Product Overview
Put convenient pool control on your phone with the Hayward OmniX Wi-Fi Gateway. This indoor network bridge connects OmniX-enabled pool equipment to your home internet connection, enabling remote monitoring and control through the OmniX app. Whether you are working, traveling, or relaxing indoors, it helps keep compatible equipment within reach. It is an optional connectivity accessory, not a complete pool automation panel or an equipment conversion kit.
Ideal For
Homeowners adding remote pool access, owner-builders planning connected equipment installations, and pool professionals helping customers manage compatible OmniX systems.
Key Features
- Flexible network connection using 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or a wired router connection.
- Dedicated sub-GHz wireless communication between the gateway and compatible pool equipment.
- Separate status indicators for power, network connectivity, and OmniX operation.
- App-guided configuration using a Hayward account and Bluetooth-enabled mobile device.
Benefits
Check supported operating information without walking to the equipment pad. Adjust compatible pump schedules and available equipment settings from your mobile device. Build your connected pool system gradually by adding supported OmniX equipment as your needs change, rather than replacing everything at once.
Compatibility
Works with OmniX-enabled variable-speed pumps, compatible Universal H-Series heaters, and the OmniX light controller. Verify exact equipment models before ordering; not every Hayward product includes OmniX connectivity.
Certain existing pumps require a separate, compatible retrofit kit. Purchasing this gateway alone does not add OmniX capability to unsupported equipment. Available controls depend on the connected devices and their supported functions.
Installation
Locate the gateway inside your home, within network range and reasonably close to the pool equipment. Complete configuration through the OmniX app, with Bluetooth enabled and the required app permissions granted.
Connected OmniX devices must be powered and assigned to the same app site. Use qualified pool professionals for any equipment wiring or retrofit work beyond gateway setup. Follow Hayward’s placement requirements.
What’s Included
Includes one Hayward OmniX Gateway. Connected pool equipment, retrofit kits, home networking equipment, and mobile devices are not included.

Customer Q&A
Does this work with a 5 GHz-only Wi-Fi network?
No. Use a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection or connect the gateway to your router using a wired connection.
Can I use a mobile hotspot instead of home internet?
Hayward does not guarantee mobile hotspot compatibility. Plan around a suitable home network with internet access for remote operation.
Will this make any Hayward pump remotely controllable?
No. The pump must already support OmniX or be equipped with an approved, compatible retrofit kit. Confirm the exact model before purchasing.
What warranty applies?
Hayward specifies a one-year parts warranty with no labor coverage for this gateway. Coverage remains subject to the manufacturer’s applicable warranty terms and exclusions.
