Hayward TurboCell Salt Cell T-Cell-3 — Replacement for Pools up to 15,000 gal, NSF Certified

The Hayward TurboCell T-Cell-3 is a replacement salt chlorination cell designed to produce steady chlorine for in-ground pools up to 15,000 gallons.

Replace an aging or worn cell with a factory-compatible TurboCell to restore automatic chlorination and maintain clear, swimmer-friendly water without the frequent handling of liquid or tablet chlorine. This Hayward cell (also sold as T-Cell-3) fits common Hayward salt systems and works with the brand's automation controllers for dependable operation season after season. It’s NSF certified and backed by a multi-year warranty, making it a straightforward upgrade for owners who want a lower-maintenance pool.

How does the TurboCell T-Cell-3 keep pool water sanitized?

The cell electrolytically converts dissolved salt into the chlorine needed to control contaminants, providing a continuous sanitizing output rather than intermittent shock treatments. That steady supply helps stabilize water chemistry and reduces the peaks and valleys common with manual dosing.

• Electrolysis-based chlorine generation from dissolved salt
• Designed output tuned for pools up to 15,000 gallons
• Operates automatically with compatible Hayward control systems
• NSF certification verifies performance and safety standards

Will this TurboCell reduce pool maintenance time and cost?

Yes — by producing chlorine on demand, the TurboCell lowers the need for frequent chemical purchases and manual dosing, often cutting ongoing sanitizer costs compared with conventional chlorine. You still need to monitor pH and alkalinity, but many owners find routine upkeep simpler and less hands-on.

• Right-sized for up to 15,000-gallon pools to avoid over- or under-production
• Reduces trips to buy chlorine and limits chemical handling
• Compatible with automation to schedule and monitor output
• Included warranty provides added value and assurance

Is the T-Cell-3 easy to install and compatible with my system?

The Hayward TurboCell is a direct fit for many Hayward salt chlorination systems and bolts into the plumbing in-line, typically replacing existing cells without major changes. It pairs with Hayward salt systems such as AquaRite, AquaRite Pro and SwimPure Plus and can be managed through Hayward automation platforms for convenient control.

• Direct replacement for T-CELL-3 and other compatible Hayward cells
• Fits AquaRite, AquaRite Pro, SwimPure Plus salt systems
• Works with AquaPlus, ProLogic, OmniHub and OmniLogic automation
• Installer-friendly plumbing connections; usually a simple swap-out

How long will the TurboCell last and what warranty is included?

Longevity varies with pool conditions and run-time, but TurboCell units are engineered for extended service and come with a multi-year warranty. Using the correct salt levels and following routine maintenance extends cell life while Hayward’s warranty gives added protection against premature failures.

• Built for durability under normal pool operating conditions
• 3-year warranty helps protect your purchase
• Optimal life when salt levels and water chemistry are maintained
• Genuine Hayward replacement performs better than many imitators

Who is this for? Pool owners with in-ground pools up to 15,000 gallons seeking a low-touch sanitation method will benefit most. If you already use or plan to install a Hayward-compatible salt chlorination system and want consistent chlorine production, a TurboCell T-Cell-3 replacement restores reliable automatic sanitization and integrates with Hayward automation for easy control. It’s also a smart choice for anyone who prefers softer-feeling water and fewer manual chemical treatments while keeping maintenance predictable.
