The Hayward GLX-CELL-5 / T-CELL-5 Replacement Salt Cell is a genuine Hayward TurboCell®, engineered for above-ground and inground pool salt systems up to 20,000 gallons. As the chlorine-generating core of the system, this OEM cell converts dissolved pool salt into a steady supply of chlorine—eliminating daily chemical handling while delivering consistently clean, clear water.

Recognized as the world’s #1 salt chlorination cell, Hayward TurboCells are independently tested and proven to last longer than imitation salt cells. Designed and approved specifically for use with Hayward salt systems, the GLX-CELL-5 delivers reliable performance that only a genuine Hayward cell can provide.

Compared to conventional chlorine, salt chlorination can deliver savings of 50% or more over time, while the GLX-CELL-5 provides exceptional value by producing up to twice as much chlorine as non-OEM replacement cells. Built with Hayward’s proven reverse polarity self-cleaning technology, this cell helps reduce calcium scale buildup and maintain efficient chlorine output throughout the swimming season.

Whether you’re replacing a worn cell or restoring proper sanitizer performance, the GLX-CELL-5 / T-CELL-5 ensures long-term reliability, superior chlorine production, and the soft-water swimming experience Hayward is known for.
