Pros & Cons
Cons
It is either a knock off or a manufacturers defect. The problem has been confirmed by two local leslie's shops. When you click on the warranty details it says only a 1 year warranty.
It's a shame that hayward has allowed their name to be sullied by substandard products. Customer service is ridiculous for such an expensive item. It's beyond frustrating.
After 3 days of almost no chlorine in the pool, we uninstalled this new unit and took it to our local pool equipment supplier to test. This cell is not adequate for a 15,000 gallon pool.
Highlights
Quality
I am happy with the decision to buy and replace myself.
The product does as it says it will.
I bought the product in june 2020, and thought that hayward salt cell products had 3 year warranty's based on hayward's web site.
There is a massive price spread on this product.
Price
Unit price is pretty much average, with some local pool store charging more.
Don’t even get me started on the cost of the pool light….
After a lot of price checking as usual i end up buying it here.
Competitiveness
I bought a generic 2 yrs ago because of a big price difference!
I bought other off-brand cells which failed quickly or didn't work at all.
For a few hundred dollars more, i was able to buy one from a chain pool supply company that comes with a 4-year guarantee.
