The Academy, a small retirement community in Boulder, Colorado, has residents who love to swim during their regular routine. At the Academy, wellness and comfort aren’t just ideals – they’re everyday expectations. So when it came to maintaining their pool, the Academy chose a solution that matched their commitment to health, safety and sustainability: the Clear Comfort AOP (advanced oxidation process) water treatment systems.
In search of a healthy pool solution, The Academy installed the Clear Comfort system and found great results. In addition to the residents’ improved swimming experience, the Clear Comfort AOP pool and spa systems significantly reduced chlorine use and maintenance.
Healthier Swimming for a Healthier Lifestyle
Many Academy residents include swimming in their daily wellness routines – and with good reason. Aquatic exercise supports heart health, joint mobility and low-impact movement. But traditional pool care methods often introduce harsh chemicals like chlorine.
When chlorine reacts to contaminants in the pool water like sweat, lotions or urea, it creates harmful chloramines (combined chlorine) and other disinfection by-products that can cause red eyes, skin irritation and strong odors. Frequent exposure to chloramines from pool water and the surrounding air is proven to lead to asthma, allergies and lung health issues.
By upgrading to Clear Comfort’s Hydroxyl-Based AOP system, The Academy significantly reduced chloramines and chemical exposure – creating a more enjoyable and healthier pool environment for everyone. Residents now enjoy crystal-clear water that feels soft, smells fresh and supports their well-being without the negative side effects of traditional chemicals.
Simplified Maintenance for Facility Staff
Clear Comfort AOP systems don’t just benefit swimmers – they make life easier for the maintenance team too. Unlike complex UV pool systems, corrosive salt systems or chemical-heavy traditional chlorine sanitation, Clear Comfort offers an easy-to-use AOP system that doesn’t require frequent maintenance, special tools or complicated servicing.
At The Academy, staff now spend less time handling chemicals and more time focusing on resident satisfaction. Clear Comfort’s reliable performance ensures water stays consistently clean with less hands-on work – and fewer surprises.
A More Sustainable to Treat Water
At The Academy, resident safety and long-term wellness are top priorities. Clear Comfort’s AOP water treatment helps meet these goals by offering a cleaner, safer and more sustainable alternative to traditional chlorine-heavy sanitation methods.
The Academy’s team also appreciated the sustainability benefits: minimizing chemical handling, storage and spread into the environment that helps minimize environmental impact. With Clear Comfort, they found a smarter way to care for their water – one that prioritizes resident well-being, operational simplicity and sustainability.
The Clear Choice for the Best Water & Air
The Academy joins a growing number of facilities nationwide. Clear Comfort isn’t just for senior living – it’s trusted by top aquatic centers, universities, water parks, YMCAs, hotels, spas and professional training facilities too. Our patented Hydroxyl-Based AOP provides award-winning sanitation with minimal chemicals and ongoing simplicity.
