PureLine® Dummy Cell – Straight Pipe Holder for Salt Chlorine Generators
This straight pipe holder—commonly referred to as a dummy cell—is compatible with Hayward® AquaRite®, AquaTrol®, and PureLine® Crystal Pure Salt Systems. It is designed to temporarily replace your standard chlorine-generating salt cell during maintenance, cleaning, or seasonal shutdowns.
When to Use a Dummy Cell:
Winterization
In areas where pools are closed for the winter, swapping your active salt cell with a dummy cell helps preserve the lifespan of your original equipment.
Salt Cell Cleaning
Use the dummy cell while cleaning your original salt cell to maintain water flow and filtration, avoiding system downtime.
Spring Start-Up
Ideal during initial spring clean-up when heavy debris could damage your chlorine-generating cell.
Compatibility
Works with salt systems using these common part numbers:
T-15, T-CELL-15, GLX-CELL-15, T-9, T-CELL-9, GLX-CELL-9, T-5, T-CELL-5, GLX-CELL-5, T-3, T-CELL-3, GLX-CELL-3

What is the Hayward Straight Pipe Placeholder used for?
Reply
The Straight Pipe Placeholder is used to winterize the pool. It is recommend that the cell be removed for the winter. The Placeholder would take the salt cell's place. It is also used if the pool is ever chemically treated for stains.

Does this product come with both (TWO 2) GXL-Cell-Union Threaded Collars, TWO (2) Stub Pipes, and TWO (2) O-Ring gaskets?
With thanks, David

Can this be used as a placeholder cell for the Jandy AquaPure PureLink 3?

Hi Bernard, we checked this dummy cell today against the Jandy AquaPure PureLink 3 and the length of the cell is the same length, however, the unions on the PureLink are larger than the unions on this placeholder cell, so this would not work on the Jandy AquaPure PureLink 3.

Will be buying the PL7707 (40k HD) system soon. I have a question about this dummy cell placeholder. We live in New Orleans, no ice during winter so we keep the pool open/running year round. Typically, I do not chlorinate the pool from dec to late feb. Once the new PL7707 is installed, is it better to leave the cell in for those 3mos or remove and use the dummy cell? Any issue leaving the Cell “in” and powered off? What are the pros and cons either way?

Hi, Mike. It's okay to have the cell installed with the chlorinator off. The dummy cell in your case will only be applicable for maintenance and servicing reasons like cell cleaning, spring startup etc. The dummy cell is a great accessory to have on hand.

Went to AutoZone and bought the biggest oil filter pliers I could get. Loosened both of the PVC fittings and removed the dead salt cell. Inserted the bypass tube and tightened the PVC fittings at each end. Wa-Lah completed.

I have been using this dummy cell for the last couple of years. It works as advertised. I think it is important to store the salt cell safely during the off season.
