You can also count on a pump that’s built so well it can withstand harsh climates and the worst chemistry conditions. You get trouble-free performance.

Now let us look at some of the benefits of a heat pump.

Heat Pumps Save You Money

All Hayward heat pumps can save you up to 80% in operating costs compared with gas heaters. What’s more, the Hayward heater pays for itself in just one year.

The heat pump is efficient because it takes heat out of the air and uses it to warm the water in your pool. This eliminates wasted energy and is very energy efficient.When cooling your pool, the pump reverses the process. In cooling mode, your heat pump pulls heat of the water and puts it back into the air. The best part – you set your water temperature, and the pump keeps it there.
