i forgot to mention that the positive wire from the cell goes to the ammeter, then out of the ammeter to the negative on the transformer secondary. i know, it seems as though the cell and the SCR's are hooked up in reverse to what you would expect it to be, but pool chlorinator designers do it this way so it is clear that the brown return wire from the cell is going into the ammeter and leaving the ammeter to ground.

Hi @ Yarnzi, I (and many others) am super interested in a sketch of the circuit you described to power the salt water generator. I understand that you have zero liability in the circuit and are providing it as is.

 

A circuit diagram for a chlorinator is attached, along with the software to run it.

Hi everyone, very interesting post! Did somebody build a controler finally? @yarnzi I miss your schema...
I'd like to read more info about controlling SWCG, can't find better info than here... Can you, guys, help me?

 

I make arduino chlorinators all the time.

Do you sell them premade somewhere?
