Hayward Holdings, Inc. (Hayward), a global pool equipment and associated systems manufacturer/marketer, has received Energy Star certification on all its variable-speed pumps (VSPs).
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Energy Star certification recognizes energy efficient, high-performance products compliant with the latest Department of Energy (DOE) energy efficiency standards in the U.S.
According to the company, its full suite of VSPs includes four models: TriStar XL, TriStar 950/900, MaxFlo VS 500, and now Super Pump VS 700. Users can program their pumps to optimize energy efficiency without compromising performance. Quieter operation, better filtration, and lower hydraulic stress on other pool pad products are a plus, while dynamic control of pump speed in harmony with water features can produce dramatic backyard effects as well.
Pool owners with any of Hayward’s five VSPs are now eligible for local utility rebates through Energy Star’s rebate program. By submitting pump model numbers, which will remain unchanged, consumers can enjoy savings of up to $500 (USD). On average, Energy Star-certified pool pumps are 65 per cent more efficient than conventional models, and can save pool owners several hundreds of dollars in annual operating costs, depending on region.
“I am incredibly proud of Hayward’s engineers, designers, and product managers for achieving Energy Star compliance for our entire suite of full-featured variable-speed pumps,” says Kevin Holleran, Hayward’s president and CEO. “The investment in design to increase efficiency without sacrificing performance demonstrates why we continue to be the number-one-rated products brand amongst U.S. pool professionals.”
