Hayward TurboCell W3T-CELL-15 Replacement Salt Cell | 40,000 Gallons

Key Benefits + Salt System Replacement Compatibility

• Generates chlorine from dissolved pool salt when connected to a compatible Hayward chlorination system.
• Rated for pools up to 40,000 gallons; select capacity with actual chlorine demand in mind.
• Provides a replacement-cell option when a compatible system’s existing T-CELL-15 has reached the end of its service life.
• Helps retain a functioning control system when diagnosis confirms that only the cell requires replacement.
• Exact W3T-CELL-15 identification helps you check the controller, cell setting and existing installation before ordering.

Quick Product Summary

The Hayward TurboCell W3T-CELL-15 is a replacement salt chlorination cell rated for pools up to 40,000 gallons. It produces chlorine from dissolved salt as part of a compatible Hayward system, including supported AquaRite installations. Choose it when a service assessment confirms the need for a replacement cell, and verify your controller model, existing cell label and required configuration before purchase.

Best For

Pool owners and service technicians replacing a worn T-CELL-15 in a compatible salt chlorination system. It is also an option for a supported cell-capacity change after checking controller configuration and the pool’s chlorination requirements.

Why This Matters

• Replacing the correct component can avoid buying a complete chlorination system when the controller is still serviceable.
• Cell identification matters: pool volume alone does not establish that a replacement will work with your controller.
• Correct configuration helps the controller interpret the installed cell properly instead of producing misleading readings or operating incorrectly.

Common Signs You Need This / Use This When

• Use this replacement when inspection and testing identify a failed or exhausted compatible T-CELL-15.
• Consider it when a professional recommends a supported cell-capacity change for your existing controller.
• Have persistent low-chlorine performance or cell alerts diagnosed before purchasing; water conditions, flow, settings and other equipment faults can also affect operation.
• If the existing cell is serviceable and only needs manufacturer-approved maintenance, a replacement may not be necessary.

Product Specifications

Compatibility / Fitment Notes

Check the controller model and the label on the cell being removed before ordering. Hayward’s T-CELL-15 configuration guide identifies AquaRite, AquaRite Pro and specific Pro Logic controllers, with setup requirements that vary by controller generation. On supported configurable controllers, the selected cell type must match T-CELL-15; the manual may display that setting as t-15.

A change from another cell size needs a separate compatibility check. Do not assume that shared branding, a similar plug or a 40,000-gallon rating makes a cell interchangeable. Match the existing plumbing connections and installation requirements as well as the controller. If the controller label or current cell identification is unclear, resolve those details before purchase.

This product is a replacement chlorination cell. A pool that does not already have a compatible salt system needs the appropriate complete system and installation components. The cell alone does not convert a conventional chlorine pool into a functioning salt chlorination system.

Installation / Use Notes

Have a qualified pool professional confirm compatibility and diagnose the existing system before replacement. Follow the Hayward instructions for the exact cell and controller during installation and setup. Verify the selected cell type where required and check system operation after installation. Continue routine water testing and follow the manufacturer’s cell inspection and maintenance guidance; replacing the cell does not replace ongoing water care.

Buy with Confidence

Order the Hayward TurboCell W3T-CELL-15 from Benchmark Pool Supply with the product identity and replacement requirements clearly defined. Have your controller model, current cell number and any diagnostic messages ready when requesting selection help, so the replacement can be checked against your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is W3T-CELL-15 a complete salt chlorination system?

No. It is a replacement TurboCell for a compatible existing system. A pool without a compatible controller needs a complete salt chlorination system and the appropriate installation components.

Which systems can use the Hayward W3T-CELL-15?

Hayward documents T-CELL-15 use with AquaRite, AquaRite Pro and specified Pro Logic controllers. Confirm the exact controller model and its cell requirements before ordering; it is not a universal salt-cell replacement.

What pool size is this salt cell rated for?

The T-CELL-15 is rated for pools up to 40,000 gallons. Have the cell capacity assessed against pool volume and actual chlorine demand rather than assuming the gallon rating guarantees performance in every installation.

Does the controller need a new cell-type setting?

Some controllers require configuration to match T-CELL-15, shown as t-15 on applicable AquaRite displays. Requirements depend on the controller and the cell being replaced; follow the model-specific Hayward instructions.

Will replacing the cell fix low chlorine or a cell warning?

Only if the cell is the cause. Water conditions, flow, settings or other equipment faults can also affect chlorination. Have the system diagnosed before replacing the cell solely because of a warning or low chlorine reading.
