Temperature Sensor Kit
Product Overview
The standard specification for restoring accurate temperature readings on Hayward AquaLogic and AquaRite systems.
When your saltwater chlorinator stops generating due to incorrect temperature readings, the Hayward GLX-PC-12-KIT is the exact OEM replacement pool techs reach for. This kit features a 15-foot lead wire and a durable hose clamp, ensuring a secure fit and precise thermistor calibration. Using this genuine Hayward PC-12-KIT prevents diagnostic errors and keeps your AquaLogic or AquaRite system running at peak efficiency.

- Hayward ProLogic Automation Systems
- Hayward AquaRite Salt Chlorine Generators
- Hayward AquaPlus All-in-One Control Systems
When To Use This
Pro Tip
When routing the 15-foot sensor wire back to the control panel, avoid running it parallel to high-voltage conduit. Electromagnetic interference from pumps or heaters can distort the low-voltage resistance signal, causing erratic temperature readings on your display. In regions with hard water, periodically check the sensor tip for mineral scale buildup, which can insulate the sensor and cause sluggish readings.
Common Questions & Instructions
How do I know if my Hayward temperature sensor needs to be replaced?
If your AquaLogic or AquaRite display shows an extremely high, low, or erratic temperature reading (such as 99°F or 32°F when the water is mild), or if the system displays a 'Check System' light with a temperature-related error, the sensor thermistor inside the PC-12-KIT has likely failed and needs replacement.
Can I install the Hayward GLX-PC-12-KIT temperature sensor myself?
Yes, this is a highly DIY-friendly repair. It involves mounting the sensor to the pool plumbing using the included hose clamp (or inserting it into an existing dry well), routing the 15-foot wire to the control panel, and connecting the two leads to the thermistor terminals on the main board.
Why should I choose an OEM Hayward sensor over a generic aftermarket alternative?
Generic sensors often use lower-grade thermistors that do not perfectly match the resistance curve of Hayward automation systems. This discrepancy can lead to inaccurate temperature readings by several degrees, which can prematurely shut down your chlorine generator during shoulder seasons.
