Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for the electrolytic production of a solution of an aqueous alkali metal hypochlorite solution. The apparatus is especially useful for chlorinating swimming pools. The single vessel is partitioned horizontally into an upper compartment for the brine and a lower compartment serving as the electrolytic cell and provided with a removable electrode assembly with an electrode spacing of at least 0.5 inch. Brine feeds through and evolved gas emerges through the partition.
