Patent attributes
A chlorinator configured to produce one or more sanitizing agents from a solute dissolved in water is provided. The chlorinator comprises an operational unit defining an electrolysis chamber for flow therethrough of the water, electrolyzing electrodes for the electrolysis, and a control unit having a housing containing therewithin a chlorinator controller for directing operation of the electrolyzing electrodes. The chlorinator further comprises an electronic flow sensor comprising a pair of spaced-apart sensing electrodes projecting into the electrolysis chamber, and a circuit closeable by electrically connecting the sensing electrodes. The electronic flow sensor is configured to detect a flow condition when the circuit is closed, and to detect a non-flow condition when the circuit remains open.
