Maintain continuous water flow through your in-ground pool’s circulation system while removing the salt cell for cleaning, winterization, or replacement with the Hayward GLX-CELL-PIPE TurboCell® Straight Placeholder. This component installs directly between the existing union fittings where a standard salt cell mounts, keeping plumbing connected without requiring system dismantling. The placeholder contains no electronics and does not generate chlorine, making it safe for standard pump operation during maintenance windows.

The 1.8 lb part accommodates compatible Hayward salt chlorination layouts, specifically designed for AquaRite®, AquaRite Pro®, AquaPlus®, ProLogic®, and AquaLogic® control series. It ships as a single piece in an 8.84" x 6.63" x 6.08" package and includes a 6-month manufacturer warranty. Standard installation involves shutting off the pump, relieving line pressure, detaching the current cell, sliding the placeholder into the open ports, tightening the unions, and restarting circulation.

Verify that your pool piping matches a standard TurboCell-style inline configuration before purchase. When regular chemical production is needed, replace this straight pipe with a functioning Hayward Salt Cell rather than leaving the placeholder in service.
