What is the strength of the sodium hypochlorite that the ChlorKing unit produces?
A. The ChlorKing unit continually converts a portion of the salt (NaCl), present in the pool water as a 0.5 % solution, to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), by electrolysis. The amount of hypochlorite produced depends on the DC current passing through the cell and the duration of operation i.e. intermittent or continuous. In this way the cell is operated to give the required concentration of chlorine in the pool water, i.e. typically 2 ppm of equivalent chlorine. * 20 amp DC current = 1 pound per day equivalent chlorine in the form of a hypochlorous acid solution. The actual strength of the hypochlorous acid in the bypass stream flowing through the system will be approximately 25-ppm equivalent chlorine. The chlorine content in this bypass stream is then diluted when it enters filter discharge stream (larger pipe) and then diluted again when it enters the main body of water in the pool.
