Jandy TruClear SWG

The Jandy TruClear is an entry level SWG that Pentair specifies as being for pools up to 35,000 gallons. TFP recommends a SWG be 2X the pool volume and the TruClear be best in pools 17,500 gallons or less.

The TruClear cell will generate 0.93 lbs (420 gm) per day if run for 24 hours.

Power can be 120 volts or 240 volts 50/60 Hz using 2 to 4 amps. Output to the cell is 25 volts DC maximum.

The TruClear will operate at flow rates of 20 GPM and above.

Power

The power pack must be installed at least 2 feet (0.6 m) vertically off the ground. Ensure the power pack is protected from direct water exposure from sprinklers, water runoff from rooftops and drainage.

In the US, the power pack must be installed at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) from the inside wall of your swimming pool or spa; in Canada, the power pack must be installed at least 3 m (10 ft.) from the inside wall of your swimming pool or spa.

The Jandy TruClear Installation Manual says:

The power pack must be interlocked/interconnected with the pool pump motor power source to ensure that the chlorinator only operates when the pool pump is operating. The flow sensor feature of the Jandy TruClear is intended to be used as a backup only and should not be used as the sole source of flow detection.

The cell must be installed horizontally with the cord facing upwards to avoid buildup of flammable gases which can result in FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

The cell must be installed as the last piece of equipment in the circulation plumbing system just before the pool.
