Solar Salt Water Generator

I just saw this and wow, it is not very big but it would be great for a spa or small pool

MC12 Solar Panel Electrode - ControlOMatic

Solar powered salt water chlorination is the greenest form of chlorinating a pool. Make your own chlorine out of salt that was added to the water and with an Eco-friendly solar panel there is no drain on the electrical grid. There is just the one time charge for the salt and the MC12 system...

Interesting DIY project. Although I can't find "MegaChlor MC12 electrode" on Amazon.

At 0.3 lbs/day of chlorine generation it can raise a 5,000 gallon pool/spa by 3 ppm if the sun is shining for 10 hours.

Some of the statements are odd. Like if you want to create more chlorine, move water across the cell so it removes the chlorine quicker? Huh?

Doing more research I guess it works ok but not great.. Still interesting..

When I had there inline system it worked great..
