Company's Nashville Facility and Technologically Advanced Pool Equipment Spotlighted in Segment Airing May 21st, 8:30 pm CDT


ELIZABETH, NJ--(Marketwired - May 21, 2013) - Hayward® Pool Products, the largest manufacturer of residential pool equipment in the world, will be featured in a segment of "Manufacturing Marvels" to be aired on the FOX Business Network®, Tuesday, May 21 at 8:30- 8:45 pm CDT.

"Manufacturing Marvels" spotlights American manufacturers across a variety of industries. Marvel Production Group, LLC (MPG) visited Hayward's Nashville facility on May 6th to film a segment on the company's production and manufacturing methods of its technologically-advanced heaters and heat pumps solutions. MPG highlighted Hayward's highly-efficient, lean manufacturing process, and its products that are produced in a one-piece flow aligning with customer demands.

The Manufacturing Marvels segment highlighting Hayward was produced by award winning producers Bob and Jerry May and narrated by nationally acclaimed voice talent John Criswell.

"We are incredibly proud of the advanced manufacturing techniques that we have perfected to create highly-technical, energy-efficient, state of the art pool products," said Vice President of Global Operations Don Smith. "Our goal is to help pool owners save on energy costs, spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying their pools. Hayward's environmental mission led to the development of our Energy Solutions® line of products, which reduce energy, water and chemical use. We offer breathtaking, energy-efficient color LED lighting that allows pool owners to create themes for perfect poolside events. Salt chlorination delivers the ultimate swimming experience that is as easy on the wallet as it is on eyes and skin. Automatic pool cleaners and controls save money and reduce pool maintenance time. But the biggest energy saver is with our variable-speed pumps -- up to a 90 percent energy savings. They also meet the ENERGY STAR® certification requirements recently finalized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This is the first ENERGY STAR specification for pool pumps established by the EPA, and is part of the program's overall commitment to help prevent climate change by encouraging superior energy efficiency. So, when Marvel Production group approached us about taping at our facility, we thought it was an excellent opportunity to showcase our process, practices and products."
