Important Compatibility Information

• The TCELLS315 is intended for use with Hayward AquaRite and AquaRite S3 systems. It is also compatible with select ProLogic systems running the required firmware versions.
• When replacing an older T-CELL-3 with a TCELLS315, controller configuration may be required. Compatibility depends on your chlorinator controller model and firmware version.

Frequently Asked Questions

What older Hayward T-CELL does the TCELLS315 correspond to?

The TCELLS315 corresponds to the older T-CELL-3 model (also known as 1D-TCELL3AU). When installing this cell, your controller should be set to t-3. Note: the “315” in the S3 model name does not indicate the equivalent older T-CELL number — the correct cross-reference is TCELLS315 → T-CELL-3.

Is the TCELLS315 compatible with Hayward AquaRite?

The TCELLS315 is designed for use with Hayward AquaRite (2009 or later, firmware 1.50+) and AquaRite S3 systems. It is also compatible with AquaRite Pro (firmware 1.10+), ProLogic P4 (firmware 4.10+), and ProLogic PS (firmware 4.10+). It will not work with earlier firmware versions. Consult your Hayward dealer to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

Is this a genuine Hayward salt cell?

Yes — the TCELLS315 is a genuine Hayward TurboCell S3 replacement cell, not an aftermarket substitute.

Do I need to change the cell setting on my chlorinator after installing this cell?

Yes, in most cases. The TCELLS315 requires the controller to be set to t-3. If you are replacing an older T-CELL-3, the setting should already be correct, but always verify after installation.

Can I replace my old Goldline TurboCell T-CELL-3 with the TCELLS315?

The TCELLS315 is the current S3-generation cell that corresponds to the T-CELL-3. However, compatibility with your existing Goldline or Hayward controller depends on the controller model and firmware. Controller reconfiguration may be required. We recommend confirming compatibility with your Hayward dealer before purchasing.

Does the number in the S3 model name indicate chlorine output?

No. The “315” in TCELLS315 does not correspond to chlorine output in grams per hour, nor does it match the older T-CELL numbering system. The correct cross-reference is TCELLS315 → T-CELL-3. Refer to Hayward’s official documentation for chlorine output specifications for your specific model.

How do I know which Hayward cell I need?

Check your existing cell’s model number and your controller’s current t-setting. The S3 cross-reference is: TCELLS315 → T-CELL-3 (t-3); TCELLS318 → T-CELL-5 (t-5); TCELLS325 → T-CELL-9 (t-9); TCELLS340 → T-CELL-15 (t-15). If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll help you identify the correct cell.
