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 AQR925 Extended-Life Cell cranks out sanitation power and lives three to five times longer than standard cells, so you’re not swapping hardware every season. Enjoy consistently clear and soft water with minimal effort.
How It Works
- Salt In → Chlorine Out: Dissolved pool salt passes over ruthenium-coated titanium plates, where a low-voltage current converts it into hypochlorous acid (aka free chlorine).
- Auto-Reversal Self-Clean: Every ~2 hours the cell flips polarity—shedding scale buildup so you get longer cycles and minimal maintenance.
- Built-In Salt-Level Sensor: Monitors your salt concentration—no more guesswork or test-strip drama.
Key features and operational notes for the Hayward® AquaRite® 900 Salt System (AQR925):
- High-Capacity Output: Delivers up to 2.5 lb/day of chlorine, effectively sanitizing pools as large as 40,000 gallons, preventing under-sanitizing or over-bleaching.
- Extended-Life Cell: The included T-Cell-15-Extended Life (or equivalent) is rated for up to 15,000 hours of operation under normal conditions, potentially 3–5 times the lifespan of a standard cell.
- Integrated pH-Ready Port: Offers an optional pH sensor hookup (sensor and dispensing equipment sold separately) to help maintain balanced chemistry automatically when integrated with compatible automation.
- LED Status Display: Intuitive lights on the control box for Power, Salt OK, Self-Clean cycle, and Service Alerts provide glance-and-go peace of mind.
- Easy Plumbing: Features 2″ union connections for straightforward installation with standard PVC or flex-hose plumbing.
- Weather-Resistant Enclosure: The NEMA 4X–rated control box is built to withstand rain, sun, and typical poolside conditions.
- Smart Control Compatibility: Can be integrated with Hayward automation systems (like OmniLogic® or OmniHub®) for advanced control, scheduling, and remote access via smartphone app.
