Abstract

A disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water includes a bracket for mounting a housing on a wall of a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water. The housing is releasable mounted relative to said bracket and contains a compartment wherein a halogen-producing electrode configuration is removably mounted relative to the compartment. An electrical cable is operatively connected to the halogen producing electrode configuration for providing electrical power thereto.

Claims (19)

1. A disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water comprising:

a bracket adapted to be mounted on a wall of a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water;

a disposable housing containing a compartment, said housing being releasable mounted relative to said bracket;

a halogen-producing electrode configuration being removably mounted relative to said compartment in said housing; and

an electrical cable is operatively connected to said halogen producing electrode configuration for supplying electrical power thereto;

said halogen-producing electrode configuration is positioned within the compartment in the housing and a cover with a plurality of apertures is mounted on said housing for covering said halogen-producing electrode configuration positioned within said compartment.

2. The disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water according to claim 1 , wherein said halogen producing electrode configuration is positioned on a mounting member that is received within said compartment.

3. The disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water according to claim 2 , wherein said halogen producing electrode configuration includes electrical plates and further including a cover for positioning on said mounting member and for protecting the electrical plates.

4. The disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water according to claim 1 , wherein said housing including a plurality of apertures for permitting water to flow into said compartment within said housing for producing chlorine gas which combines with the water to form sodium hypochlorite.

5. A disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water comprising:

a bracket adapted to be mounted on a wall of a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water;

a disposable housing containing a compartment, said housing being releasable mounted relative to said bracket;

a halogen-producing electrode configuration being removably mounted relative to said compartment in said housing;

an electrical cable is operatively connected to said halogen producing electrode configuration for supplying electrical power thereto; and

an extension member for mounting said housing a predetermined distance below a water line in the swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water, said extension member extends from said bracket to conceal a portion of said electrical cable and to mount said housing at a predetermined distance below the water line in the swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water.

6. The disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water according to claim 5 , wherein said halogen-producing electrode configuration is positioned within the compartment in the housing and a cover with a plurality of apertures is mounted on said housing for covering said halogen-producing electrode configuration positioned within said compartment.

7. The disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water according to claim 5 , wherein said halogen producing electrode configuration is positioned on a mounting member that is received within said compartment.

8. The disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water according to claim 7 , wherein said halogen producing electrode configuration includes electrical plates and further including a cover for positioning on said mounting member and for protecting the electrical plates.

9. The disposable salt chlorine generator for use in conjunction with a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or large vessel of water according to claim 5 , wherein said housing including a plurality of apertures for permitting water to flow into said compartment within said housing for producing chlorine gas which combines with the water to form sodium hypochlorite.
