Electrolytic cell and system for treating water

An electrolytic cell for liberating hydrogen from a base solution, comprising:

• a first electrode comprising an upper electrolytic endplate;
• a second electrode comprising a lower electrolytic endplate that is spaced apart from the first electrode;
• a pair of supports independently positioned at opposite ends of the endplates to enclose the opposing sides of the endplates and form a cell chamber, said supports comprising a series of grooves, wherein the supports and series of grooves formed in the supports are placed below the upper electrolytic endplate and above the lower electrolytic endplate to space the endplates apart from each other;
• a pair of end caps independently positioned at opposite ends of the endplates and abutting against the supports to enclose the chamber and;
• a series of inner electrode plates suspended within the cell chamber and which are positioned in the grooves of the supports,
• wherein the inner electrode plates are spaced apart from each other within the cell chamber to form a plurality of individual compartments through which the base solution passes,
• wherein the first and second electrodes are configured to receive an electrical current to provide an electrolytic chemical reaction in the base solution as the base solution passes through the cell chamber, and
• wherein the inner electrode plates and the upper and lower electrolytic endplates are substantially aligned parallel to each other.
