Zodiac LM3-15 Chlorinator Cell / Electrode - Genuine or Generic
🏷️ Brand
Zodiac (genuine) / Generic option available
đź“ť Description
The Zodiac LM3-15 electrode (W196564) is the replacement salt cell for Zodiac Clearwater LM3-15 chlorinators, rated at 15 g/h. It is a reverse-polarity, self-cleaning electrode that fits into your existing LM3 cell housing.
The genuine Zodiac electrode (W196564) is supplied with a new internal floating adaptor. The generic is an aftermarket electrode (LM3-15-G) made to suit Zodiac Clearwater LM3-15 chlorinators.
When a salt cell wears out, chlorine output drops and the chlorinator will typically show a low-output or low-salt warning. To check whether it's the cell or just your salt level, get your water's salt level tested first. Replacing just the electrode restores chlorine production without buying a whole new chlorinator.
📦 Parts Included
- 1x Zodiac LM3-15 electrode (Genuine W196564 or Generic LM3-15-G, depending on the option chosen)
- 1x internal floating adaptor (Genuine option only)
