The company’s core offerings include pool pumps, filters, heaters, lighting, sanitization systems, cleaners, and digital control solutions, which collectively support pool construction, maintenance, and energy efficiency.

The company traces its origins to 1925, when it was founded as Hayward Pool Products and gradually expanded from mechanical pool components into a broad portfolio of technologically advanced pool systems. Over time, Hayward developed a reputation for durable equipment and energy-efficient solutions, particularly in variable-speed pumps and integrated pool automation. Hayward Holdings, Inc. became a publicly traded company in 2021 following its initial public offering, further formalizing its position as a leading independent manufacturer in the global pool equipment market.
