GENERAL INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Do not service the machine
when the power is ON.
• The power supply wire gauge
and insulation must meet
the temperature and power
requirements.
• To avoid personal injury never
touch exposed electrical
connections or components
while the power is ON.
• Do not install/service the Clear
Comfort system if you or the
machine is standing in water
with the power ON.
• Protect the power cord from
being walked on or pinched,
particularly at plugs and the
point where they exit from the
system.
• The device must be properly
connected to the correct power
source (either 60Hz 120V or
230V) using the supplied power
cord in accordance with the
local electrical code. If possible
the unit should be hardwired to
the pump circuit and controlled
by the pump circuit (rather than
hardwiring, an appropriate 120V
or 230V receptacle outlet and
plug may be used to connect to
the pump controlled circuit).If
the unit is being wired to
standalone AC power (i.e., not
through the pump circuit on
either 120V or 230V) it should
be installed with its own timer
circuit and plugged in through
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt
(GFCI) and the timer should be
set to reect the pool or tub’s
hours of operation. Regardless
if hardwired or standalone
connected, the electrical
connection must be made
in accordance with the local
electrical code.
GROUNDING
The Clear Comfort, LLC system
must be properly grounded. An
electrical ground connection to a
reliable earth ground is essential for
safe operation. Without an electrical
ground, all accessible conductive
components (including knobs and
controls that appear insulated) can
render an electrical shock.
GENERAL SAFETY
Use personal protective equipment
(steel toe shoes, hearing protection,
eye protection) when installing the
Clear Comfort system. Follow ladder
safety requirements.

KEY FEATURES
This manual describes how to install, operate and maintain the standard
Clear Comfort system. The installation takes only a few hours and can
be installed with little or no disruption to a facility’s recirculation or
electrical systems. The Clear Comfort system immediately starts to work
on a facility of any size, replaces the need to add toxic chemicals in most
operating situations and replaces the need for a day-to-day residual
sanitizer. The pool or spa water still needs to be tested, as would be done
with a traditional chemical system.
OPERATING RANGES
Power: 120V or 230V receptacle with approximately 10 watts.
Ballast: 120V or 230V
Electrical Requirements: 120V, 60Hz
Electrical Rating: 120V, 60Hz, 1.0Amp or 230V, 60Hz, 0.5Amp
NOTE: CLEAR COMFORT SHOULD ONLY RUN WHEN THE PUMP IS
OPERATING
