Answers would no doubt be in the many other posts but I'm not having much luck finding exactly what I want to know...
Some questions...
1. The chlorinator output control knob - is this just a variable resistor? Cranking this to max lowers the resistance thus increasing the current through the chlorinator plates?
2. The chlorinator output meter - this is nothing more than just a calibrated ammeter?
3. If the chlorinator plates are old and the coating is worn down, thus the plates are not producing chlorine efficiently anymore, this won't have an impact on the current flow, thus, the output meter could still read 100% even though the chlorine output is not good?
4. There are 3 wires going to the cell, black, red, white. I presume the white is connected to a probe that checks for a closed circuit (I.e. Back to red or black) to ensure there is water in the cell housing?
5. The coating on the plates isn't a catalyst per se, it's actually slowly consumed by the chlorination process?
6. Without the coating, the titanium plates would still produce chlorine, but not as much? Somehow the coating stimulates more chlorine production?
Cheers,
Scott.
