Hayward Goldline T-CELL-9 / TCELLS325 Cell - Genuine

The Hayward Goldline T-Cell-9 (TCELLS325) is a genuine OEM replacement salt chlorinator cell for the Hayward Aqua Rite Electronic Chlorine Generator. Using advanced electrolytic technology, the Turbo Cell converts dissolved salt in your pool water into a continuous supply of pure chlorine — delivering clean, clear, and luxuriously soft water without the need for manual chlorine dosing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the part number for the Hayward T-Cell-9?

The Hayward T-Cell-9 has part number TCELLS325 (SKU: 1D-TCELLS325). It is the genuine OEM replacement cell for Hayward Aqua Rite salt chlorination systems.

What pool size is the T-Cell-9 suitable for?

The T-Cell-9 is suitable for pools up to approximately 95,000 litres (25,000 gallons). For larger pools, or for extended cell life on smaller pools, consider the T-Cell-15 (TCELL15AU) which is rated for pools up to 150,000 litres (40,000 gallons).

What is the difference between the T-Cell-9 and T-Cell-15?

The T-Cell-9 and T-Cell-15 share identical physical dimensions, 2" union connections, and electrical connectors — they are interchangeable on compatible Aqua Rite systems. The key difference is chlorine production capacity: the T-Cell-15 produces more chlorine and is rated for larger pools. Many pool professionals prefer the T-Cell-15 even on smaller pools, as it runs less hard and can deliver a longer service life. Note: if your controller has selectable cell sizes, ensure it is configured for the correct cell type after any swap.

Is the T-Cell-9 compatible with my existing Aqua Rite system?

Yes — the T-Cell-9 is compatible with Hayward Aqua Rite salt chlorination systems. The new-style cell is also a direct retrofit for older white-body Turbo Cell units, so no additional plumbing or modifications are required.

Is this a genuine Hayward cell?

Yes — this is a genuine OEM Hayward Goldline Turbo Cell, not an aftermarket substitute. Genuine cells ensure correct fit, reliable performance, and full compatibility with your Aqua Rite control box.

How does a salt chlorinator cell work?

As pool water passes through the Turbo Cell, a safe electrical charge from the Aqua Rite control box converts dissolved salt into chlorine. The chlorinated water is returned to the pool via the jets, and the process repeats each time water is recirculated. Salt does not evaporate, so top-ups are rarely needed.

When should I replace my T-Cell-9?

Salt chlorinator cells typically last 3–5 years depending on usage, water chemistry, and maintenance. Signs that your cell needs replacing include reduced chlorine output, persistent low chlorine readings despite correct salt levels, or a cell inspection light on your control box.
