Has anyone installed a Clear Comfort system in their hot tub or swim spa? If so, what do you think of it?

The product is extremely harsh on seals and causes them to prematurely fail. The seals will turn a tint of ugly yellow develop systemic leaks w/in a few years due to the nature of the product and how it effects the integrity of said seals, so we void all warranties when this product is used. I know many manufacturers who have the same / similar language in their warranties as well, so I'd read the fine print of the your warranty before making any purchase.
I am in no way passing judgement on the product, its ability to preform, its quality, etc. but rather simply conveying the dangers of the byproduct as to how it effects our parts and likely the parts of most manufacturers.
I hope this helps. Good luck moving forward.

It isn't biguanide. It's basically a super powered UV-C deal.
I'm on the fence about trying it out. It's really pricey. Like the old ACE Salt water Systems in Hot Spring. But if it works... it works!

like a proprietary ozone maybe? I wonder if it's like Bullfrog's EOS system: https://www.bullfrogspas.com/eos/
Their website is full of red flags like the terms 'drinking water level' 'low chemical' etc so i'd have my doubts, but again I have no experience with it either

There was a biguianide brand called Clear Comfort that used to compete against Baquacil, and I assumed it was that. I have amended my earlier post as it was erroneous.
