Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This is a high-quality generic replacement salt cell. It is manufactured by our state-of-the-art facility to strictly match the specifications, output, and thread sizes of the original Hayward® T-CELL-3 / T3, offering identical performance at a more affordable price point.
With proper water chemistry and regular maintenance, our premium titanium salt cells are designed to last between 3 to 5 years (approximately 10,000 operational hours), which is on par with industry-leading OEM cells.
No special recalibration is needed if you are replacing an existing T-CELL-3 & T3. Simply plug it into the control panel. Just ensure your system is set to the correct cell type (T-CELL-3 & T3) in the settings menu.
Thanks to our clear housing design, you can easily conduct a visual inspection of the titanium plates for any obvious wear or damage. If your pool's chlorine levels remain consistently low, or if the "Inspect Cell" or "Low Salt" indicators stay illuminated on your control board even after a thorough acid wash, it is time to replace your failing T-CELL-3 & T3 with the Century CT-TC3.
