Two more pool/spa equipment manufacturers have been recognized for their contributions to energy conservation efforts.
Hayward Pool Products and A.O. Smith have both received Energy Star's Partner of the Year recognition. Every year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy award companies that have helped in the development of energy-efficient products.
Hayward was honored for its work in the variable-speed pump category, while A.O. Smith's high-efficiency water heaters earned them recognition.
This makes three pool/spa firms to be recognized by Energy Star. As recently reported, Pentair Aquatic Systems was given its sixth recognition, the 2019 Energy Star Partner of the Year — Sustained Excellence Award, which honors companies that have been recognized at least twice in a row.
