Abstract
A metal ion generator for fluids includes a pipe having an insertion aperture positioned between the fluid inlet and fluid exit, and a conductive member configured to be removably secured in the insertion aperture. The conductive member includes a rigid non-conductive extension and a metal bar. When secured in the insertion aperture, the rigid non-conductive extension positions the metal bar into the direct flow of fluid between the fluid inlet and the fluid exit. A power source applies a voltage to the conductive member causing the metal bar to function as an anode and generate metal ions that are transferred into the fluid. The power supply also connects to a cathode such as the pipe or a second conductive member secured in the insertion aperture.
