TurboCell S3 In Ground Pool Sanitizers

(New Menu Setting May Be Required)
TurboCell S3 chlorinator cells can be used to replace older TurboCell models but changes to the chlorinator may be required. Refer to the table below to cross-reference TurboCell S3 models to older models. Use this cross-referenced model when configuring the chlorinator. If your chlorinator does not offer the cross-referenced selection, do not use the TurboCell S3. Incorrect configuration will cause inaccurate salt readings, improper operation, and possible system shutdown.

TurboCell S3 model| Choose this selection in the chlorinator’s
menu if your model is not offered| Pool (Gallons)| Pool (Liters)
---|---|---|---
TCELLS340, TCELLS340W| t-15 or T-CELL-15| 40,000| 151,400
TCELLS325, TCELLS325W| t-9 or T-CELL-9| 25,000| 94,600
TCELLS318, TCELLS318W| t-5 or T-CELL-5| 18,000| 68,100

** IMPORTANT INFORMATION **
Regarding Extended Pool Filtration cycles and Low Flow Rate conditions

THE AMOUNT OF CHLORINE PRODUCED BY YOUR HAYWARD SALT CHLORINE GENERATING SYSTEM IS DEPENDENT ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT YOUR FILTER PUMP RUNS EVERY DAY. SO, YOUR CHLORINATION SETTING SHOULD BE MATCHED TO THE FILTER PUMP RUN TIME OF YOUR POOL.
If you plan to INCREASE or DECREASE the filter pump cycle on your pool, be sure to adjust the chlorination setting on your chlorinator to compensate for the change in total chlorine production. By properly adjusting your setting, you are preventing the over-chlorination or under-chlorination of your pool.
For example, If you plan on doubling the filter pump operating time (say from 8 hours/day to 16 hours/day), then reduce your chlorination setting by a factor of 2 (say from 50% to 25%). If you plan to triple your filter pump operating time, then reduce your chlorination setting by a factor of 3. Likewise, if you reduce your filter pump operating time (say from 12 hours/day to 8 hours/day), then increase your chlorination setting by a factor of 1.5 (i.e. 12/8=1.5)
These adjustments, while necessary and important, are APPROXIMATIONS to the actual adjustment your pool requires. After any chlorination adjustment, monitor the pool’s chlorine level closely for 1-2 weeks. If the readings stabilize in the 1-3 ppm range then you are all set, otherwise make another small adjustment (up or down) to increase or decrease the chlorine level. Once the chlorinator is set, it is good practice to check your chlorine levels weekly to ensure the operation is normal.
When using 2-speed or variable-speed pumps on low speed, check to be sure your salt cell is receiving adequate flow. Low flow conditions can result in insufficient water in the cell causing inefficient chlorine production. As a precaution, the cell can be installed vertically to keep it flooded with water. These are the desired installation configurations when using 2-speed or variable-speed pumps.
