A METHOD FOR REMOVAL OF SOLID DEPOSITS FROM ELECTRODE SURFACES IN WATER DISINFECTING SYSTEMS USING ELECTROLYTIC CELLS, AND A DEVICE FOR USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a device for removal of solid deposits from surfaces of electrodes of a DC electrolytic cell for disinfecting of water in a closed system, especially in a swimming pool, SPA or hot tub, by simultaneous spinning the water over the electrode surfaces a nd electrolytic release of the deposits from the surfaces without interruption of the disinfecting process, comprising: (a) changing the polarity of the electrodes of the cell at predetermined frequency for electochemically releasing the deposited scale from the electrode surfaces; (b) circulating t he water through a hydrocyclone containing a DC electrolytic cell for disinfecting of the water so that said deposits are washed off the electrode s of the cell; (c) periodical removing the scale particles from a drain chambe r located at the bottom of the hydrocyclone.
