Circupool vs Hayward vs ??

[aceniza]

I swear I searched up and down and couldn't find anything conclusive...

Looks like I need a new T-15... Before I bite the bullet on a Hayward, I was wondering if the Circupool or Simple Cell, or anything else, are viable replacements?

Looking at quality and longevity. I've read that Hayward warranties can be a little wonky if you are self-installing, I don't know if that includes the cell as well.

Generic cells work fine in some peoples system and others have problems getting them to work.

It seems like generic cells do not last as long as a genuine cell but it is hard to tell.

You pay your money and take your chances with a generic cell.

There are Hayward cells being sold with 1 year, 3 year, and 4 year warranties. The first digit of the serial number is the years of warranty for that cell.

Hayward cells can be self installed.

thanks again for your help, especially yesterday. Without that I would have gotten a 3rd t-3
