I think I went almost all out on my first electric swimming pool. Saw a similar idea on youtube and gave it some upgrades. What do you all think?
I understand a lot of electrolysis enthusiasts prefer washing soda over baking soda and once I looked up the msds on washing soda, I found out we sell it at work at 98% purity so I bought four pounds of it.
The wire is for hanging larger objects in between the washers on the center stud in the next pic.
And the charger is a good old fashioned manual selectable non-smart charger.
The main negative post is the longest bolt on the left which through the metal perforated strapping, transmits the electricity to all three of the studs and all three of the removable alligator clips of different sizes.
This is a close-up of the center stud which boasts an extra set of large washers in-between two nuts. If I want to utilize the hanging wire, I can wrap it around the object and then place the two ends between the washers and tighten the nut up.
My largest alligator clip, fed through a hanging strap d-ring to keep taught and to raise and lower the object to the desired height. All three clips connect via female spade terminals to a double-male terminal post on the top of each stud.
This is the main positive hookup, a bolt protruding farther out than the others, connecting to the other three via 8Gau red jacketed wire and waterproofed gaskets to the large faced steel plates on the inside.
One of the four 3" x 9" x 3/16" steel plates. Non-stainless and shouldn't be galvanized. I cleaned up the holed area around the terminals with sand paper either way for best connection.
Notched and routed the wood brace for balance and spacing. Also makes a great handle.
Question: any reason I couldn't/shouldn't fabricate a vent hood and air removal fan system so I can run this thing in my garage and vent the gases outside? I mean, it shouldn't even have to be anything huge either, just a plastic enclosure and a vent fan zip tied together to a tube and run that tube out a window or something right?
