Homepage – Elchem Water Treatment

Your solution for future-proof water hygiene.

When it comes to water treatment, the choice is yours – and we offer you the ideal solution for quality, cost-effectiveness and sustainability. The future of water treatment starts here. Our EWT systems combine skin-friendly properties, cost-efficiency and environmentally friendly processes into an unbeatable package.

Gentle on the skin

Say goodbye to the unpleasant chemical odours associated with conventional chlorination. Water treated by an EWT system is gentle on the skin and does not irritate the eyes or mucous membranes. Our system is the ideal choice for pools used by children or people with sensitive skin.

Economically

Enjoy cost savings and cost-effective operation. Our innovative technology not only reduces the need for expensive chemicals, but also significantly lowers operating costs. Thanks to its low energy consumption and durable construction, choosing EWT means investing in cost-effectiveness and quality.

Environmentally friendly

Our advanced technology not only reduces the use of chemicals but also minimises environmental impact in the long term. We take pride in manufacturing systems designed for long-term operation and backward compatibility. Solutions that gently maintain water quality at the highest standard.

Certified and award-winning.

Certifications guarantee our customers and end users the highest standards of quality, safety and legal certainty. With every system we supply, you will receive our EC certificate included in our operating instructions. This means that, whether you are a pool builder, architect or pool user, you can rest assured.

Membrane electrolysis

Thanks to the continuous addition of highly effective chlorine, in the form of hypochlorous acid, the correct amount of active chlorine is present in the water at all times. This means that even people with sensitive skin can enjoy the pool water. Eye and skin irritation, as well as unpleasant swimming pool odours, are avoided.
The cost of producing active chlorine using an electrolysis system is significantly lower than the price of purchasing standard chlorine bleach. The need for pH-regulating maintenance products is drastically reduced. This, in turn, reduces the risk of accidents. Thanks to modern membrane cell technology, there is no salt build-up in the pool water.

The ECO-a System

Our new ECO-a series offers many of the advantages of our previous systems, combined with new developments and improvements specifically designed for use in swimming pools. In particular, the ability to position the salt and product tanks separately from the system ensures maximum user-friendliness in the planning and operation of your swimming pool.
The integrated control system regulates the output and monitors all operating parameters. The hydrogen produced during the process is separated by a degassing vessel and must be vented to the outside. Fresh sodium hypochlorite enters the product tank without the need for an additional pump and can be dosed from there as required.

We are happy to offer our expertise and look forward to being part of your project.

Greenhouses

First-class water quality and a cost-effective, reliable infrastructure. Whatever the volume of water your greenhouse requires, we will design a water treatment system tailored to your needs, ensuring it is economical and requires minimal maintenance.

How does salt electrolysis work?

The chemical process takes place in our specially designed electrolysis cell. The application of an electric current triggers a reaction in the salt solution, producing free chlorine. The water is purified and disinfected to a hygienically impeccable standard, which kills bacteria, algae and other microorganisms. The system and its capacity are specifically scalable and designed to meet the full range of your requirements.

What types of salt electrolysis systems are there?

Membrane electrolysis: The electrolysis cell is separated by a specially developed membrane. At the anode, chlorine is released and injected into the pool in its purest form. Depending on the type of system, the electrolysis output can be adjusted. From small systems for private users to systems for public facilities, any design is possible.

Tube-cell electrolysis: Tube-cell electrolysis reduces transport distances and the need for expensive pool chemicals by producing the required chlorine on-site from standard table salt. The fresh sodium hypochlorite produced by the system is fed directly into the product tank without the need for an additional pump, from where it can be dispensed as required.

Compact flow-through cells: These systems are often designed for smaller pools or hot tubs and incorporate the electrolysis cell within a compact housing. They are easy to install and take up less space; however, the performance range of such a system is limited and the pool water contains salt.
