Hayward AquaRite 900 Salt System - 3 Year Warranty

Salt Chlorination System with Extended-Life Cell for Pools up to 40,000 Gallons

Ditch the bleach buckets—AquaRite 900 turns pool salt into a steady flow of pure chlorine and scrubs its own cell every few hours. The AQR940 combines Hayward’s industry-leading control box with a heavy-duty, ruthenium-coated titanium cell rated for 15,000 hours of run time, giving you 3–5× the lifespan of a standard cell. High-output salt chlorination with a cell that outlasts the competition—so you swap hardware less often and cannonball more frequently.

How It Works

  • Salt → Sanitizer: Dissolved pool salt (2,700–3,400 ppm) flows over ruthenium-coated plates. A low-voltage current converts it into hypochlorous acid (pure chlorine) on demand—no jugs, no mess.
  • Auto-Reversal Self-Clean: Every 2 hours, the cell flips polarity and sheds scale buildup automatically. That means longer cycles, minimal maintenance, and no tank drops.
  • Smart Salt Sensing: Built-in probe monitors salt concentration in real time—no more guesswork with test strips.

Key features and operational notes for the Hayward® AquaRite® 900 Salt System (AQR940):

  • High-Capacity Output: Delivers up to 2.5 lb/day of chlorine for pools up to 40,000 gal—perfect for large residential or light commercial settings.
  • Extended-Life Cell: The included cell is rated for up to 15,000 hours of operation—potentially 3–5 times the life of standard cells, saving you replacement costs and downtime.
  • LED Status Display: Glance-and-go lights on the control box provide immediate feedback for Power, Salt OK, Self-Clean cycle, and Service Alert.
  • 2″ Union Connections: Snap-on fittings allow for hassle-free plumbing with standard PVC or flex-hose.
  • Weather-Resistant Enclosure: The NEMA 4X–rated control box is built to stand up to sun, rain, and pool-party chaos.
  • Optional pH-Ready Port: Offers the ability to integrate an optional pH sensor and dispensing system for fully automated chemistry control (pH sensor and related equipment sold separately).
  • Smart Control Compatibility: Can integrate with Hayward’s OmniLogic® or OmniPL™ automation systems for remote monitoring and advanced control features.
