Description

This salt water pool system is designed for in-ground pools up to 25,000 gallons. Hayward's AquaRite Salt Chlorination System is a salt water pool chlorinator system that automatically converts salt into chlorine naturally. This process supports a steady and even distribution of chlorine, helping maintain consistent pool sanitization and water clarity to help keep the pool clean. You no longer have to worry about mixing, measuring, or handling harsh liquid or tablet chlorine. The Hayward W3AQR15 can be easily added to existing equipment and does not require the pool to be drained. The result is not salty, ocean-like water, but a clean and comfortable swimming experience. The AquaRite creates silky soft water that won't irritate eyes, dry out skin, or cause fabrics to fade. It also won't dry out your skin and hair, making it suitable for families enjoying regular pool use. The AquaRite Salt Chlorination System features an easy-to-use digital display and allows adjustment of chlorine output. It remains compatible with Hayward pool products automation systems, enabling custom programming options to set and monitor chlorine levels. Hayward TurboCell Salt Chlorination Cell W3T-CELL-15 included.

    • So far, am very pleased!
Size: 15,000 Gallons
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

    • A solid alternative to chlorine
Size: 25,000 Gallons
I switched over from chlorine to the salt pool years ago, and will never go back. While the initial cost is high, these salt chlorine generators typically last about five years before needing replacement. That seems to be a good trade-off to the annual cost of chlorine tablets. The salt chlorine generator itself arrived timely, and was well packaged. It does not seem that it has changed much over the years, and changing it out with the old unit was seamless. Keep the salt level as required, and you should have a positive water experience in your pool. ... show more

    • Hayward will not honor warranty.
Size: 25,000 Gallons
Worked fine for 6 months then the salt cell failed. Hayward makes it impossible to do a warranty repair. The system is not producing chlorine and the diagnostics indicate that the cell has failed internally (open circuit). I have verified correct installation, correct cell type (T-9), and proper salinity. I also performed a complete hard reset and inspected the cell connector on the control board. Here are my diagnostic readings: Temperature: 65°F Voltage: 32.8V Amperage: 0.00A Instant Salt: –0 Average Salt: 3000 ppm Cell Type: T-9 Software: r1.59 AquaLogic Setting: AL-0 Desired Output: 50% Independent water testing: Salt level measured at 3650 ppm Troubleshooting performed: Hard reset (breaker off for 5 minutes) Verified correct cell type (T-9) Inspected cell cable and connector – no corrosion or damage Board inspected – no thermistor damage, no burnt components Re-seated connector at board No Flow light is off, flow switch functioning Cell clean and recently maintained Based on the above (33V, 0.00A, and –0 instant salinity), the cell appears to have an internal open circuit, which matches the documented failure mode for a defective salt cell. ... show more

    • failed prematurely but Hayward warrantied it no question
Size: 40,000 Gallons
Update: I am amending this review because Hayward I suppose saw this and refunded the unit. Imagine my surprise! I already ordered a Pentair unit and regret that decision - had I known sooner, I would have stayed Hayward. Again, thank you for the surprise and delight and standing by your product! There will be other opportunities for me to use Hayward and this means a lot. Lasted 10 months, now throwing a PCB error and a resistor on the PCB is cooked. It had previously worked well. I still had an old one which had a corroded RJ11 jack. Now I am using that on a timer and that one was 10 years old. Disappointed ... show more

Legit Hayward product. Do not buy if you dont know basic electrical wiring and cant measure pvc cuts. Did not come with main power cord or mounting screws. Luckily I have a pro pool guy as a friend. But just know Hayward will not honor warranty unless bought by an authorized pool shop and installed by one so pray for your 30 day return window. Also check and make sure u arent sent a used return product. Mine came from Dohenys warehouse but watch some videos worst case and kiss your 3 year warranty goodbye. ... show more
