Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does a genuine Hayward salt cell typically last? A: A standard cell has a life expectancy of approximately 10,000 hours of runtime, which generally translates to 3 to 7 years depending on climate and maintenance.
Q: Do I need to reconfigure my system controller when installing this cell? A: If you are replacing an existing T-CELL-5 or GLX-CELL-5, no reconfiguration is necessary, but firmware models 2009 or later may require verifying the cell type setting.
