Hayward 10K Thermistor Temperature Sensor Replacement Kit with 15ft Cable — GLX-PC-12-KIT for Salt Chlorine Generators

The Hayward GLX-PC-12-KIT is a direct-fit 10K thermistor temperature sensor replacement for Hayward salt chlorine generators, supplied with a 15-foot cable for easy routing and installation.

This replacement kit restores accurate water temperature readings for compatible Hayward salt chlorine systems and certain Pro Logic automation models (PL-PS-8, PL-PS-8-V). A functioning temperature sensor helps pool control systems calculate salt cell output and optimize sanitization cycles. The GLX-PC-12-KIT arrives ready to install and is built to match the original sensor’s electrical characteristics for reliable performance.

How will this sensor affect my salt chlorine generator’s operation?

Accurate temperature input is a key factor the generator uses to determine chlorine production rates and runtime. Replacing a failing thermistor prevents incorrect temperature readings that can lead to inefficient cell output or unnecessary runtime alerts. The Hayward 10K thermistor restores the generator’s ability to adjust to actual pool temperature.

• 10K thermistor matches factory resistance curve for proper control logic.
• Pre-wired 15-foot cable provides flexible placement and neat routing.
• Plug-and-play compatibility with specified Hayward models.

Which systems is this replacement compatible with?

This kit is intended for Hayward salt chlorine generators and is also compatible with Hayward Pro Logic automation models PL-PS-8 and PL-PS-8-V. Confirm compatibility by comparing the part number or by checking your system manual. If your generator uses a different connector or resistance value, consult Hayward support before installing.

• Designed for Hayward salt chlorine generator models (factory replacements).
• Compatible with Pro Logic PL-PS-8 and PL-PS-8-V automation systems.
• 10K thermistor specification aligns with Hayward control boards.

What does installation look like and how long does it take?

Installation is typically straightforward for someone comfortable working with pool equipment. The kit includes the sensor assembly with a 15-foot cable to reach the controller location; most replacements take under an hour including basic checks. Always cut power to the system and follow manufacturer safety and wiring instructions.

• Power off pool equipment and follow lockout procedures.
• Swap the old sensor for the new 10K thermistor and route the 15-foot cable to the controller.
• Verify connection and confirm proper temperature reading on the control panel.

How durable is the sensor and what should I expect for maintenance?

The GLX-PC-12-KIT is engineered to withstand pool-side conditions typical for temperature sensors. While the sensor itself requires little maintenance, periodic checks of the cable and connector for corrosion or damage will prolong reliable operation. Replace if you notice erratic temperature readings or visible wear to wiring or connectors.

• Robust thermistor element designed for aquatic environments when installed properly.
• Inspect cable and connector annually for moisture intrusion or wear.
• Replace immediately if temperature readings become unstable or inconsistent.

Who is this for: Pool professionals, service technicians, and DIY pool owners who operate Hayward salt chlorine systems or Pro Logic automation (PL-PS-8, PL-PS-8-V) and need a direct replacement temperature sensor. Choose this kit when you require a factory-matching 10K thermistor with a 15-foot lead to ensure accurate temperature reporting and straightforward installation.
