USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

3

The AquaRite S3 is offered in three models with the AQRS340 designed to handle the purification 

needs of most residential swimming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or most commercial 

pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters).  Check local codes for other restrictions. The actual amount 

of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, 

and the pool’s cleanliness.

Use the proper AquaRite S3 model for your pool (installation and mounting requirements are the 

same for all models):

AQRS340 - for pools up to 40,000 gallons

AQRS325 - for pools up to 25,000 gallons

AQRS315 - for pools up to 15,000 gallons

AquaRite S3 Electronics Unit

 

Flow Switch

 

Electrolytic Cell

What’s NOT Included

Some of the additional items that you may need to complete an installation include:

 

Wire/conduit for 115 VAC or 230 VAC connection from the main panel to AquaRite S3

 

Wire/conduit for filter pump

 

Wire for remote heater control

 

Hayward Smart Relay - required for single speed filter pump control

 

Temperature sensors (water sensor necessary for heater control, air sensor needed for recir-

culation freeze control) 

 

Mounting hardware (screws, bolts, etc.) for mounting AquaRite S3

 

Tools and PVC glue for installing the TurboCell and flow switch

NOTE: Hayward does not recommend using the AquaRite S3 to generate bromine.

NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in a pool or spa us-

ing natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, a qualified stone installation 

specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriate type, installation, sealant (if any) and main-

tenance of stone used around a saline pool with an electronic chlorine generator in your particular 

location and circumstances.   

NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged especially in arid 

regions where pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is not commonly diluted with fresh 

water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products that can damage your chlorinator cell.
