Clear Comfort hydroxyl-based AOP systems
Hydroxyl-radical advanced oxidation alongside chlorine — not UV, not ozone
Overview
Clear Comfort's AOP is a distinct technology from ultraviolet or ozone supplemental treatment. The manufacturer states its patented process "directly creates hydroxyl radicals in the water without multiple systems." It is positioned as a secondary or supplemental treatment that runs alongside chlorine, not a chlorine replacement.
Three models cover a range of recirculation flows: CCW300A for entry commercial pools and splash pads, CCW300 for medium commercial pools and splash pads, and CCW500 for large commercial pools and water parks. Clear Comfort sizes systems by recirculation flow in gallons per minute (GPM), not pool gallonage. The manufacturer names hotels, universities, water parks, spas, YMCAs, recreation centers, and professional sports hydrotherapy pools among the facility types it serves.

Is this a fit for your facility?
Usually a fit when
- Facilities adding a secondary disinfection barrier alongside an existing chlorine program
- Pools and splash pads within a model's published recirculation-flow range
- Hotels, universities, water parks, spas, YMCAs, recreation centers, and professional sports hydrotherapy pools, per the manufacturer
Look elsewhere when
- Facilities expecting AOP to replace chlorine rather than supplement it
- Sites where the unit cannot be located within 15 ft of the Venturi injection site
- Recirculation flows above the CCW500's published 2,000 GPM maximum
Ideal facilities and conditions: Entry-level commercial pools and splash pads (CCW300A); Medium commercial pools and splash pads (CCW300); Large commercial pools and water parks (CCW500).
Problems it addresses
Key capabilities and benefits
Capabilities
- Direct hydroxyl-radical injection (patented AOP) — not UV, not ozone
- Sized by recirculation flow (GPM), not pool gallonage
- Runs only when the recirculation pump runs, per the manufacturer
- Annual cartridge replacement; manufacturer states no other maintenance is required
Operational and buyer benefits
- A secondary disinfection barrier alongside chlorine
- Simple, scheduled annual maintenance
- Sizing keyed to the facility's actual recirculation flow rather than pool volume

Installation requirements and retrofit considerations
Prerequisites
- Venturi injection point within 15 ft of the unit
- Ambient temperature 40–90 °F at the install location
- Recirculation pump interlock so the unit runs only when the pump runs
- Pole, wall, or floor mounting location confirmed per model
Retrofit and replacement notes
- Commonly added alongside an existing chlorine program during a modernization, rather than replacing it
- Confirm recirculation flow (GPM), not pool gallonage, against the model's published range before sizing
Integration with other equipment
