Cell Design with Totally Energized Blade Technology
Comfort-Chlor is designed with our trademark Totally Energized Blade Technology
(TEBT) which directs lower voltage to every blade in our cell. Because
each blade is energized independently, we can operate at lower voltage
than the competition. The result is a longer lasting cell that works effectively
at low and high mineral/salt levels as well as at low and high pool water
temperatures.
For comparative purposes, competitive units operate at higher voltage (24-30 volts) because they energize only their end blades (bi-polar system) and must have enough voltage to transfer across all the other blades which are not directly energized. The following illustrates how they work in perfect and real world conditions.
(24-30 Volts)
Perfect Salt and Temp Conditions
Water with perfect salt and temperature levels transfers the charge through the floating blades and breaks the voltage down evenly to ensure the voltage on each blade stays low.
Real World Low Salt or Temp
Low salt or low water temperature makes water less conductive, which causes the charge to skip directly from the first blade to the last one. This places 24 to 30 Volts of stress onto the two outside blades directly and burns them up quickly if the system doesn't shut itself down.
The result is premature cell failure. We don’t use digital readouts of mineral/salt levels because they tend to further increase cell failures since they are affected by variables such as water temperature, among others. Inaccurate digital readouts induce the need to add or delete minerals/salt when it is not warranted. When the variables return to normal, premature failure of competitive cells result. The Comfort-Chlor system control calculates effects of multiple factors, then adjusts for these variables, resulting in better performance and longer cell life.
