Aqualix GLX-CTL-RITE Control Unit Replacement for Hayward AquaRite — T-CELL-3/9/15 Compatible, Dual-Voltage, Weatherproof

The Aqualix GLX-CTL-RITE is a drop-in aftermarket control unit that replaces Hayward Aqua Rite systems and runs T-CELL-3, T-CELL-9 and T-CELL-15 salt cells for pools up to 40,000 gallons.

This compact control board assembly provides the electronics, LCD display and transformer in a weatherproof enclosure to restore reliable salt-chlorination control without the cost of OEM parts. Designed specifically as a direct-fit upgrade for Hayward AQR/Goldline Aqua Rite equipment pads, the GLX-CTL-RITE supports dual-voltage operation, built-in diagnostics and adjustable output to maintain consistent free chlorine production.

How will this control unit restore my salt system quickly?

The GLX-CTL-RITE is assembled to match Aqua Rite mounting and wiring conventions, letting you swap the old module for a straightforward replacement. Pre-installed main and display PCBs plus the transformer minimize on-pad rewiring and reduce installation time.

• Direct replacement footprint for Hayward Aqua Rite systems
• Main PCB, display PCB and transformer pre-mounted
• Jumper-selectable 110–130 VAC or 220–250 VAC input
• Rain-tight enclosure for poolside equipment pads

What diagnostic and control features are built into this board?

Front-panel LCD and status LEDs provide clear feedback on salt level, water temperature, output percent and special modes so you can identify issues fast. The unit displays common alerts — No Flow, Check Salt, High Salt and Inspect Cell — to guide maintenance and prevent extended downtime.

• LCD shows output percentage and Super Chlorinate countdown
• LEDs for salt, flow, power and fault conditions
• Built-in reminders for cell inspection and water balance
• Manual Super Chlorinate mode for heavy bather loads

Will this work with my pool size and salt cell model?

The GLX-CTL-RITE is compatible with Hayward T-CELL-3, T-CELL-9 and T-CELL-15 salt cells and is sized to handle pools up to 40,000 gallons when paired with the appropriate cell. It is an aftermarket replacement rather than an OEM Hayward part, engineered for equivalent performance across these commonly used cells.

• Compatible with T-CELL-3, -9 and -15 salt cells
• Supports pools up to 40,000 gallons with correct cell
• Aftermarket replacement built for Aqua Rite systems
• Not a Hayward OEM component (functionally equivalent)

How does the unit help reduce maintenance headaches?

Smart monitoring plus adjustable output percentages reduce the need for frequent manual chlorine additions by keeping production steady and predictable. Built-in alerts and the Inspect Cell reminders protect the cell from scaling and over-salting, helping extend service intervals when water chemistry is managed properly.

• Adjustable output minimizes manual chlorine dosing
• Inspect Cell reminders encourage timely maintenance
• Super Chlorinate mode handles shock-demand events
• Water-balance guidance included in the manual

Who is this for: The Aqualix GLX-CTL-RITE is for pool owners and service professionals who need a cost-effective, compatible replacement for failed Aqua Rite control units. It's ideal if you use Hayward T-CELL salt cells, want a simple drop-in swap with dual-voltage flexibility, and value clear diagnostics to keep your salt chlorinator reliable between regular maintenance. Note: this is an aftermarket replacement, so if you require an original Hayward-branded part, choose an OEM control instead.
