Hayward Automation Systems
Hayward does not make it easy to understand the various automation systems Hayward sells and has sold. Hayward has packaged various of their products together under different names.
Hayward acquired Goldline in August 2004 to get their pool automation product line. You will still find systems branded and refereed to as Goldline Systems.
Technical Updates for Pool Professionals shows all the pump models that work with Omni-Based systems.
Verify all system descriptions and specifications on the Hayward Pool Website.
