Hayward GLX-CTL-RITE AquaRite® Control Unit / Power Center (Control Box Only, No Cell) The Hayward GLX-CTL-RITE is the OEM AquaRite salt system control unit (power center/control box) for in-ground pools. This is the main controller enclosure that powers and controls a compatible Hayward TurboCell and provides the front-panel interface for setting output, viewing diagnostics, and monitoring system status. What It Controls Salt chlorination output percentage (chlorine generation level) System status indicators and diagnostics (salt level status, temperature, check/inspect messages) Cell power delivery and basic protection logic when used with the proper cell and flow sensing Fits / Compatibility Designed for Hayward/Goldline AquaRite salt chlorine generator systems (AQR family) Compatible with common Hayward TurboCells: T-CELL-3, T-CELL-9, T-CELL-15 (cell sold separately) Power: commonly used on 115V or 230V installations (wired per AquaRite instructions and local code) Important Notes Control unit only: this part is the controller/power center and does not include a salt cell. Depending on how it is packaged by a seller, some listings may include items like unions and/or a flow switch, but the core purpose of this SKU is the control unit. Verify included accessories before ordering if you need those parts. If you’re replacing an older controller, confirm your existing cell type and cable connection style are compatible. Common Reasons to Replace Control box failure (no power, repeated faults, burned components, or corrosion damage) Display/controls no longer function reliably after troubleshooting wiring, fuses, and connections Upgrading an older AquaRite control box while keeping an existing TurboCell Specs (Quick Reference) Part Number: GLX-CTL-RITE Application: Salt System Control Unit / Power Center Pool Type: In-Ground Warranty: 1-Year (Parts Only) Approx. Shipping Dimensions: 8.5" x 14" x 18.3" Approx. Shipping Weight: 18.5 lb Installation Notes Turn off power at the breaker before opening the enclosure or wiring. Confirm correct voltage wiring (115V vs 230V) per the AquaRite manual and your installation. If the original failure was caused by moisture, correct conduit sealing/enclosure issues before installing the new control unit. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified professional and must follow local code requirements.

Inspect and clean the salt cell periodically—scale buildup reduces output and can trigger system warnings. Use a reliable test kit to confirm water balance (especially salt, pH, and calcium) to reduce scaling and extend cell life. Check cable connections and strain relief occasionally—loose or corroded connections can mimic controller problems.
