Electrolytic biocide-generating device

A biocide-generating device, comprising:

• a main housing defining a chamber, the main housing including a canister body having an open end and a closed end, the canister body having inlet and outlet ports in fluid communication with the chamber, wherein the main housing also includes a canister cover adapted to be removably secured to the open end of the canister body to close the open end of the canister body;
• an electrode arrangement including first and second electrodes positioned within the chamber for generating biocide within the chamber;
• and
• a control assembly including:
• a circuitry housing that removably mounts at a top of the canister cover, the circuitry housing being installable on and removable from the canister cover while an interior of the circuitry housing remains enclosed;
• a power cord that extends into the circuitry housing for providing electric power to the electrode arrangement;
• and
• a circuit arrangement housed within the circuitry housing, the circuit arrangement including a power conversion circuit for providing power conversion to the electric power provided to the electrode arrangement from the power cord, the circuit arrangement also including switching circuitry for switching a polarity of the first and second electrodes.
