For the CCW100 & CCW50 AOP Systems

Have questions? We’re happy to help! Here are answers to our most frequently asked questions about the Clear Comfort Factory-New Cartridge Exchange, Sustainable Cartridge Exchange and Core Deposit.

1. It’s Good For Your Water Quality 
So your Clear Comfort system can keep providing the best water quality possible, your cartridge must be exchanged each year (or after 10,000 hours of use). No other system maintenance is required.

2. It’s Good For Our Planet
Designed with sustainability in mind, Clear Comfort cartridges use reusable, strong and durable aluminum, which helps your system last the lifetime of your pool or spa. The result is a lighter environmental footprint and less waste in landfills.

When your old cartridge is sent back, Clear Comfort recycles and repurposes it to create a refreshed cartridge exchange with the same performance and durability of your original system.

3. It’s Good For You
Additionally, by using materials that can be used to build new cartridges, Clear Comfort is able to keep consumable costs down and more affordable to achieve the best, healthiest and easiest pool water. A win-win for you and the planet
