Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Raritan Electrode Pack work?
The electrode pack, when energized during the treatment cycle, uses an electrochemical process to convert dissolved salts in the conductive saltwater into hypochlorous acid, a powerful bactericide.
What is the voltage requirement for the Raritan Electrode Pack?
The Raritan Electrode Pack is designed for 12-volt DC operation.
What is hypochlorous acid and why is it important for water treatment?
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring disinfectant produced by white blood cells in humans and is also found in chlorinated water. It is highly effective at killing a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses, making onboard water safer for consumption and use.
Is the Raritan Electrode Pack compatible with all Raritan hot water heaters?
This specific electrode pack is designed for Raritan 12-volt hot water heaters. Always consult your heater's manual or the product specifications to confirm compatibility.
How often should the Raritan Electrode Pack be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on usage and water conditions, but typically the electrodes have a service life of several years. Regular inspection and maintenance are advised; refer to the Raritan manual for specific replacement guidelines.
