The Magic of ClearRay Active Oxygen™ On The J-200 and J-300 Series

For many pool and spa owners in the Tri-Cities, the biggest hurdle to relaxation isn’t the maintenance—it’s the chemicals. We’ve all experienced it: the strong smell of chlorine, the “red eye” after a soak, and that itchy, dry skin that follows.
At Isaacs Pools & Spas, we believe your backyard retreat should feel like a spa, not a chemistry lab. That is why we are so passionate about the Jacuzzi® ClearRay Active Oxygen™ system. It is a game-changer for water clarity and, more importantly, for your physical comfort.
What is ClearRay Active Oxygen™?
While traditional hot tubs rely almost exclusively on high doses of chlorine or bromine to kill bacteria, Jacuzzi® uses a sophisticated two-stage process that does the “heavy lifting” for you.
- Stage One: UV-C Light Technology: The water passes through a specialized chamber where it is exposed to ultraviolet light. This light effectively neutralizes 99.9% of waterborne pathogens by scrambling their DNA so they cannot reproduce.
- Stage Two: Active Oxygen (Ozone): The system then injects a small amount of ozone (Active Oxygen) into the water. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that breaks down contaminants like oils, lotions, and organic matter on contact.
Why It’s Better for Your Skin and Eyes
The “chlorine smell” people complain about isn’t actually the chlorine itself—it’s chloramines. Chloramines are the byproduct created when chlorine reacts with contaminants like sweat or oils. These are the culprits behind red eyes and skin irritation.
Because the ClearRay® system neutralizes those contaminants before they can bond with your sanitizer, you get several major benefits:
- Low Chemical Dependence: You can maintain crystal clear water with significantly lower levels of chlorine or bromine. This means the water feels “softer” and more natural.
- Gentle on Sensitive Skin: If you have children or family members with eczema or sensitive skin, this system is a lifesaver. It eliminates the harsh, abrasive feeling of chemical-heavy water.
- Reduced Odor: Your backyard (and your skin afterward) won’t smell like a public swimming pool. You’ll just smell fresh, clean water.
Maintenance Made Simple
Beyond the health benefits, ClearRay Active Oxygen™ is designed for the busy homeowner.
- It Works Silently: The system runs automatically with your filtration cycle. There are no extra buttons to push.
- Annual Maintenance: The only real “work” required is a simple bulb replacement once a year. At Isaacs, we often handle this during our Annual Valet Service calls in Johnson City and Kingsport, so you don’t even have to think about it.
- Extends Equipment Life: Because you are using fewer harsh chemicals, your pillows, jets, and covers actually last longer. Chemicals can be corrosive over time; Active Oxygen is much kinder to your investment.
