  • Great Unit!
Size: 15,000 Gallon
This is my second salt unit, first was a cheaper unit, but this one is so much better!

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

  • Easy to install and works as advertised
Size: 15,000 Gallon
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.

  • A pool must have
Size: 25,000 Gallon
We struggled with chlorine tabs for years. To the point of nearly hiring a pool guy. Our chemicals were always out of wack and constantly adding treatments well over $300 each time. The salt system has changed our pool experience. We haven’t had to do any additions other than the original setup with salt and that’s it. Just remember to remove cell in winter. ... show more

  • Great Chlorinator with 1 flaw.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Now that I have this chlorinator running properly it works great. After the installation, I had a problem where every day when the pump came on the chlorinator would flash "low salt" and "inspect cell" and was not generating salt. After several calls with Hayward support the problem was identified and a work around implemented. I had installed the chlorinator power input to the same source as the pump as per Hayward manual. My pump however, is a Jandy Variflow and the timer is inbuilt. There is 220 volts power on the pump even when it is not running. This means there is 220 volts power on the chlorinator even when the pump is off. It stops generating when no flow is detected and restarts when the pump restarts and creates a flow. The issue is that the memory inside the chlorinator "decays" when there is no flow and the power remains on. When it restarts it needs to be reset to function properly. The workaround was to put an external timer on the chlorinator. It now works great. If you have a pump with an inbuilt timer you need to be aware of this issue ... show more

  • Replacement unit
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Bought this to replace our 12 year old Hayward. Hope this one lasts as long as our last one!! Purchased a cheaper brand first thru Amazon and it came grossly damaged from the manufacturer. Figured it was a sign not to skimp and immediately ordered the Hayward.

  • Well designed product.
Size: 25,000 Gallon
Purchased for a 30' above ground pool. Purchased the one for an inground pool because I had set up my pool with PVC piping a few years ago to eliminate having numerous leaks in the original flex hose. Works really well and so far, glad I did it. The inground option is for PVC piping.

  • Customer Support Not Up to Par
Size: 25,000 Gallon
I had purchased this 1 year and 5 days ago. I called Customer Support to tell them the flow switch had stopped functioning about 10 days prior (trying to diagnose the problem, waiting for Hayward response that never came). I eventually hired someone who determined it was a bad switch. I called Hayward to see if they would send a replacement. Customer service person said, when did you purchase it. I said it was purchase 8/6/2021 and put into service about two weeks after that. "So it was more than a year?" was her response. I guess so I said, or right at a year. She said she would send me a link to the technical people to help me. I thanked her and checked my email. It was a lookup link for local repair people that had nothing to do with Hayward. I will now be buying Pentair, as Hayward appears to be a joke. That was extremely rude, completely disrespectful customer service. Didn't appreciate it at all. I will definitely not recommend this company to anyone. Go with a company that stands behind their products, not customer service policy to pretend to help you. Turned off completely to Hayward. ... show more
