I have an AquaRite that uses the t-cell-15. The system is 5/6 years old. Do I need a soft ware update?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/13/2009 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

No you would not need a software update, the GLXCELL15 would work fine with your system here >http://www.inyopools.com/Products/02100023001296.htm The GLXCELL15 comes without the flow switch which you would not require. The only time you would need a software upgrade is if you went with one of the smaller cells which just came out in 2009 if for example you tried to install a TCELL3 your software would not recognize this cell but the GLXCELL15 (TCELL15) is recognized by all versions of the software.

To clean the TCELL15 you will need to first use a water hose to try and hose off the scale build up. Then use a water to muriatic acid mixture of 4 to 1 to clean the plates. Always add the acid to the water. Let stand for approximately 15 minutes. You can then rinse and reinstall.

The GLXCELL15 will work with the AquaRite, AquaLogic and ProLogic systems. Depending on the age of your system, you may want to double check yoru software revision. The difference between the 2 cell is that the GLXCELL15 has a 3 year warranty and the GLXCELL15W has only a 1 year warranty.

Hi, Kevin. That error message indicates that the salt level in your pool is higher than normal. You would need to test your salt level to determine the actual salt level of your pool. If the salt level is higher than 3400 ppm you will need to dilute the pool by adding fresh water.

Hi, James. You can replace the T-Cell 15 with the T-Cell 3 if your controller has a software revision of 1.50 or higher. Also, it is price lower but it will not last as long as the T-Cell 15 on your pool. The lower percentage that the cell run on the longer the cell will last.

If the ‘Inspect Cell’ light flashes by itself, it is an early indication that the cell life is coming to an end. Each cell is equipped with 500 operational hours and requires a manual reset once it expires. The remedy is to reset the cell by holding down the ‘Diagnostic’ button for 3-5 seconds.

Unfortunately no, as we are not a storefront retailer however Hayward does have some retailers that are authorized warranty centers. You can confirm through Haywards web site by clicking here

Need to replace my Goldline Chlorinator Cell 15. Just checking to make sure this is the correct one. Also, would there need to be any changes on the current panel with regard to software revisions. Thanks so much!

Hi, Adam. This is a direct replacement, no modifications will have to be made.

Confused by the W3T designation of Your Goldline T-cell 15. Will this fit my 10 year old circuit board?

Good day, Gerard,The W3 stands for WWW online resale code used by the manufacturer. If your board is currently, set for a T-CELL15 the new cell would be a replacement.

I replaced the turbo cell because the red no flow light was on and it was not generating. After replacing the cell is did not correct the problem. Any other ideas what could be the problem? Thank you.

A  Answered on 5/11/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

I would check to see if you have adequate flow, you need at least 11 GPM's of flow. If you seem to have good flow then you may need to replace your flow switch with this AquaRite Flow Switch.
 Reply

  • Commented on 5/12/2021 by Product Owner

    How do you know if you have adequate flow? If the control unit doesn't flash the flow button, can I assume the flow is good enough?
     Reply

    • Commented on 5/12/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

      11 GPM is very low flow, normally your pump should be pumping at 60 - 100 GPM, if you can feel water coming out of the return jets in the pool then you can assume you have more than 11 GPM of flow.

I've had a T-15 Hayward cell in operation for 6 years for a 15.5 k gallon pool. Never a sign of build up on the plates. Removed in winter for fear of freeze damage. Just wondering how much longer before it gives out?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/19/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Danny R.

This is a tough question to answer.  I am on year 4 of mine, but here in Florida I run my pool year-round.  Typically the cells here run 3-5 years.  It also will depend how high you are running the cell.  6 years is a good amount of time though.

I have a mineral springs cell 15 I need to replace. My pool is about 10,000 gallons. Do I need the same cell and do I need to reconfigure it. What cell is best and why can"t I find a Mineral Springs cell? Thank you Mark
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/27/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Craig C.

Hello Mark.  For Salt Water Systems sold under the Mineral Springs branding, Hayward Aqua Rite chlorine generating cells are the direct replacements.  In general terms, the larger capacity chlorine generating cells have the advantage of running at lower output levels for the desired level of chlorine, increasing their operational life span.   For example; the T Cell 15 can generate up to 1.47 pounds of chlorine per day at a salinity level of 2900ppm, the T Cell 9 can produce up to 0.98 pounds of chlorine.  Replacing your current cell with a W3T-Cell-15 requires no reconfiguration. Some Mineral Springs models do not have the ability to be configured to cells that differ from the original size.  Please check with the manufacturer (Hayward) for compatibility.

Hi Jeff, this AquaRite Replacement Cell (TCELL15) - W3T-CELL-15 is compatible with the software version in your Blue Essence SWG and should be "plug and play", though you need to reset the average salt level (see page 11 of this guide for instructions) whenever a salt cell is replaced.  Be sure that your generator is set to the correct cell size (see page 10 of this guide on how to reset it if necessary).  It is currently in stock and ready to ship.

Hello, My Salt Cell might be dying. It's been 5 years almost to the month since I replaced the last one. I tested the water with a test kit and it reads 2900, but the cell is reading 2500 and flashing. I have an Aquarite system T-15. The control box reads r1.59. I believe that is the revision of the firmware? Is this the correct replacement and is there another way to definitively test the cell to make sure it needs replacement? Thanks, Greg

A  Answered on 4/5/2022 by InyoPools Product Specialist Craig C.

Hello Greg.  A 400 PPM salt reading discrepancy between an independent test and the Hayward Control Box reading is not unusual.  The Inspect Cell and Check Salt lights should both be flashing indicating the system is reading a salinity level below 2700 PPM.  The target salinity level for the AquaRite SWG is 3200 PPM.  Please review the attached Troubleshooting Guide and follow the appropriate steps for Cleaning the Cell, Resetting the Average Salt Reading, and Salt Addition Chart.   Troubleshooting Guide  Please review the attached Quick Reference Guide for additional troubleshooting.  Quick Reference Guide  A local retailer may be equipped with Hayward Salt Cell Diagnostic Equipment.
