This cell is designed to drop in place and allow you to replace your old Breeze540 cell in minutes. The APX S5 cell is guaranteed to work and quickly restore your salt system's operation.

Replacing the cell will allow your salt chlorine generator to begin chlorinating again if your old Breeze 540 salt cell has been depleted. The APX S5 aftermarket cell for Breeze 540 systems is an affordable option to make sure you can keep sanitizing your swimming pool in an eco-friendly and cost-efficient way. It also helps provide a luxurious swimming experience without the eye irritation and dry skin!

Sizing:

When replacing your old Breeze 540 salt cell, take this opportunity to make sure it is sized correctly. Sizing your salt cell properly is key to making sure you will not need to supplement with additional chlorine or shock your pool, and also extends the lifespan of your cell. The industry recommends using a salt cell with a max capacity of 1.5-2 times the actual size of your pool (more is better). The manufacturer rates the Breeze 540 for a maximum capacity of 40,000 gallons.

Compatibility:

The APX S5 replacement salt cell is guaranteed to work with Breeze540 systems (no software/firmware issues). The S5 aftermarket cell for Breeze 540 systems has the same dimensions, threading, and cable connection for direct replacement of the following models:

  • SGS Breeze-540
  • Older SGS SG-3000
  • CMP Wave 540
  • CMP Breeze 540
  • CMP PowerClean Salt 540
  • Jacuzzi JSCS40, J-SCS40,
    • NOTE: Does NOT fit Jacuzzi J-SS40 (JSS40) or J-SC40 (JSC40) models - these incompatible models are based on the Astral Hurlcon VX platform.

APX PERFORMANCE S5 Cell is not manufactured, endorsed, or sold by SGS or CMP or Jacuzzi. Neither APX PERFORMANCE nor the S5 cell is affiliated with SGS or CMP or Jacuzzi; the use of manufacturer names, product names, part numbers, or such trademarks herein are included for compatibility designations and informational purposes only.


To get the most life out of your salt cell and to keep your pool running without unexpected interruptions, make sure it is sized correctly, maintain correct water balance, and be sure and inspect your cell at least every 3 months for leaks, debris, and calcium scale. Be sure to follow instructions in the product manual and clean the cell as often as the system indicates.

Replacement salt cell
We were at our wits end trying to find replacement parts for our wave salt cell unit. With the amazing assistance of our sales associate we were able to find replacement parts and received our parts just in time to have our annual 4th of July family function! Highly recommend Discount Salt Pool for all your pool needs.

Q: Have Breeze 540 w/ only 1 maybe 2 cells generating chlorine. Is cell assembly gone bad or is a computer chip failed again?

Asked by: Arthur - 7/26/2022
A: If the cell is bad, typically you get a service light even though the cell is clean, salt is good, and water is filling the cell. If the control module is bad typically you get a flashing power light.

Q: The inner plastic ring on my CMP 540 has several cracks around the perimeter causing water to leak out of the housing. The salt generator is working fine. Is there a way to replace the plastic "cap" without replacing the entire cell?

Asked by: jim chartier - 11/4/2023
A: Yes, the cap, or collar actually, can be replaced. I urge you to call our technical support team at (866) 766-5243 and they can assist you with parts, instructions and warranty coverage (if applicable).
