XtremepowerUS Salt Cell for Hayward-Compatible Systems — Up to 25,000 Gal, Temp Sensor

XtremepowerUS Chlorination Salt Cell Plate is a drop-in replacement cell with a temperature sensor and cleaning stand designed to sanitize in-ground pools up to 25,000 gallons while working with many Hayward-compatible salt systems.

Replace a worn or failing salt cell quickly without modifying plumbing: this XtremepowerUS unit is engineered to fit popular Hayward-compatible controllers and chlorinators so you can restore salt generation fast. It includes an integrated temperature cut-off to protect the cell in cold conditions and a dedicated cleaning stand to simplify maintenance. The plug-and-play approach cuts installation time and gets your pool back to producing chlorine that keeps water clear and comfortable.

Will this salt cell work with my existing Hayward-compatible system?

Yes — the XtremepowerUS cell is built to be compatible with a range of Hayward-style control systems and chlorine generators. It is NOT compatible with Pentair systems, so double-check your controller model before ordering. Compatibility makes it an economical swap when a cell reaches end of life.

• Designed for Hayward AquaRite, AquaRite Pro and similar systems
• Fits SwimPure Plus, TurboCell and several control platforms
• Not compatible with Pentair-branded chlorinators
• Model references include W3AQR3, BLH20-AY and CIR-GEN3

How easy is installation and routine maintenance?

Installation is tool-free and made for fast replacement: remove the old cell, seat the new unit, and reconnect electrical connections — no plumbing alterations required. The included cleaning stand allows you to flush and soak the cell safely, reducing mess and extending effective cell life. Routine cleaning keeps production steady and avoids performance drop-offs.

• Tool-free swap to get the system back online quickly
• Cleaning stand for safe, mess-free descaling
• Plug-and-play electrical hookup with existing controller
• Compatible form factor for common inground pool installations

What benefits can I expect for pool water and upkeep?

A properly functioning salt cell generates chlorine continuously, which helps maintain clearer water and a more comfortable swimmer experience compared with frequent manual chlorination. Salt systems can reduce the strong chlorine odor and some common irritations while lowering ongoing chemical costs. This replacement cell restores the automated sanitizing process so you spend less time dosing and more time enjoying the pool.

• Sustained chlorine generation for balanced sanitization
• Softer-feeling water with reduced chlorine smell and irritation
• Lower routine chemical purchases and dosing effort
• Extends lifespan of chlorinator with temperature cutoff protection

Does the built-in temperature sensor protect the chlorinator?

Yes. The integrated temperature sensor automatically disables chlorine production when water temperatures fall below the unit's safe threshold, helping prevent cell damage from freezing or inefficient operation. That automatic shut-off protects the cell and can reduce the need for early replacement.

• Automatic shut-off at low water temperatures
• Reduces wear when pool water is cold
• Helps maintain long-term cell performance
• Works seamlessly with the installed controller

Who this is for: Pool owners with in-ground saltwater systems who need a cost-effective, quick-to-install replacement cell that fits Hayward-style controllers. It's well suited to residential pools up to 25,000 gallons where owners want reliable chlorine generation, easier maintenance with a cleaning stand, and built-in temperature protection. Avoid this model if your system is Pentair-branded or uses an incompatible cell shape — verify your controller model before purchasing.
