The present invention relates to a method and electrolytic cell for making hypochlorous acid (HClO) by electrolysis of an aqueous chloride solution circulating through a generally closed-loop system. The electrolytic cell includes a first electrode comprising a plurality of first wires which are generally spaced from each other, and a second electrode comprising a plurality of second wires generally spaced from each other. The first wires are juxtaposed with the second wires so as to form a passageway for enabling the flow of the chloride solution therebetween. The two electrodes are carried within a housing which includes an inlet opening and an outlet opening coupled to a conduit and spaced on the housing for guiding the flow of the chloride solution over the electrodes. Electronics are provided for impressing an electrical potential of opposing polarity onto the first and second electrodes, thereby enabling the electrolysis of the chloride solution therebetween.
