SALT WATER ELECTROLYSIS
-THE SENSIBLUE WAY-
The water flow is driving the generator (A). The minimum flow needed is 0,2 bar (2 meters of water pressure).
A small amount of water is diverted to the salt container (B) and electrolysis cell (D).
The generator is creating enough power to power the embedded controller (C), electrolysis cell (D) and status LED light (E).
In the electrolysis cell (D) the salt, the water and the controlled current are creating exactly the right amount of Sodium hypochlorite (active chlorine).
The chlorinated water from the electrolysis cell (D) is diverted back to the main water flow coming from the generator (A) and kills all known bacteria and viruses that could have been present in the water.
SCHEMATIC OVERVIEW OF THE WATER DISINFECTION PROCESS:
The uniqueness (and patented part) of this process is that the water flow is generating exactly enough power to create enough chlorinated water that is needed to disinfect the water safely without affecting the taste of the drinking water.
The chlorinated water will remove any bacteria and viruses present in the biofilm as well as reduce the amount of protozoa when it is given enough time to disinfect. Secondly it has a lasting, residual disinfecting effect on all connected water piping and water storage and will continue to disinfect as long as it remains active in the water.
As the Sensiblue does not remove any particles or chemicals nor does it kill all protozoa that are present in the water. As these substances have a negative effect on the disinfection abilities of the Sensiblue and drinkability of the water, we strongly recommend adding a microfilter (candle) with a minimum filter capacity of 5 µm in front of the Sensiblue (as with any other disinfection method).
