Commercial Supplemental Sanitation
The CCW500 supplements the facility’s required chlorine, bromine, or other approved primary sanitizer.
Clear Comfort’s patented AOP technology generates hydroxyl radicals that oxidize contaminants introduced by swimmers and the surrounding environment. This helps reduce the oxidation burden placed on the facility’s primary sanitizer.
The system can help address:
- Organic contaminants
- Combined chlorine
- Chloramine-related odors
- Oils and lotions
- Other oxidizable contaminants
- Disinfection by-products
- Chlorine-resistant microorganisms
Required sanitizer residuals, turnover rates, filtration, testing, recordkeeping, and operational procedures must continue to comply with applicable health-code requirements.
Best Applications
The CCW500 is designed for large, heavily used commercial aquatic facilities, including:
- Large commercial swimming pools
- Water parks
- Municipal aquatic centers
- University and school aquatic facilities
- Recreation centers
- YMCAs and health clubs
- Large hotel and resort pools
- Competition pools
- Professional athletic training facilities
- Large therapy and rehabilitation pools
- High-bather-load indoor pools
- Commercial water attractions
Final system selection should account for circulation flow, water volume, turnover rate, bather load, operating hours, sanitizer demand, facility design, and installation method.

The commercial enclosure includes:
- Cartridge A
- Cartridge B
- Individual cartridge-status indicators
- System power switch and indicator
- Internal power supply
- Voltage-specific ballasts
- Current sensor
- External adjustable flowmeter
- Treated-air outlet
- Lockable front doors
Both cartridges must be correctly installed, powered, and connected for the system to operate as designed.
The dual-cartridge layout also provides built-in treatment redundancy compared with a single-cartridge configuration.
Chlorine and Disinfection By-Product Reduction
Clear Comfort positions its commercial systems to help facilities:
- Reduce chlorine and other chemical use
- Improve control of combined chlorine
- Reduce irritating chemical odors
- Reduce unwanted disinfection by-products
- Improve water clarity
- Improve swimmer and staff comfort
- Reduce chemical handling and storage demands
- Stabilize overall water-care operation
Clear Comfort reports commercial chemical reductions of up to approximately 50% and disinfection by-product reductions of approximately 50%–90% in qualifying applications.
These are manufacturer-reported results rather than guaranteed outcomes. Actual performance depends on system sizing, installation, chemistry, filtration, circulation, bather load, operating procedures, and facility conditions.
Supplemental Protection Against Cryptosporidium
Clear Comfort reports third-party university testing demonstrating a 99.99% reduction of chlorine-resistant Cryptosporidium under the tested conditions.
The CCW500 remains a supplemental sanitation system. It does not eliminate the need to maintain the required primary sanitizer or follow applicable health-department procedures for contamination events, fecal incidents, testing, closure, or remediation.
Flexible Installation Options
The CCW500 can be integrated through several commercial injection methods:
- Inline diffuser rod
- Surge-pit diffuser
- Venturi injection
- Air-compressor-assisted injection
The correct method depends on the facility’s hydraulic design, return-pipe configuration, circulation flow, surge-pit layout, available space, and equipment-room conditions.
Clear Comfort or a qualified commercial aquatic professional should review the proposed application before the system and installation kit are ordered.
Inline Diffuser Installation
An inline diffuser installation introduces treated air directly into the main return plumbing.
The diffuser and flow switch are generally installed after the filter and heater, with the greatest practical distance from the chlorine-injection location.
A typical inline installation kit may include:
- Diffuser rods
- Air check valves
- Air tubing
- Air-compressor enclosure
- Flow switch
- Junction box
- Flowmeter
- Plumbing tools and installation components
The flow switch helps prevent the CCW500 from operating when circulation flow is not present.
The CCW500 should generally be positioned within 15 feet of the injection point, and air tubing should be kept as short and direct as practical.
Surge-Pit Diffuser Installation
Facilities equipped with a surge pit may introduce treated air through submerged diffuser assemblies.
For the CCW500, multiple diffusers are connected to the system through a splitter configuration.
Diffusers should generally be positioned:
- Near the location where water enters the surge pit
- Away from the circulation-pump suction
- Where bubbles can disperse effectively
- Where tubing can be protected from damage
- Where components remain accessible for inspection and service
Surge-pit designs differ substantially between facilities. Clear Comfort should review the proposed diffuser quantity, placement, tubing route, and equipment configuration before installation.
Typical Plumbing Sequence
For an inline commercial installation, the general equipment sequence is:
Pool → Pump → Filter → Heater → Clear Comfort Injection Point → Chlorine Injection → Return to Pool
The Clear Comfort injection point should generally remain upstream of the facility’s chemical-injection equipment.
All chemical feeders, controllers, sensors, and secondary sanitation equipment must be positioned according to their manufacturers’ instructions and the approved facility design.
Air-Flow Requirements
The CCW500 requires approximately 40–55 LPM of treatment-air flow.
Air flow should be verified:
- During initial startup
- After cartridge replacement
- After pump-speed changes
- After plumbing modifications
- After filtration service
- During routine facility inspections
- Whenever water-treatment performance changes
Potential causes of insufficient air flow include:
- Restricted or kinked air tubing
- Incorrect flowmeter adjustment
- Dirty or restricted filters
- Low circulation flow
- Compressor malfunction
- Blocked diffuser assemblies
- Improper injection placement
- Air leaks within the installation
Operating outside the recommended range can reduce treatment performance.
Annual Cartridge Exchange
The primary routine maintenance requirement is the annual exchange of both CCW500 cartridges.
Clear Comfort describes the procedure as an approximately 15-minute process that does not require lamps, specialized tools, professional servicing, or extended facility downtime.
The general process includes:
- Turn the CCW500 off
- Disconnect power from the system
- Disconnect the blue air tubing from both cartridges
- Disconnect the electrical cartridge connections
- Release the cartridge-retaining brackets
- Remove both cartridges
- Install both replacement cartridges
- Secure the retaining brackets
- Reconnect air tubing and electrical connections
- Restore power
- Adjust air flow to 40–55 LPM
- Verify system and cartridge-status indicators
- Return used cartridges through Clear Comfort’s exchange process
Cartridges should be replaced annually or according to the status indicators and Clear Comfort’s current service instructions.
Electrical Requirements
The CCW500 operates on either 120V or 240V, 60 Hz electrical power.
Commercial installation may require:
- GFCI-protected electrical supply
- Proper equipment grounding
- Flow switch
- Junction box
- Air compressor
- Current-sensor connection
- Watertight conduit and fittings
- Control that prevents operation without circulation
The system may be tied to the circuit controlling pump operation or connected to an appropriate GFCI-protected outlet.
All electrical work must be completed by a qualified professional in accordance with the unit specification label, installation instructions, and applicable codes.
Floor-Standing Installation
The CCW500 is a floor-standing system and should not be wall mounted.
The enclosure should be installed:
- On a stable, level surface
