Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

There is 220 volts power on the chlorinator even when the pump is off. Swimming in the pool is so much nicer than chlorine. I buy the t 15 for 40,000 gal pools.

The installation is easy enough if refitting pvc and wiring are both in your skill set. Great price and a no hassle diy install. The salt cell itself is basically plug and play.

A tip to make the hayward last longer buy oversize. The salt reading on the digital salt meter and the hayward are very close. I have a 3-year warranty on the hayward, which is also reassuring.

Good and solid product. Works like a champ! Installed today. Works great once installed, just add salt.



Cons

Hayward refuses to honor their warranty and send replacement parts. It is the most infuriating level of customer service i have ever experienced. Seller needs to respond to the problem with this product.

Save your money & steer away from this system. As of today, should of gone the simpler route.

This is the 2nd unit i bought as i returned the 1st one due to display not powering on. The only way to reset it is to turn it off manually.

I bought this product when i switched to saltwater.


I ordered this unit however prior to the order i could not find out from any calls (hayward included) what would come with the ...  Read More


Others tried to talk me into getting the cheaper ones but we had such good luck with the first one i decided to go with hayward again.

Price


Amazon's price was good so i pulled the trigger - delivered in 5 days!


Difference in costs chlorine chemicals cost me $1,000 per yr.


But v/s the cost you save on chlorine, the investment justifies it.

Packaging/appearance


Comes with everything you need and is ready to go out of the box.


The workaround was to put an external timer on the chlorinator.

Competitiveness


I have a 3-year warranty on the hayward, which is also reassuring.


Installed this on an 18,500 gallon pool.


Purchased a cheaper brand first thru amazon and it came grossly damaged from the manufacturer.


I upsized mine since i have a 24000 gallon pool and didn't want the cell running at 100% the whole time.
