Scott Payne Custom Pools has installed Hayward pool equipment in every pool we've ever built — from our very first project to our most recent. We are authorized installers of the Hayward Expert Line™, a premium tier of equipment not available in retail stores. Every pool we build includes variable-speed pumps, cartridge filtration, salt chlorination, advanced water chemistry systems, and lifetime monitoring through the Hayward Home App — at no additional charge.
Scott Payne Custom Pools is an authorized installer of Hayward Expert Line equipment — serving southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey since our first pool.
Why Hayward?
The heart of any great pool is its equipment pad, and for that, we have trusted Hayward since the very first pool we ever built. As a global leader in residential pool equipment for over 90 years, Hayward engineers products that work harder, last longer, and run quieter — without sacrificing power or efficiency.
This is not a recent relationship. Hayward has been our equipment partner from day one, and that loyalty has never wavered because their quality never has either. When we specify Hayward, we are not making a vendor decision — we are making a promise to our clients that the equipment running their pool is the best available.
90+ Years of Innovation
Hayward has been engineering pool equipment since 1925 — longer than almost any other manufacturer in the industry.
Whisper-Quiet Operation
Variable-speed pumps run at a fraction of the noise of single-speed models — you won't know the system is running.
Up to 90% Energy Savings
The TriStar VS pump carries the highest weighted energy factor rating available — saving real money every month.
Full Smart Home Control
Control your entire pool from your phone — pumps, heater, lights, water features, and chemistry — from anywhere in the world.
The Hayward Expert Line™
We are proud to be authorized installers of the Hayward Expert Line™ — a premium tier of equipment that is not available online or in retail stores. Expert Line products are engineered specifically for professional installation and come with extended 3-year parts and labor warranties. Here is what goes into every pool we build:
Advanced Water Chemistry
A Scott Payne Custom Pools Exclusive
We Refuse to Build Pools That Way
Most pool builders completely overlook advanced water chemistry, leaving homeowners to deal with harsh traditional chlorine, chemical odors, and constant manual testing. We rely on two of Hayward's most advanced systems to completely transform the swimming experience while virtually eliminating maintenance:
- HydraPure® Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP): This all-in-one system combines UV light and ozone to form hydroxyl radicals — the most powerful oxidizers available for residential pools. HydraPure destroys chlorine-resistant bacteria and viruses while eliminating the organic compounds that cause chlorine odors and eye irritation.
- Sense & Dispense® Automation: This system continuously monitors your pool's pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). When levels drift, it automatically dispenses the exact amount of chemicals needed to bring the water back into perfect balance — without you ever handling test strips.
HydraPure® — Hayward's advanced UV + ozone sanitization system that transforms your pool water.
Lifetime Free Pool Monitoring via Hayward Home App

We Watch Your Pool — For Life. At No Charge.
When you build with us, you aren't just getting a pool — you're getting a dedicated team watching over it. Through the Hayward Home App and the ProApp remote configuration tool, we provide lifetime monitoring of your pool at no charge.
This is a massive differentiator that almost no other builder offers. While you use the Hayward Home App to effortlessly control your pumps, heaters, lights, and water features from anywhere in the world, our team uses the ProApp dashboard to keep a watchful eye on your pool's health.
- Proactive Troubleshooting: We monitor your system's salt levels, pump status, water temperature, and chemistry in real-time. If an issue arises, we often know about it and can make remote adjustments before you even notice.
- Total Control at Your Fingertips: Set schedules, change themes, adjust the spa temperature on your way home from work, and manage your entire backyard oasis seamlessly from your smartphone or tablet.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have installed Hayward in every pool we have ever built — not because we are required to, but because we have never found anything better. Their product line is comprehensive, their quality is consistent, and their support infrastructure is second to none. When we stake our reputation on a pool, we want the equipment to match.
Expert Line products are Hayward's highest-grade components — engineered specifically for professional installation and not available in retail stores or online. They come with extended 3-year parts and labor warranties versus the standard 1-year warranty on retail products. Every pool we build uses Expert Line equipment.
Through the Hayward ProApp, we have real-time visibility into your pool's pump status, salt levels, water temperature, and automation settings. If something looks off — a pump error, a salt level drop, a heater fault — we see it and can often address it remotely before it becomes a problem. This is included at no charge for the life of your pool.
Yes — the Hayward Home App is free and available on iOS and Android. It gives you full control of your pool from anywhere: pumps, heater, lights, water features, and chemistry. You can also use voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Home if you prefer.
Yes, significantly. Salt water pools use a chlorinator to convert a small amount of dissolved salt into fresh chlorine — so you are still using chlorine, but it is generated continuously at a low, consistent level rather than added in large doses. The result is water that is noticeably softer, gentler on eyes and skin, and far less prone to the harsh chemical smell associated with traditional chlorine pools.
HydraPure is Hayward's advanced oxidation system that combines UV light and ozone to destroy chlorine-resistant bacteria, viruses, and the organic compounds that cause chlorine odors and eye irritation. We strongly recommend it — it transforms the swimming experience and dramatically reduces the chemical load in your pool. We include it in every pool we build.
