When it finally died, I replaced it with one just like it bought here on Amazon. That was about three years ago and it is working fine. Easy install and set up. I think I had to call for a program sequence once the controller was mounted, but that was easy to do also. My impression is that the 40,000 gallon rated model doesn't have to work as often or as hard on a smaller pool, and therefore lasts longer. So, it costs a little more up front to buy, but you save money because it lasts years longer. And, because it doesn't have to be on as many hours a day, it uses less electricity than the smaller units. So, that is another savings. Just my opinion, and my experience. No actual testing was done. Good luck. I think you will be happy with it. **Q: Does this system actually sense the chlorine level in the pool and automatically adjust the generation level to maintain the correct level?** A: It measures the salt content and you set the machine based on pool size and time of year for your area. The salt must stay between 2700 and 3400ppm and the pool will stay perfect. **Q: Does the unit have to be professionally installed for the warranty to be valid?** A: Should be a qualified tech to install unit. **Q: Does this include unions?** A: No, the order does include unions. Just a simple "remove & replace" (R&R) to existing equipment .... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get the Salt system for the pool *by T***M on May 22, 2026* At first i was not going to turn our pool into a salt pool.

It is worth the money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick ship *by E***N on June 28, 2026* Arrived quickly and easy install. ### ⭐ Hayward will not honor warranty. *by V***O on December 15, 2025* Worked fine for 6 months then the salt cell failed. Hayward makes it impossible to do a warranty repair. The system is not producing chlorine and the diagnostics indicate that the cell has failed internally (open circuit). I have verified correct installation, correct cell type (T-9), and proper salinity. I also performed a complete hard reset and inspected the cell connector on the control board. Here are my diagnostic readings: Temperature: 65°F Voltage: 32.8V Amperage: 0.00A Instant Salt: –0 Average Salt: 3000 ppm Cell Type: T-9 Software: r1.59 AquaLogic Setting: AL-0 Desired Output: 50% Independent water testing: Salt level measured at 3650 ppm Troubleshooting performed: Hard reset (breaker off for 5 minutes) Verified correct cell type (T-9) Inspected cell cable and connector – no corrosion or damage Board inspected – no thermistor damage, no burnt components Re-seated connector at board No Flow light is off, flow switch functioning Cell clean and recently maintained Based on the above (33V, 0.00A, and –0 instant salinity), the cell appears to have an internal open circuit, which matches the documented failure mode for a defective salt cell. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hayward W3AQR15 AquaRite Salt Chlorination System for In-Ground Pools up to 40,000 Gallons - Hayward W3S270T ProSeries Sand Filter, 27-Inch, Top-Mount - Hayward W3SP2303VSP MaxFlo VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/148159851-hayward-aquarite-salt-chlorine-generator-for-swimming-pools-40-000](https://www.desertcart.us/products/148159851-hayward-aquarite-salt-chlorine-generator-for-swimming-pools-40-000) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
