Hayward Aquarite S3

Hayward Aquarite Models

As of 2023, Hayward has three Aquarite models:

  • Aquarite - the basic system with a control panel and SWG cell
  • Aquarite S3 combines the SWG with the ability to control a heater and a variable-speed pump via the on-unit display. It can be upgraded to S3 Omni if desired.
  • Aquarite S3 Omni - all the Aquarite S3 features, complete control of virtually any pool feature, and gives you remote app control.

Hayward OmniLogic, Hayward OmniPL, and Omni Hub automation panels can also control Aquarite cells and have bundles with the Aquarite cell included.

Aquarite S3 models do not have Load Centers, while the OmniLogic and OmniPL do.

Aquarite S3 Features

  • Can generate chlorine using a broad range of salt concentrations from 1200 PPM to 8000 PPM
  • Can control and schedule a Hayward Variable Speed (VSP) pump using the internal RS-485 connection, a Pentair VSP using a Hayward HLPMPCONV converter (sold separately), or a single speed pump using a Hayward Smart Relay (sold separately)
  • Can control a gas heater, heat pump, or any other heater that uses a low voltage on/off remote connection (requires Hayward water temperature sensor sold separately)
  • Inputs for water and air temperature sensors (temperature sensors sold separately)
  • Connection for flow switch used to detect water flow (flow switch sold separately)
  • Connection for pool cover detection (lowers chlorine production when the pool is covered)
  • Can be powered by either 115 or 230 VAC
  • Offers recirculation freeze control, which turns on the filter pump automatically to prevent freezing (requires Hayward air temperature sensor sold separately)

Aquarite S3 PCB Layout

The Aquarite S3 PCB layout is different than the Aquarite SWG. It does not have some of the components that have been troublesome in the Aquarite like the thermistor and the K1 and K2 relays.

Aquarite S3 Cells

The Aquarite S3 only supports the "S3" family of cells. Hayward older model T-cells or clone cells will not work with the system.

Aquarite S3 Diagnostics

Diagnostics are displayed on the S3 screen.
