How to Build a Chlorine Generator Building your own chlorine generator is a pretty simple process. What you are really doing is creating a electric field between 2 anodes or electrodes and using a salt water brine to conduct the 12 volts that will break apart the sodium chloride (salt) elements. This can be done a number of ways, but maybe one of the easiest and cheapest is to use common PVC parts. The most expensive and difficult parts to find will be the electrode material. We can direct you to several websites that have more information about electrode materials if you contact us.
It’s also recommended to use Viton gaskets in between the electrodes as other material doesn’t hold up well to chlorine. After drilling a drain hole in the bottom and cutting slits in the side of the 2 inch PVC cap you can insert the spacer, gaskets, and then the electrodes through the slits so that wires can be attached to them. When the 2 inch PVC pipe is glued to the cap, use a clamp to provide some pressure to the union to prevent leaking. The half piece of 2 inch PVC pipe can be glued with epoxy to act as a protective guard over the wire connections. Variations can be made that will still produce a chlorine solution. Refer to the CPU instructions to operate safely. Good luck!
