Hayward TurboCell S3 TCELLS325 – Genuine Replacement Salt Chlorinator Cell

The Hayward TurboCell S3 TCELLS325 is the newer genuine Hayward replacement for the older 1D-TCELL9AU (T-CELL-9 / TCELL9AU) salt chlorinator cell. The Australian replacement part number is 1D-TCELLS325. It suits pools up to approximately 95,000 litres and uses the T-CELL-9 / t-9 controller setting.

Compatibility with older Goldline or AquaRite controllers depends on the controller model and firmware version. The replacement cross-reference does not mean every older controller is compatible.

Can I replace my old Goldline T-CELL-9 with the TCELLS325?

The TCELLS325 is the S3-generation replacement corresponding to the older Hayward Goldline T-CELL-9. Compatibility with your existing controller depends on its model and firmware version. Contact us if you are unsure before purchasing.

Is the TCELLS325 compatible with Hayward AquaRite?

It is compatible with Hayward AquaRite, AquaRite 900, AquaRite S3 and compatible Hayward Omni/automation systems. Compatibility with older controllers depends on the controller model and firmware. Confirm your setup before ordering.

Is this a genuine Hayward salt cell?

Yes. The TCELLS325 (1D-TCELLS325) is a genuine Hayward replacement cell, not an aftermarket substitute.

Do I need to change the controller setting when installing this cell?

The controller must be configured for T-CELL-9 / t-9. When replacing an existing T-CELL-9, verify that the controller is set to t-9 before and after installation.

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

The T-CELL-9 equivalent, TCELLS325, is rated for pools up to approximately 95,000 litres. The T-CELL-15 equivalent, TCELLS340, is rated for pools up to approximately 150,000 litres. Many pool professionals prefer the T-CELL-15 even on smaller pools as it runs less hard and may deliver a longer service life. If swapping between cell sizes, ensure your controller supports the cell and is configured for the correct cell type.

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

No. “325” does not indicate chlorine output in grams per hour or a T-CELL-25 equivalent. The correct cross-reference is TCELLS325 to T-CELL-9, with controller setting t-9.

What pool size is the TCELLS325 suitable for?

It is suitable for pools up to approximately 95,000 litres. Actual chlorination requirements can vary depending on pool conditions, climate and usage.

When should I replace my salt chlorinator cell?

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

How do I know which Hayward cell I need?

Check the model number on your existing cell and your controller’s current t-setting. Contact Pool Shop Australia if you need help identifying the correct cell for your system.
