A low-voltage DC current from the AquaRite controller passes through coated titanium blades, splitting dissolved sodium chloride into hypochlorous acid (active chlorine) and sodium hydroxide. The chlorine disperses through the pool via the return jets, sanitizing the water. After doing its work, the chlorine converts back to salt and the cycle repeats with each pump run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eBecause the salt is not consumed in this process, only small periodic top-ups are needed to replace what leaves through splash-out, backwashing, and rainfall dilution.

Periodic manual acid washing when scale is visible, combined with the automatic reverse-polarity self-cleaning, helps maximize electrode life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow do I manually clean the W3T-CELL-3 electrode blades?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRemove the cell from the plumbing and inspect the blades for white calcium deposits. If scale is present, soak the electrode end in a diluted muriatic acid solution (4 parts water to 1 part acid) for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Never use metal tools or abrasives on the electrode blades; scratching the coating shortens cell life.

It is not compatible with Pentair, Jandy, Zodiac, or other third-party salt system controllers.

The W3T-CELL-3 and W3T-CELL-9 require AquaRite software revision 1.5 or newer (AquaLogic revision 4.2 or newer), which became standard starting in 2009. Older systems may need a firmware update or are best paired with the W3T-CELL-15, which is compatible with earlier software revisions. Check your controller's diagnostic display for its software revision before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow long does the W3T-CELL-9 typically last?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eUnder normal operating conditions (proper salt levels, balanced water chemistry, regular monitoring) a TurboCell typically lasts several seasons. Running the cell at 100% output continuously due to undersizing, poor water chemistry, or excessive bather load shortens its lifespan. Periodic manual acid washing when scale is visible, combined with the automatic reverse-polarity self-cleaning, helps maximize electrode life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow do I manually clean the W3T-CELL-9 electrode blades?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRemove the cell from the plumbing and inspect the blades for white calcium deposits. If scale is present, soak the electrode end in a diluted muriatic acid solution (4 parts water to 1 part acid) for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Never use metal tools or abrasives on the electrode blades; scratching the coating shortens cell life. Manual cleaning is typically needed once per season or whenever the controller reports reduced output despite proper salt levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat salt type should I use with the W3T-CELL-9?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eUse high-purity sodium chloride (NaCl) at 99.8% purity or better: pool salt, evaporated granulated salt, or non-iodized food-grade salt. Avoid iodized salt, potassium chloride, rock salt with organic debris, and salts containing anti-caking agents such as sodium ferrocyanide.

A low-voltage DC current from the AquaRite controller passes through coated titanium blades, splitting dissolved sodium chloride into hypochlorous acid (active chlorine) and sodium hydroxide. The chlorine disperses through the pool via the return jets, sanitizing the water. After doing its work, the chlorine converts back to salt and the cycle repeats with each pump run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eBecause the salt is not consumed in this process, only small periodic top-ups are needed to replace what leaves through splash-out, backwashing, and rainfall dilution.

If scale is present, soak the electrode end in a diluted muriatic acid solution (4 parts water to 1 part acid) for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.

The W3GLX-CELL-5 is the current production replacement for the discontinued T-CELL-5 and GLX-CELL-5. When swapping one of those cells, no controller reconfiguration is needed. The cell uses the same plumbing unions and cord connector as the models it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes the W3GLX-CELL-5 require controller reconfiguration?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt depends on the existing setup. No reconfiguration is needed when replacing an existing T-CELL-5 or GLX-CELL-5. Reconfiguration is required when installing this cell into an AquaRite (firmware 1.5+), AquaRite Pro, AquaPlus, or ProLogic system that previously used a different cell type. Skipping this step causes inaccurate salt readings and possible system shutdown. The configuration procedure is detailed in your controller's owner's manual under the GLX-CELL-5 section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the W3GLX-CELL-5 compatible with in-ground pools?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. Although the GLX-CELL-5 line was originally designed for AquaTrol above-ground systems, the W3GLX-CELL-5 works equally well with in-ground pools when paired with a supported Hayward controller. Verify your controller model is on the compatibility list before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow does the W3GLX-CELL-5 differ from the W3T-CELL-9?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBoth cover pools larger than 15,000 gallons, but they are different product lines. The W3GLX-CELL-5 covers up to 20,000 gallons and originated in the AquaTrol above-ground line, requiring controller configuration in some AquaRite setups. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nonstopswim.com\/products\/hayward-turbocell-salt-chlorination-cell-25-000-gallons\"\u003eW3T-CELL-9\u003c\/a\u003e covers up to 25,000 gallons and is a plug-in replacement in AquaRite systems (firmware 1.5+ required). If your pool is between 20,000 and 25,000 gallons, the W3T-CELL-9 is generally the simpler choice for AquaRite installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow do I manually clean the W3GLX-CELL-5 electrode blades?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRemove the cell from the plumbing and inspect the blades for white calcium deposits. Soak the electrode end in a diluted muriatic acid solution (4 parts water to 1 part acid) for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Never use metal tools or abrasives on the electrode blades. Manual cleaning is typically needed once per season or when the controller reports reduced output despite proper salt levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat salt type should I use with the W3GLX-CELL-5?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eUse high-purity sodium chloride (NaCl) at 99.8% purity or better: pool salt, evaporated granulated salt, or non-iodized food-grade salt. Avoid iodized salt, potassium chloride, rock salt with organic debris, and salts containing anti-caking agents such as sodium ferrocyanide. Most pool supply retailers stock appropriate pool-grade salt in 40 to 50 lb bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward W3GLX-CELL-5 TurboCell Documentation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"doc-links\"\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n        \u003ca href=\"\/docs\/hayward-turbocell-w3glx-cell-5-installation-guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\n          Hayward TurboCell W3GLX-CELL-5 Installation Guide\n        \u003c\/a\u003e\n      \u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n        \u003ca href=\"\/docs\/hayward-aquatrol-salt-chlorination-system-owners-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\n          Hayward AquaTrol Salt System Owner's Manual\n        \u003c\/a\u003e\n      \u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n  \"@type\": \"Product\",\n  \"name\": \"Hayward TurboCell Salt Chlorination Cell 20,000 Gallon | W3GLX-CELL-5\",\n  \"description\": \"The Hayward TurboCell W3GLX-CELL-5 is a genuine OEM replacement salt chlorination cell for pools up to 20,000 gallons.
