Frequently Asked Questions

What older Hayward T-CELL does the TCELLS325 correspond to?

The TCELLS325 is the S3-generation replacement cell corresponding to the older Hayward Goldline T-CELL-9. The controller must be set to t-9.

Note: the “325” in the S3 model name does not indicate a T-CELL-25 equivalent. The full S3 cross-reference is:

• TCELLS315 → T-CELL-3 (t-3)
• TCELLS318 → T-CELL-5 (t-5)
• TCELLS325 → T-CELL-9 (t-9) — not T-CELL-25
• TCELLS340 → T-CELL-15 (t-15)

Is the TCELLS325 compatible with Hayward AquaRite?

Yes — the TCELLS325 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. If you’re unsure, contact us 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. If replacing an existing T-CELL-9, verify that the controller is set to t-9.

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

The TCELLS325 is the S3-generation replacement cell corresponding to the older Hayward Goldline T-CELL-9. Compatibility with your existing controller depends on the model and firmware version. Contact us if you’re unsure before purchasing.

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

The T-CELL-9 (TCELLS325) is rated for pools up to approximately 95,000 litres; the T-CELL-15 (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 is configured for the correct cell type.

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

No. The “325” in TCELLS325 does not indicate chlorine output in grams per hour or a T-CELL-25 equivalent. The correct cross-reference is TCELLS325 → T-CELL-9 (t-9).

What pool size is the TCELLS325 suitable for?

The TCELLS325 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 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.

How do I know which Hayward cell I need?

Check the model number on your existing cell and your controller’s current t-setting. If you’re unsure, contact Pool Shop Australia and we’ll help identify the correct cell for your system.
