I will be buying a house that comes with a hot tub soon. A co-worker mentioned a chlorine generator type treatment system (I previously had no idea that one existed). I looked these systems up on the internet and there are several available commercially, but are quite spendy. I was wondering what would be necessary to put one together myself...
Essentially, you add table sale NaCl to the water to the point that it is "nearly salty". The Cl is separated from the Na via an electrical current (anode/cathode), the chlorine is now free to "kill" the bacteria, etc. and when done is re-attached to the previously freed Na. A very basic eplanation, but that's, essentially, the description from one of the pages that I looked at.
Any ideas?
