The lower end attaches using 2\" rigid PVC pipe or 1.5\" to 1.25\" flexible hose. No flow switch is needed because the return jet position allows gases produced during chlorination to dissipate naturally. The HP (hose\/pipe) model installs the cell in-line on the external return hose and includes a flow switch. Both produce identical chlorine output and cover the same pool volume. The RJ is preferred when the external plumbing is rigid or when a lower-profile installation is desired; the HP suits pools where cutting into the return hose is simpler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"note\"\u003eBefore purchasing, confirm your pool wall return jet opening accepts standard 1.5-inch AquaTrol fittings. Intex pools use proprietary non-standard fittings and typically require the hose\/pipe model instead.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward AquaTrol W3AQ-TROL-RJ Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"spec-list\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eW3AQ-TROL-RJ\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003ePool Coverage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eUp to 18,000 gallons\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCell Installation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eReturn jet; installs vertically below pool wall return jet; no flow switch required\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003ePlug Type\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eStandard straight blade, 115V; for GFCI-protected outdoor outlets\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eVoltage \/ Amperage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e115V \/ 15A\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eDiagnostics\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e7 LED indicators: Power, Generating, Super Chlorinate, No Flow, Test Salt Level, High Salt, Inspect Cell\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003ePump Timer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eBuilt-in 24-hour timer; multiple pump periods per day\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCell\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eTurboCell (T-CELL-5); titanium electrodes; right-angle mounting adapter included\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eSalt Level\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e2,700 to 3,400 ppm recommended\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCell Cleaning\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eAutomatic reverse polarity\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eIncludes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eControl box, TurboCell (T-CELL-5), right-angle mounting adapter, union connections, return jet adapters\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eAbove ground pools\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCertification\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eUL Listed\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e1-year limited; professional installation recommended or warranty may be void\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes the RJ model need a flow switch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNo. The return jet mounting position allows gases produced during chlorination to dissipate naturally upward into the pool, so no flow switch is required. The HP (hose\/pipe) model does include a flow switch because the in-line horizontal installation needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCan I use this on a pool with two return jets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eInstall the cell at the primary return jet handling the majority of pump flow. On pools where flow is split equally between two returns, the hose\/pipe model installed in-line on the main return hose before the split delivers more consistent cell performance by keeping full pump flow through the cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eIs this compatible with an Intex pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eGenerally no. Intex pools use proprietary wall fittings with non-standard thread dimensions. The return jet model does not install directly on most Intex pools without a separate adapter. The hose\/pipe model is the more practical choice for Intex pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the RJ and RJ-TL models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIdentical in every way except the power cord. The W3AQ-TROL-RJ has a standard straight blade cord for GFCI-protected 115V outlets. The W3AQ-TROL-RJ-TL has a twist lock cord for locking 115V outlets.
