Hayward's Equipment Lineup: How the Product Families Break Down

Hayward organizes its residential product line into two tiers: Expert Line and Open Line. Expert Line products are sold exclusively through authorized dealers and qualify for parts and labor warranty coverage. Open Line products carry a W3 model prefix, are approved for online sale, and carry standard warranty terms — often the same product with a different distribution channel and warranty tier attached.

  • Pumps — Variable-speed platforms include the TriStar VS, Super Pump VS, and MaxFlo VS, all available with OmniX pre-installed. The EcoStar remains the high-efficiency workhorse for energy-focused installs. Learn more about Hayward pumps.
  • Filters — Pro Series sand and cartridge filters are among the most widely installed in the country, with DE options available for finer filtration. Learn more about Hayward filters.
  • Heaters — H-Series gas heaters are available in natural gas and propane with cupro-nickel heat exchanger options for salt pools. The HeatPro covers electric heating for warmer climates. Learn more about Hayward heaters.
  • Salt Chlorinators — AquaRite TurboCell systems are sized by pool volume and integrate directly with all Omni automation platforms. Learn more about Hayward salt systems.

Hayward Universal H-Series Gas Heaters

The Hayward Universal H-Series is one of the most widely installed gas heaters in the residential pool market, and for good reason — it's available in natural gas and propane, covers a BTU range from 150,000 up to 400,000, and is designed to fit cleanly on new builds and retrofit pads alike. The forced draft combustion system moves air through the chamber at a controlled rate, eliminating the need for a high-wind stack and making roof or enclosed equipment pad installs more straightforward.

Every H-Series unit ships standard with a cupro-nickel heat exchanger, which is a meaningful spec. Cupro-nickel handles corrosion and erosion significantly better than standard copper in saltwater environments, and Hayward's "Totally Managed Flow" design keeps water velocity consistent across all heat exchanger tubes — reducing hot spots and extending exchanger life. This makes the H-Series a reliable choice for salt pools without needing to spec an upgrade option.

The LED control panel includes digital temperature readout and onboard self-diagnostics, which speeds up troubleshooting on service calls. The heater is compatible with OmniLogic and OmniPL automation systems, and meets low-NOx emissions standards including SCAQMD requirements for California installs.

For sizing, a general rule of thumb is 50,000 BTU per 10,000 gallons as a starting point, adjusted for climate, desired temperature rise, and whether the pool is covered. Pools in colder climates or without covers will need to size up. Replacement parts for the H-Series — heat exchangers, gas valves, ignitors, headers, and control boards — are broadly available as genuine Hayward OEM components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EZ Pools an authorized Hayward dealer?
Yes. EZ Pools is an authorized Hayward dealer. All Hayward equipment sold through ezpools.com is genuine OEM product eligible for manufacturer warranty coverage. Hayward products can be registered directly through the Hayward warranty portal at hayward-pool.com.
What is the difference between Hayward Expert Line and Open Line products?
Expert Line products are sold exclusively through authorized brick-and-mortar dealers and licensed pool professionals, and they qualify for parts and labor warranty coverage. Open Line products carry a W3 model prefix, are approved for online sale, and carry standard warranty terms. The underlying product is often the same — the difference is in the distribution channel and warranty tier.
What is the difference between the Hayward TriStar VS, Super Pump VS, and MaxFlo VS?
The TriStar VS is Hayward's high-performance variable-speed pump, suited for larger pools and feature-heavy pads with waterfalls, in-floor cleaning, or solar heating. The Super Pump VS is a direct retrofit for the widely installed Super Pump and is the standard choice for most residential upgrades. The MaxFlo VS is the compact, value-oriented option for smaller pools or tight equipment pads. All three are currently available with the OmniX module pre-installed for smart app control.
What is Hayward OmniX and how is it different from OmniLogic?
OmniX is a decentralized pump-level automation system built directly into current Hayward variable-speed pumps. It uses the OmniX app for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi control without needing a central load center. OmniLogic is a full-pad automation system that manages pumps, heaters, salt systems, lighting, and valves from a centralized controller, and is the right choice for complex installations with multiple features and circuits.
What AquaRite TurboCell do I need for my pool?
Hayward TurboCell salt cells are sized by pool volume. The T-3 covers pools up to 15,000 gallons, the T-9 covers up to 40,000 gallons, and the T-15 covers up to 60,000 gallons. When in doubt, size up — running a larger cell at a lower output percentage extends cell life compared to running a smaller cell at maximum output.
Do Hayward H-Series heaters work with saltwater pools?
Yes, but it is important to verify the heat exchanger material. Hayward H-Series heaters are available with cupro-nickel heat exchangers, which provide significantly better corrosion resistance in saltwater environments than standard copper. Always confirm the cupro-nickel option when speccing a heater for a salt pool.
