Electrical Installation – General #
- Follow all local and national electric codes.
- Determine Your System’s Version:
- Version 2.2: No Ballast Switch (Made After 2022)
- If your system does not have a ballast switch, it will automatically adjust for either 120V or 230V.
- Skip to Step 4 on page 13.
- Version 2.1: With Ballast Switch (Made Before 2022)
- If your system has a ballast switch to select between 120V or 230V, continue to Step 3.
- Version 2.2: No Ballast Switch (Made After 2022)
- Determine Your Power Supply Voltage:
- If Your System Will Be Powered by 230V
- V2.1 CCW100 and CCW50 systems are factory set to 230V.
- Skip to Step 4.
- If Your System Will Be Powered by 120V (See Figure 4)
- Adjust the ballast switch on the V2.1 Control Unit:
- Remove the plug on the left side of the Control Unit.
- Use a small screwdriver to slide the switch to the 120V position, as shown on the label. See Figure 4.
- Re-install the plug.
- Adjust the ballast switch on the V2.1 Control Unit:
- If Your System Will Be Powered by 230V
- The Clear Comfort system includes a 12-inch section of 1/2-inch flexible conduit, watertight conduit fittings, and a watertight single-gang junction box.
- If 12-inch conduit is too long, cut to the desired length.
- Slide the wires from the Clear Comfort system through the conduit.
- Insert the conduit into the watertight connector on the Clear Comfort system and tighten securely.
- Position the junction box as needed for the installation and attach the water tight conduit fitting to the junction box.
- Slide the conduit and wire into the junction box and tighten down the water-tight connection.
- Run wire (and conduit, if required by local code) from the pump circuit to the junction box using water-tight fittings.
- Using appropriately sized wire nuts inside the junction box, connect the switched power to the Clear Comfort system.
Note: The Clear Comfort System should only run when the pump is operating
Electrical Installation – Directly to Pump Circuit (Recommended) #
- Direct pump circuit connection is recommended. Unit should be hardwired to the pump circuit and controlled by the pump circuit.
- Timer Controlled Pumps: Wire to the load side of the timer.
- Breaker or Switch Controlled Pumps: Wire to the load side of the breaker or switch.
- Pool Controllers: Wire to terminals labeled Load – Pump. Always confirm voltage and switching with a reliable volt meter. All wiring must be in accordance with the NEC and local regulations.
- Test for proper grounding and secure connections.
Note: Wire the System to Run ONLY When the Pump is Running
