What you may not know is that we have a new option for both complete salt systems and replacement cells – the CaliMar brand. CaliMar offers its own line of full systems as well as generic replacement cells for an expanding number of systems from established manufacturers. We’re proud to carry these new products, as they have stood up to rigorous testing and represent a more economical option than other available models.
A prime example is CaliMar’s line of generic replacements for Hayward's venerable T-CELL series. The new CaliMar models are direct replacements for the T-CELL-3, T-CELL-9 and T-CELL-15 in Hayward’s AquaRite, Aqua Plus and Aqua Logic salt systems. T-CELLs are among the most popular items that we carry, which means that Hayward systems have a firmly established presence in the saltwater industry - and our customers expect us to help keep them performing at their best.
With that expectation in mind, we thought we’d compare the Hayward T-CELL-15 to its CaliMar equivalent, the CMARCHA15-2Y:

As you can see, the CaliMar replacement has the same advantages that the T-CELL-15 enjoys, including complete compatibility with all Hayward systems and the ability to replace the T-CELL-3 and the T-CELL-9. It also generates every bit as much chlorine, so it can handle virtually any residential pool easily. Plus, it has the exact same measurements and same cord connection of the T-CELL-15, meaning it’s a perfect in-line replacement in all Hayward systems.
Best of all, of course, is the price. The CMARCHA40-2Y costs significantly less than the T-CELL-15.
Another major advantage, which applies to all CaliMar products, is that warranty claims are handled through Pool Supply Unlimited. Hayward handles T-CELL-15 claims directly, which can greatly slow down the process. Their priority, as many of our customers have discovered, is making products, not fixing or replacing them. If you have a problem with any CaliMar model, just give us a call and we’ll take care of everything for you.
We know that the same solution doesn’t always work for
everyone. That’s why our priority is to always provide the best alternatives on
the market to our customers and let them decide what makes the most sense for
them.
We’re happy to have CaliMar as a more economical option for customers while they still receive the best possible quality and reliability, and we’re confident that as you get more familiar with these salt chlorination products, you’ll understand why. Let us know any questions you may have about CaliMar or saltwater pools and spas in general.
