Abstract

A water treatment system ( 10 ) includes an ozone generator ( 3 ) combined with an electrolytic chlorine generator ( 4010 ) in a compact, efficient and serviceable assembly. The system ( 10 ) may include a modular and replaceable ozone generator ( 3 ), which allows a damaged or non-functional ozone generator ( 3 ) to be quickly and efficiently replaced. In order to protect the ozone generator ( 3 ) from damage, a fail-safe drain valve assembly may also be provided which will expel backflowing pool water before it is allowed to backflow into the ozone generator ( 3 ). The water treatment system ( 10 ) may further include an insulated electrolytic chlorine generator ( 4010 ) that mitigates or eliminates leakage current for efficient operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A water treatment system configured for use with a pool, the water treatment system comprising:
a fluid passageway in fluid communication with the pool; and
an electrolytic chlorine generator disposed in the fluid passageway and including:
an insulating frame;
a first electrode plate supported by the insulating frame and having a first side edge;
a second electrode plate supported by the insulating frame and having a second side edge positioned adjacent to the first side edge of the first electrode plate; and
an insulating separator positioned between the first and second electrode plates, the insulting separator protruding outward beyond the first and second side edges.

2. The water treatment system of claim 1 , wherein the insulating separator contacts the first electrode plate and is spaced apart from the second electrode plate.

3. The water treatment system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second electrode plates are made of titanium.
