Sizing:

When replacing your T-Cell-3 Turbo salt cell, take this opportunity to make sure it is sized correctly. Sizing your salt cell properly is key to making sure you will not need to supplement with additional chlorine or shock your pool, and also extends the lifespan of your cell.The industry recommends using a salt cell with a max capacity of 1.5-2 times the actual size of your pool (more is better). The T-Cell-3 Turbo is manufacturer rated for a maximum capacity of 15,000 gallons.

Compatibility:

This replacement salt cell for the T-Cell-3 Turbo is 100% compatible with original systems (no software/firmware issues). The T-Cell-3 Turbo cell has the same length, threading, and cable connection for direct replacement.

To get the most life out of your salt cell and to keep your pool running without unexpected interruptions, make sure it is sized correctly, maintain correct water balance, and be sure and inspect your cell at least every 3 months for leaks, debris, and calcium scale. Be sure to follow instructions in the product manual and clean the cell as often as the system indicates.

Questions From Customers

Q: Is this cell compatible with the Hayward Aqua-trol RJ or the Hayward Aqua-trol HP controller?

Asked by: jerry - 5/9/2017
A: You'll want to ensure that you currently use the T-Cell-3 size salt cell, or if you don't, ensure that you can change the "Cell Type" setting on your control box to the desired size of your new cell. Hayward's different size turbo cells are T-3, T-5, T-9, and T-15, which also might be written as GLX-3, GLX-5, GLX-9, and GLX-15 on your cell. Take a look at what you have to be sure.

Q: Does it included the power cord and 2 unions as pictured?

Asked by: Chris - 4/27/2017
A: Yes, the power cord is included and permanently attached to the cell. While Hayward pictures the unions in their imagery for identification purposes, they do not include unions in the box with the cell, as it is meant to replace an existing cell and connect to existing unions without having to re-install. The unions are available as separate parts in both 2" and 1.5" sizes.

Q: I currently have a Hayward Aqua plus system 10,000 gallon pool- 10 years old with a t5 cell. I'm getting a low salt reading but salt test strips show a good reading. I believe I have 2 setting options t5 or t3. Can I assume that this would work? I don't seem to find t5 cells that indicate that they will work with Aqua Plus system

Asked by: Doug - 6/20/2017
A: Yes, Hayward cells work with all of their associated products such as AquaRite, AquaPlus, AquaLogic, etc... as long as your system has the correct cell type, or can be changed to display the desired cell type. If your system displays T-3, that does correspond to these T-Cell-3 replacements. T-5 cells are unfortunately not available.

Q: Is this cell compatible with version 1.4 Aqua Rite controller??? Your description does not specify. All that I have found call for version 1.5

Asked by: Walt - 5/29/2019
A: If you currently have a T-Cell-3, this is 100% compatible whatever the software revision in your system. If you don't have a T-Cell-3, you would not want to downgrade.

Q: what is a replacement for a hayward blue essence salt cell for pools up to 20000 gallons?

Asked by: William J Steen - 4/18/2023
A: Hit the diagnostic button on your controller until you see what "cell type" you have (T-3, T9, etc...). This is what model cell you need. If you are looking for a complete new system instead of a replacement cell, you might take a look at many newer 20,000 gallon salt systems available.

Q: What is the replacement cell for Hayward 940SWB

Asked by: David O'Brien - 12/30/2023
A: The Hayward 940 is able to run Hayward's T3, T9, or T15 cells. Currently we are out of stock on the Hayward-branded cells. However, we offer several aftermarket cells that are compatible with the Hayward AquaRite,
The aftermarket cells can be found at these links:

https://www.discountsaltpool.com/replacement-cell-for-hayward-aqua-rite-gen-15-circupool
The T-3, 9, and 15 cells vary by system capacity and if you change type, you will need to change the control module's "cell type" setting - check your owner's manual.
