Hayward Expert Line Policy Statement

In order to incentivize full service brick and mortar retailers and experienced pool professionals to provide the costly pre- and post- sale services that increase the demand for Hayward's high-quality products, Hayward is launching its new Expert Line of products, consisting of an array of new, high-end Hayward products available exclusively to brick and mortar dealers, builders and servicers, and not for online resale. Hayward has unilaterally determined that these new, high-end Products are most appropriately sold through experienced and knowledgeable pool professionals capable of providing pre- and post-sale services such as (i) the hiring and/or training of employees to demonstrate and showcase the capabilities and high-quality of these new Hayward products to potential consumers; (ii) investment in a substantial inventory of these new, high-end Hayward products for merchandising or demonstration to potential customers; (iii) investment in advertising and promotion of these new, high-end Hayward products to potential consumers; and (iv) providing superior customer service to purchasers of these new, high-end Hayward products.

The following new, premium Hayward Expert Line of products are available exclusively for purchase by brick and mortar dealers, builders and servicers, and may not be re-sold online. Dealers who choose not to comply with this unilateral policy will be unable to participate in this program, or purchase Hayward Expert Line products.

*Note: The products offered through the Hayward Expert Line Program will expand and change as needed to accommodate new trends and innovation.

Expert Line products can only be purchased through your local pool professional or in-store.
