Smart electrochlorination device improves water quality:

Designed and developed by Cascade Design Inc. (CDI), the  new Smart Electrochlorinator 200 (SE200) device, is a water treatment device which is ideally suited for use by communities, companies, institutions, schools and households.

The SE200 turns salt water into a disinfecting solution that is similar to bleach, but more effective.  This solution of mixed oxidants can be used to make water safe to drink, or to sterilize hard surfaces in cooking areas and hospitals.

The SE200 has passed the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA’s) Guide Standard and Protocol for Microbiological Purifiers as it inactivates viruses, bacteria, protozoan cysts Giardia and Crytosporidium in clean and dirty waters.  The SE200 can quickly purify water from any source.  The device has unlimited shelf life and the shelf life of the batteries ranges from 7 to 10 years.  It is economical and reliable, and no pumping is required to make it work.  This product has been field tested in Kenya by PATH:

As part of a pilot program, Beacon Ahead evaluated the use and performance of the SE200 in India.  

The SE200 is an ideal device for communities, schools, business offices, institutions, commercial establishments and households where there is a need to treat large quantities of drinking water.  The use of the SE200 will improve health and save money.

While the SE200 is converting your salty water into mixed-oxidants, it lights up and the gas bubbles fill the solultion, so it's really easy to see (and smell) that the chlorine is being made.
