  • So far, am very pleased!
We had an old Hayward chlorine generator in the house we purchased, and it never worked right. But I had no idea how old it was or who had been doing what to it. I would get one salt reading from it, a totally different reading from a hand-held digital salt meter, and yet another totally different reading from Leslie's. I had no idea which one to believe, and as a result it was difficult to keep the pool water algae free and looking clear. On the old Hayward, the light to add salt was always on, no matter how much salt you put into it. Finally, it got to the point where it would not generate chlorine and algae was taking over. I said enough was enough and started looking for a replacement. Despite the problems I was having with the Hayward I inherited, I never really considered buying a chlorine generator other than a Hayward. I like the fact that you could return it within 30 days if you bought it through Amazon. Because the new one used the same plumbing as the old one, and even look almost identical to the old one, installation was easy. So far, I have been extremely pleased and my salt water pool looks great. As it turns out, the salt reading on the digital salt meter and the Hayward are very close. I have a 3-year warranty on the Hayward, which is also reassuring. The only negative thus far is the Hayward owner's manual, which just about requires you to be a chemical scientist to understand their discussion of pool water chemistry. But I am not too concerned about that. The bottom line and best gauge of the health of your pool water is how it looks and whether you have any algae problems. If it looks clear and sparkles, and if you have no algae, you have 90% of the problem beat. I may come to a different conclusion later down the line, but the Hayward chlorine generator I bought on Amazon has made a huge difference in the amount of time I spend on the pool, the amount of money I spend on salt, and my general happiness with using the pool. ... show more

  • Quality equipment and components
System works great. Easy install and setup to get to operational mode. Water is much less harsh to swim in and nice on the skin. It has been only two months of use and already much less daily care and no chlorine costs.

  • Easy to install and works as advertised
Install was straightforward and started making chlorine right away. Unit is rated for 15K gallon and mine is 6K gallon so I set it to 40% and level is fine.

  • DO NOT BUY A HAYWARD
If you're planning on installing this salt chlorinator yourself, DO NOT BUY A HAYWARD. Mine came with a flow switch that was missing a tiny magnet. There's no way to get a replacement part. I was unaware of this until after I installed it. Once installed, you're screwed. I called the Hayward Corp tech line and waited 22 minutes before someone answered. I explained there's a tiny part missing asked for them to send a replacement part. She said they do not send anything directly to any consumers. They instructed me to complete the 90 day warranty and then search for a local Hayward approved repair store/service. I did so but the local approved pool service said that I'd have to purchase the flow-switch for $99.00 since the warranty doesn't cover self-installed units. This is Haywards policy. They said the warranty doesn't cover replacement or repair if you do the repair yourself. Hayward tech support didn't bother telling me this or offer any suggestions/solutions whatsoever. What a joke! The installation is an easy process but don't do it or the product will not be covered under warranty. Amazon doesn't sell this particular magnet but sells the flow-switch for $174.00. ... show more
