The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded Hayward Holdings, Inc., a global designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad portfolio of pool equipment and associated automation systems, the 2021 ENERGY STAR Award for Excellence in Product Design. This award recognizes superior leadership in product innovation and commitment to environmental protection through energy efficiency and ENERGY STAR initiatives.
“We’re thrilled to have been recognized for our advanced product development in energy efficient products,” says Scott Petty, senior global product manager for pumps at Hayward. “With the July DOE regulations right around the corner, Hayward’s leading position in energy effectiveness is more significant than ever.”
Hayward has placed substantial investments in its variable-speed pumps with advanced wet-end technology bringing significant gains in hydraulic performance. Enhanced with new high-efficiency motors, this has led to the development of a new class of ultra–high efficiency Hayward pumps, including the latest XE Series models expected to start production later this year, offering similar energy-saving performance with lower purchase prices. Hayward Ultra-High Efficiency pumps are rated by the DOE as the most energy-efficient in the pool industry, with the TriStar VS 900 achieving the highest WEF score of any pump.
Hayward has also announced the start of a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee program for its Ultra-High Efficiency pumps, offering a 60-day money-back guarantee for any pool owner not completely satisfied with their pump’s performance. The 100% Satisfaction Guarantee further reinforces Hayward’s confidence in its pumps’ performance and reliability and provides a clear signal of commitment to leading the industry with consumer satisfaction initiatives.
