Hypochlorite Onsite generator
(Preview)
I ran across a company that makes hypochlorite generators that can produce on demand hypochlorite from 40 to 4000 gallons per day depending on the size of unit needed. The technology is the same as used in the chloro-alkali industry, just on a smaller scale. Has anyone seen or tried this?
