ʻO ka ʻōnaehana electrolytic chlorination wai kai he ʻōnaehana electrochlorination i hoʻohana kūikawā ʻia e mālama i ka wai kai. Hoʻohana ia i ke kaʻina hana electrolysis e hoʻohua i ke kinoea chlorine mai ka wai kai, a laila hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ka disinfection a me ka disinfection kumu. ʻO ke kumu kumu o ka ʻōnaehana electrolytic chlorination wai kai like me ka ʻōnaehana electrochlorination maʻamau. Eia nō naʻe, ma muli o nā ʻano ʻokoʻa o ka wai kai, aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa nui. Loaʻa i ka wai kai ka nui o nā paʻakai, e like me ka sodium chloride, ma mua o ka wai maʻemaʻe. I loko o kahi ʻōnaehana electrochlorination wai kai, hele mua ka wai kai i kahi pae hoʻomaʻamaʻa mua e wehe i nā haumia a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea ʻala. A laila, hāʻawi ʻia ka wai kai i hoʻomaʻamaʻa mua ʻia i loko o kahi cell electrolytic, kahi e hoʻohana ʻia ai kahi au uila e hoʻololi i nā ion chloride i loko o ke kai i loko o ke kinoea chlorine ma ka anode. Hiki ke hōʻiliʻili ʻia ke kinoea chlorine i hana ʻia a hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o nā lako wai kai no ka hana disinfection, e like me nā ʻōnaehana hoʻomaha, nā mea kanu desalination a i ʻole nā ​​​​pahu o waho. Hiki ke hoʻomalu ʻia ke ʻano o ka chlorine e like me ke kiʻekiʻe o ka disinfection i makemake ʻia a hiki ke hoʻoponopono ʻia e hoʻokō i nā kūlana maikaʻi o ka wai. Nui nā pono o nā ʻōnaehana electrochlorination wai kai. Hāʻawi lākou i ka hāʻawi mau ʻana o ke kinoea chlorine me ka ʻole o ka pono e mālama a mālama i ke kinoea chlorine pōʻino. Hoʻohui ʻia, hāʻawi lākou i kahi ʻokoʻa pili i ke kaiapuni i nā ʻano chlorination kuʻuna, ʻoiai lākou e hoʻopau i ka pono no ka lawe ʻana i nā kemika a hōʻemi i ka wāwae kalapona e pili ana i ka hana chlorine. Ma keʻano holoʻokoʻa, ʻo ka ʻōnaehana electrochlorination wai kai kahi hopena disinfection wai kai kūpono a maikaʻi e hōʻoia i kona palekana a me ka maikaʻi i nā noi like ʻole.
