under our swap agreements. In this case, we would still be obligated to pay the variable interest payments underlying our debt agreements. Additionally, failure of our swap counterparties would not eliminate our obligation to continue to make payments under our existing swap agreements if we were in a net pay position. Our interest rate swap contracts and forward-starting interest rate swap contract are subject to master netting arrangements. According to our accounting policy, we do not offset the fair values of assets with the fair values of liabilities related to these contracts. Other Our deferred compensation plan asset represents investments in securities (primarily mutual funds) traded in an active market (Level 1 inputs) held for the benefit of certain employees as part of our deferred compensation plan. We record an equal and offsetting deferred compensation plan liability, which represents our obligation to participating employees. Changes in the fair value of the plan asset and liability are reflected in Selling and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates its fair value. Our determination of the estimated fair value reflects a discounted cash flow model using our estimates, including assumptions related to borrowing rates (Level 3 inputs).

The Securitization Subsidiary transfers variable undivided percentage interests in the receivables and related rights to certain third-party financial institutions in exchange for cash proceeds, limited to the applicable funding capacities. We account for the sale of the receivable interests as a secured borrowing on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The receivables subject to the agreement collateralize the cash proceeds received from the third-party financial institutions. We classify the entire outstanding balance as Long-term debt, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as we intend and have the ability to refinance the obligations on a long-term basis. We present the receivables that collateralize the cash proceeds separately as Receivables pledged under receivables facility on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Pool Corporation (the Company , which may also be referred to as we, us or our ) prepared the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements following U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, we have condensed or omitted certain footnotes and other financial information required for complete financial statements. The interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. All significant intercompany accounts and intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Income Taxes	We reduce federal and state income taxes payable by the tax benefits associated with the exercise of nonqualified stock options and the lapse of restrictions on restricted stock awards. To the extent realized tax deductions exceed the amount of previously recognized deferred tax benefits related to share-based compensation, we record an excess tax benefit. We record all excess tax benefits as a component of income tax benefit or expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income in the period in which stock options are exercised or restrictions on restricted stock awards lapse.
Retained Earnings	We account for the retirement of repurchased shares as a reduction of Retained earnings.
