A common sight on newly-built backyard swimming pools, the Hayward Aqua Rite electronic chlorine generator is a convenient alternative to traditional chlorination. The Aqua Rite is a NSF certified salt chlorinator which works with existing pump and filtration systems to reliably supply the swimming pool with pure chlorine, every day. Hayward salt generator uses a low salt level and makes the pool water silky soft to provide the ultimate swimming experience.

The complete Hayward Aqua Rite salt system has three main components: the Control Box, the TurboCell (electrolytic salt cell), and the Flow Switch, along with its miscellaneous hardware and documentation.  Hayward offers three different size Aqua Rites for "right-size" chlorination, T-Cell-3 (15,000 gallons), T-Cell-9 (25,000 gallons), and T-Cell-15 (40,000 gallons).

The Aqua Rite is manufactured by one of the largest providers of swimming pool equipment, and is also know under the popular names Swim Pure Plus, Mineral Springs, Goldline Aquarite, NatureSoft, SplashCLEAR, AquaPlus, Blue Essence, and more. As a pool builder grade system, it has become one of the most widely-known salt systems available since it is the default choice for many pool stores as well as pool construction and service companies.

working great but why no power cord
working great now that it is installed. my only question is doesn't it come with a power cord? at first i thought i got a refurbished unit but then they explained to me the manufacturer does not include a power cord, that added a couple hours and some confusion at the hardware store to get this installed. like i said though, working great now

Solid chlorine alternative
Easy to install if you're replacing an old unit. If it's a new install, you may need an installer and definitely an electrician to connect it.

Hard set up
I had to hire guy to install it, and I was out there with him and ended up even needing to help him. We had to knock a hole in the side of the metal control box and run a power wire to it, which seems dumb to have to do at all, because of course it needs a power wire. The display screen was a little bit of a let down and also hard to use. The salt level isn't the same as what the pool store reads, but it seems to be working ok at this point.

Wasn't this supposed to mean no more chlorine???
My pool store says my water chemistry is perfect except there is NO CHLORINE in th ewater. Hayward says the system is working, but why am I still having to add chlorine to the pool???

help
Once a month I'm still needing to shock the pool because I see little algae spots in the corners, but the chlorine reading has stayed around 2ppm since I installed it. The pool is a lot less of a headache now but I wish it would just stay clear- any help would be appreciated.

The Hayward Aqua Rite controls are a steel sheet-metal box with a hinged and latching door (similar to your circuit-breaker panel). It mounts on the wall (or nearby a post or support) by hanging the control box by a few keyholes on basic screws that have been secured in the wall. Inside of the Control Center door, there is a small LCD display screen (similar to a digital watch), which displays the average salinity reading, temperature, cell volts, cell current, chosen percentage chlorine output, instantaneous salinity, and different cell type settings. The controls have a dial that is used to raise and lower chlorine output, and a three-position switch to activate the system, deactivate the system, or activate the super chlorination mode.

Note: Hayward does not include a power cord or other needed connectors, grommets, or accessories with which to the control box is to be wired to your power supply.

The Hayward Aqua Rite TurboCell is an inline opaque-plastic housing which contains built-in titanium electrode plates and built-in power supply cord. The AquaRite salt cell has threaded connections on the inlet and outlet, which allow quick access for service or winter removal (if applicable). The threaded connections attach to 2" unions which are glued to the existing return-line PVC plumbing.
The Hayward Aqua Rite includes with it two 2" Threaded Unions, Flow Switch, and Instruction Manual.

Note: The manufacturer does not include a power cord with the Hayward Aqua Rite. The wiring harness will need to be purchased from a local hardware supply.
