1.4 I Operating principle
The chlorinator is composed of an
electrolytic cell
(containing electrodes) and a
control box
.
When the salt water from the swimming pool passes through the cell, the current generated by the electrodes
creates an electrolytic reaction which transforms the chloride ions (from the salt in the swimming pool) into chlorine
gas. Chlorine gas is a powerful disinfectant and is instantly dissolved in water. It then reverts back into salt under the
action of UV radiation and also because of the need for disinfectant resulting from use of the pool (organic matter).
The chlorinator therefore generates a
cyclic reaction
designed to
produce chlorine
.
