Abstract
A portable apparatus for generating chlorine from common salt preferably includes a base with a passageway in it, a first liquid-holder extending upward from the base in fluid communication with one end of the passageway, and a second liquid-holder extending upward from the base in fluid communication with the other end of the passageway. An anode and a cathode are disposed in the passageway, with an ion-selective membrane positioned between them. The electrodes preferably include an electrolyte-contacting portion positioned in the passageway, and an electrical connection portion that extends outward away from the passageway. An electrode-holder effective to prevent liquid from leaking out of the passageway is preferably included on each electrode. Sight tubes to facilitate observation of the liquid levels in the liquid-holders are also preferably included, as is a handle to facilitate carrying and/or hanging the generator.
