Differential Faddeev equations in total angular momentum representation are used for the first time to investigate ultra-low energy elastic scattering of a helium atom on a helium dimer. Six potential models of interatomic interaction are investigated. The results improve and extend the Faddeev equations based results known in literature. The employed method can be applied to investigation of different elastic and inelastic processes in three- and four-atomic weakly bounded systems below three-body threshold.
