Product Overview
The Hayward Saline C 6.0 Replacement Cell with Cover | HCXSCELL6 is the genuine OEM replacement electrolytic cell assembly for the Hayward HCSC60 Saline C 6.0 Commercial Salt Chlorine Generator.
Designed for demanding commercial swimming pool applications, the HCXSCELL6 replaces the worn electrode cell and upper cover as an assembly. Hayward’s official Saline C 6.0 parts guide identifies HCXSCELL6 specifically as the “Replacement Cell & Cover.”
Inside the Saline C system, pool water passes across precious-metal-coated electrode plates. When operated at the required salt concentration, the electrolytic process converts dissolved salt into free chlorine for continuous pool sanitation.
This is an excellent replacement when an existing Saline C 6.0 cell has reached the end of its service life, can no longer maintain rated chlorine production, or requires replacement due to electrode wear.

Compatible Hayward System
HCXSCELL6 is specifically intended for:
Hayward HCSC60 – Saline C 6.0 Commercial Salt Chlorine Generator
This is not a generic Hayward residential TurboCell and should not be substituted for AquaRite/TurboCell models based only on chlorine output.
Hayward’s parts diagram lists the HCXSCELL6 as item #1 in the Saline C 6.0 assembly.
What's Included
Included:
- Saline C 6.0 replacement electrolytic cell
- Cell cover
The complete power supply, clear vessel, flow sensor, plumbing fittings, and replacement cell cable assembly are separate components. Hayward lists HCXSPS6 as the power supply, HCXSFLOS6 as the flow sensor, and HCXCCCC as the separate replacement cell cable/connector assembly.
Saline C 6.0 Chlorine Production
Despite the “C 6.0” model designation, Hayward’s official current documentation specifies:
5.0 lb/day equivalent chlorine production at 3,500 ppm salt
The system is designed to operate with approximately 3,500–5,000 ppm salt and can operate continuously in commercial service when properly installed and maintained.
Hayward specifies a minimum 40 GPM through the electrolytic cell housing to achieve rated production, with a maximum listed flow of 100 GPM.
When Should the Cell Be Replaced?
Salt chlorination cells are wear components. Over time, the electrode coating deteriorates and chlorine production decreases.
Replacement may be appropriate when the system can no longer maintain the required chlorine residual despite:
- Correct salt concentration
- Proper water flow
- Balanced pool chemistry
- Correct output settings
- Removal of scale from the cell
- Proper operation of the power supply
If cleaning no longer restores normal chlorine output, the electrolytic cell may have reached the end of its service life.
Installation & Service Guidance
Hayward states that the Saline C 6.0 should be installed and serviced by a qualified pool professional.
Before replacing the cell:
Disconnect power to the chlorination system, isolate water flow to the vessel, and follow Hayward's service procedures when removing and reinstalling the electrode stack.
The electrode must also be properly oriented inside the vessel so the gaps between the electrode blades align with the water path through the housing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What system does HCXSCELL6 fit?
It fits the Hayward HCSC60 Saline C 6.0 Commercial Salt Chlorine Generator.
Does HCXSCELL6 include the cover?
Yes. Hayward identifies HCXSCELL6 as the Replacement Cell & Cover.
Does it include the complete Saline C vessel?
No. This is the replacement cell and cover assembly. The vessel and other system components are separate.
Is this a residential AquaRite salt cell?
No. This is specifically for the commercial Saline C 6.0 system.
How much chlorine does the Saline C 6.0 produce?
Hayward officially rates the HCSC60 at 5.0 pounds of equivalent chlorine per day at 3,500 ppm salt.
What salt level does the system require?
Hayward specifies approximately 3,500–5,000 ppm.
