Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a biocide-generating device for outputting a biocide to a water system. The biocide generating device includes a housing having a water inlet for receiving water from the water system and a water outlet for outputting water containing biocide to the water system. The biocide-generating device also includes an electrode arrangement having first and second electrodes positioned in the housing for generating biocide in the water within the housing, and an electrical power circuit for establishing a flow of electrical current between first and second electrodes of the electrode arrangement for generating the biocide in the water within the first chamber electrolytic cell. A flow sensor such as an ultrasonic flow sensor is provided for sensing water flow through the housing.
