Abstract
This disclosure relates to a biocide generating apparatus for discharging a biocide into a water system. The biocide generating apparatus includes a housing having a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet is for receiving water from the water system, and the water outlet is for discharging water containing the biocide into the water system. The biocide generating apparatus also includes an electrode assembly and an electrical circuit. The electrode assembly has a first electrode and a second electrode positioned within the housing for generating the biocide in the water within the housing. The electrical circuit is used to establish a current flow between the first and second electrodes of the electrode assembly for generating the biocide in the water within a first chamber electrolytic cell. A flow sensor, such as an ultrasonic flow sensor, is provided for sensing the water flow through the housing.
