Hayward S3 Salt Generator OMNI Systems
The AquaRite S3 Omni is the complete smart pool system — combining Hayward's industry-leading salt chlorination with the full power of Omni® automation in a single unit. Control your pump, heater, lighting, chemistry, and more from anywhere using the OmniLogic® app. Future-proof by design: start with salt chlorination and expand your automation at any time as your system grows.
Full Remote Access
Monitor and control your entire pool pad from your phone or tablet via the OmniLogic® app — from anywhere with a Wi-Fi or data connection.
Voice Control
Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home — turn the heater on, adjust pump speed, or switch on pool lights with a voice command.
Advanced Scheduling
Set fully custom schedules for your heater, pump, lights, and cleaners — automate the pool around your life rather than managing it manually each day.
Total Pad Control
Manage up to 3 variable-speed pumps, 2 heaters, ColorLogic® lighting, valve actuators for spa mode, chemistry sensing, and an acid feed system — all from one controller.
LCD Color Display
Built-in color display provides on-pad control of chlorine output, heater settings, and variable-speed pump speed — full visibility without pulling out your phone.
Clear T-CELL-S3 Inspection Cell
Includes the next-generation S3 cell with transparent housing — inspect the titanium plates for calcium buildup at a glance without removing the cell from the plumbing.
Broad Salt Range — 800 to 8,000 PPM
Operates across a wide salt level range, giving the system flexibility to maintain chlorination even when salt levels drift between service visits.
Spa Mode with Valve Control
Valve ports allow the system to automatically switch your plumbing to Spa mode — with GVA-24 automatic actuators (sold separately) installed, mode changes happen with one tap in the app.
ColorLogic® Lighting Control
OmniDirect Mode™ allows direct control of Hayward ColorLogic® LED lighting from within the OmniLogic® app — change colors and themes without a separate controller.
pH & ORP Chemistry Sensing
Optional pH and ORP probes (sold separately) connect directly to the S3 Omni — monitor your water chemistry in real time from the app and automate acid feed dosing when equipped.
Pool Cover & Freeze Detection
Pool cover detect capabilities protect against operating the system with a cover on. Add an air temperature sensor for automated freeze protection — critical for NEPA's shoulder seasons.
Future-Proof & Expandable
Add smart relays, chemistry probes, Wi-Fi connectivity, acid feed systems, and more at any time — the S3 Omni grows with your pool rather than requiring a full controller replacement.
AquaRite S3 Omni
Built-in Wi-Fi and full OmniLogic® app control. Voice control via Alexa and Google Home. Advanced scheduling and remote access. Controls pumps, heaters, lighting, chemistry, and spa valves. Best for new builds, full pad upgrades, or homeowners who want smartphone control of every pool function.
Standard AquaRite S3
Salt chlorination without built-in automation. Upgradeable to Omni automation separately. LCD display and local pad control included. Lower upfront cost. Best for owners who want great water quality without the full smart home integration. See our Standard S3 page for details.
Wi-Fi or Ethernet
Requires a reliable 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal or Ethernet connection at the equipment pad. The controller includes a 15 ft wireless radio cord for optimal signal placement.
Variable Speed Pump
Hayward VSPs connect natively via RS-485 digital connection. Pentair VSPs require a separate converter kit. Single-speed pumps require a Hayward Smart Relay (HLH485RELAY, sold separately).
Temperature Sensors
A water temperature sensor is required for heater control and is often sold separately. An air temperature sensor is needed for freeze protection automation — ask us about including both at installation.
Genuine S3 Cells Only
Compatible exclusively with genuine Hayward T-CELL-S3 series cells (S315, S325, S350). Non-genuine cells can damage the controller board and void all warranty coverage.
