CHLORINE GENERATORS FOR WATER DISINFECTION

Principle of operation

On site electrochemical hypochlorite generator operation is based upon the hydrolysis of a sodium chlorite solution (sea water or water containing added NaCl) operated inside an electrochemical cell properly designed and electrically powered. Basically a NaCl solution (sea water or pickle) flows into a chamber containing one or more anode-cathode pairs made of proper material, where a serie of reactions take place, that can be summarized in the following stoichiometry of hypochlorite formation:
 

2NaCl + H2O → NaClO + NaCl + H2↑

The PISCINADIMARE.IT  System is uncomplicated in operation and can be easily and quickly added to any new or existing pool.

The Salt Cell is simply fitted to the plumbing of your pool between the filter and water outlet and the Control Unit is mounted adjacent to the Cell for easy monitoring and control of your pool's maintenance.

Through the process of electrolysis the units convert salt to sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine). When the chlorine has completed its work on cleaning your pool water, it reforms back into salt. It does not use up any salt through this process. The advantages of salt in swimming pools, apart from the sanitizing effect are the pleasantness of the water, lack of red eyes from prolonged bathing, convenience, lower chemical costs and the fact that asthma and hay fever sufferers can now swim in and under water without adverse symptoms.

Unlike other hypochlorite generators, Piscinadimare.it system does not need any hypochlorite solution intermediate storage: the produced hypochlorite solution is dosed in the process on a continuous basis and rate of production is directly controlled according to instantaneous process needs.
Not having any intermediate storage tank allows to avoid the problem of H2 developing from solution into tank, (and related problems of explosion when this gas is present in specific percentage in air).
Moreover there is no possibility of hypochlorite solution decay due to storage, that may lead to loss of oxidising power and to presence of undesired substances in solution.
Process control carried out on a continuous basis allows to produce only the hypochlorite quantity instantaneously required by the process, so avoiding too high dosages that lead to increase of costs and to the need to remove the excess of chlorine before discharging the water.
