Your pool pump is an essential part of your swimming pool system. Without one, your pool would not circulate water effectively, moving water from the pool into the pool filter to be purified before returning.
Hayward pool pumps are among the best in the industry and come in various sizes and capacities. They range from 1/2 HP models for smaller above-ground swimming pools to larger models that can handle pools up to 50 feet in size.
Hayward pool pump prices vary depending on the size and capacity of the pump.
Most Hayward pool pump models cost $400-$1000, while their highest-end smart pumps cost over $1,500.
We recommend replacing your Hayward pool pump every ten years. This ensures that your pool remains safe and clean.

Hayward Pool Pump Repair Cost
The average Hayward pool pump will last 8-12 years under normal use.
Generally speaking, when a pool pump fails, the best solution is to simply replace the pump at the cost of $400 to $1500. This is because the cost to replace and install a new pump is typically not much more than hiring a pool equipment repair professional to pull, repair, and reinstall a broken one.
If your pool pump develops a leak, then always replace it. You will likely not be able to fix a leak yourself.
That said, you can identify and replace broken components yourself if you know what you are doing.
If the motor is beyond repair, but the rest of the pump is in good condition, replacing just the motor instead of the whole pump is a good money-saving option. Repairing your pool pump motor will cost between $100 and $500, including labor and materials.
Hayward Pool Pump Warranty Information
Hayward pool pumps are built to last. They are designed to last for many years.
The manufacturer warranty is for 1 year and covers most part and labor costs of repairing your Hayward pool pump. You will need to send the failed pump to Hayward within 90 days of its failure to qualify.
We generally do not recommend buying an extended warranty on a pool pump because, for the most part, today’s technology is extremely reliable under normal and proper use.
Hayward Pool Pump Parts
Hayward pool pumps are made from several different types of parts. Each part has its unique purpose.
Hayward pool pump strainers and baskets are made from plastic mesh. They are placed inside the pool pump strainer section to catch debris and dirt before they make it into the filter.
Hayward’s pool motors are used to power the pump.
Hayward pool impellers are used to push water through the pump.

Hayward’s pool pipes transport water between the pump and the filter.
Hayward Pool Filter Replacement Cost
Hayward pool filters should be cleaned or replaced from every few months to once a year in-season, depending on the amount and type of debris your pool deals with.
This helps keep your pool clean and clear.
Hayward pool filter replacement costs depend on the brand and model of the filter, but most are priced around $100-$200.
