HAYWARD GLX Turbo Cell Cleaning Stand
Product Overview
Acid-washing a salt chlorinator without soaking the cord or spilling acid on the pool deck starts with a threaded base.
Submerging a Turbo Cell in a five-gallon bucket risks acid contact with electrical cord terminals and makes managing acid levels difficult. The Hayward GLX-Cellstand threads directly onto any Hayward Turbo Cell series unit (including T-CELL-15, T-CELL-9, and T-CELL-3), holding it vertically so you can pour a standard 4:1 water-to-muriatic acid solution straight inside to dissolve calcium scale on the plates without damaging external wiring.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Threaded O-Ring Seal
Screws directly to the cell union to prevent acid leaks onto your deck or hands during descaling.
Protects Electrical Wiring
Keeps the cell upright so the electrical cable stays completely dry and clear of harsh acid fumes.
Chemical-Resistant Construction
Heavy-duty plastic structure resists diluted muriatic acid solutions without cracking or warping.
Compatibility
- Compatible with Hayward T-CELL-3, T-CELL-5, T-CELL-9, and T-CELL-15 models
- Safe for use with diluted muriatic acid solutions (4:1 water-to-acid ratio) or commercial cell cleaners
- Not compatible with non-Hayward cell threading without adapters
When To Use This
Pro Tip
In hard water regions where calcium hardness frequently tests toward the upper end of 200–400 ppm, cell plates scale faster; inspect often, but only acid-wash when white deposits visibly bridge the plates to preserve the ruthenium coating.
Common Questions & Instructions
How do you use the Hayward GLX-Cellstand to clean a salt cell?
First, shut off power to your chlorinator and remove the Turbo Cell. Thread the GLX-Cellstand onto the bottom union collar until snug. Stand the assembly upright on a flat, level surface. Mix 4 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid (always adding acid to water) and pour carefully into the top of the cell until the titanium plates are covered. Soak for 10 to 15 minutes until foaming stops, safely dispose of the solution, rinse thoroughly with fresh water, and reinstall.
Which Hayward salt chlorinator cells fit the GLX-Cellstand?
The stand matches standard Hayward Turbo Cell thread patterns, fitting T-CELL-3, T-CELL-5, T-CELL-9, and T-CELL-15, along with equivalent AquaRite, SwimPure, and Goldline salt chlorination models.
How often should I clean my Hayward Turbo Cell with acid?
Inspect the cell every 500 operating hours or approximately every 3 months. Only clean with acid if visible white calcium bridging or scaling appears between the plates. Unnecessary acid washes strip the protective ruthenium coating from the titanium plates and shorten cell lifespan.
