Abstract
A method of sanitizing water contained in a spa is provided which comprises installing a chlorine generating cell including a diamond electrode in a filter compartment of the spa, employing a resin-filled calcium remover bag to reduce the hardness of the water, adding salt to the water; and operating the chlorine generating cell to generate chlorine and other sanitizing agents for sanitizing the water.
Claims34
A method of sanitizing water contained in a spa comprising:
- installing a chlorine generating cell in a filter compartment of the spa;
- employing a resin-filled calcium remover bag to reduce the hardness of the water;
- adding salt to the water;
- and
- operating the chlorine generating cell to generate chlorine for sanitizing the water.
Apparatus comprising:
- a spa or tub containing water;
- and
- apparatus for sanitizing the water comprising:
- an electrolytic sanitizing agent generating cell located in a filter compartment of the spa and connected to an electric cable passing through a wall of the spa;
- a calcium remover bag positionable in the spa water and configured to reduce water hardness;
- and
- a pump operable to pull water into the filter compartment, through the sanitizing agent generating cell, then through the pump, and back into the spa.
A method of sanitizing water contained in a spa having a chlorine generating cell disposed in a filter compartment thereof comprising:
- placing a resin-filled calcium remover bag in the spa water to reduce the hardness of the water;
- adding salt to the water;
- and
- operating the spa and the chlorine generating cell to draw the water through the chlorine generating cell and the calcium remover bag to thereby generate chlorine while removing calcium.
