Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus assembly and method for the electrolytic production of a hypochlorous (HOCl) acid solution are disclosed. A first controlled amount of water, such as tap water, a second controlled amount of an acidic solution (acetic acid or CH3COOH), and a third controlled amount of a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution, preferably from a brine solution, are mixed by injecting the same in a reaction loop comprising an electrolytic reactor configured to electrolyze the mixture into the HOCl solution. Preferably, the electrolytic reactor comprises DSA (dimensionally stable anodes). The mixture is circulated in the reaction loop until the HOCl solution is formed. The assembly can be monitored in real-time and remotely for quality control. The disinfecting solution as produced comprises 330-460 ppm HOCl at a pH between 5 and 6, preferably at a pH of 5.5, the solution being stable at least up to 6 months after being produced.
