Hayward W3SAS-CELL Salt & Swim 3C Replacement Salt Cell for In-Ground Pools to 30,000 Gallons
Replacement cell for the Salt & Swim 3C.
The Hayward W3SAS-CELL is the replacement salt cell for the Salt & Swim 3C chlorine generator, which Hayward makes for in-ground pools up to 30,000 gallons. Hayward's manual says the replaceable cell is designed to produce 200 lbs of 100% available chlorine over its lifetime.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Made for the Salt & Swim 3C
Hayward lists the W3SAS-CELL in its Salt & Swim series with the SAS-CELL servicing guide and cell instructions. It is the replaceable electrolytic cell in the Salt & Swim 3C.
200 lb Design Output
Hayward says the cell is designed to produce 200 lbs of 100% available chlorine over its lifetime.
Turbo Cell Self-Cleaning
The cell uses the same electronic self-cleaning technology as the Hayward Turbo Cell. In hard water or out-of-balance pools it may still need periodic cleaning.
Cell Life Warning Light
The Salt & Swim 3C lights its CELL LIFE LOW indicator when the cell has reached the end of its life, and Hayward says to replace it as soon as possible.
Simple Cell Swap
Hayward's instructions: remove the retaining nut and cell cap, slide out the old cell, slide in the new one, plug the cap back in and hand-tighten the nut.
Skip Dry Acid
Hayward discourages dry acid (sodium bisulfate) for pH adjustment, since the by-products can build up and damage your chlorinator cell.
Use and Service Notice
Hayward says the Salt & Swim 3C is for in-ground pools up to 30,000 gallons only, not above-ground pools or larger in-ground pools. Before changing the cell, remove power to the filter pump and unplug the control box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the W3SAS-CELL fit?
It is the replacement cell for the Hayward Salt & Swim 3C. Hayward says the 3C is for in-ground pools up to 30,000 gallons and is not to be used with above-ground pools or larger in-ground pools.
How do I change the cell?
Per Hayward: remove power to the filter pump and unplug the control box, then remove the retaining nut, unplug the cell cap and take out the old cell. Slide in the new cell, plug the cap in and hand-tighten the nut. Run the pump about 5 minutes and check for leaks before you plug the control box back in.
Do I have to calibrate anything after a new cell?
Yes. When a new cell is installed, the Salt & Swim 3C runs a one-time flow switch calibration. You run the filter pump at full flow for at least 15 seconds, then turn it off for 15 seconds.
How do I know when the cell is spent?
The CELL LIFE LOW light on the Salt & Swim 3C comes on when the cell has reached the end of its life. Hayward says to replace it as soon as possible.
Can the cell be cleaned?
Hayward says scale can be flushed off with a high-pressure garden hose or scraped with a plastic or wood tool, never metal. A mild acid wash is only for severe cases where flushing and scraping do not work.
