Setsi sa metsi a leoatle a electrolytic chlorination ke sistimi ea electrochlorination e sebelisoang ka ho khetheha ho phekola metsi a leoatle. E sebelisa mokhoa oa electrolysis ho hlahisa khase ea chlorine metsing a leoatle, e ka sebelisoang bakeng sa ho bolaea likokoana-hloko le merero ea ho bolaea likokoana-hloko. Molao-motheo oa tsamaiso ea metsi a leoatle a electrolytic chlorination o tšoana le oa mokhoa o tloaelehileng oa electrochlorination. Leha ho le joalo, ka lebaka la litšobotsi tse ikhethang tsa metsi a leoatle, ho na le phapang e itseng ea bohlokoa. Metsi a leoatle a na le letsoai le lengata, joalo ka sodium chloride, ho feta metsi a hloekileng. Metsing ea metsi a leoatle a electrochlorination, metsi a leoatle a qala ho feta mothating oa ho hloekisa pele ho tlosa litšila leha e le life kapa ntho e itseng. Joale, metsi a leoatle a hloekisitsoeng pele a tšeloa ka seleng ea electrolytic, moo motlakase o sebelisoang ho fetola li-ion tsa chloride metsing a leoatle hore e be khase ea chlorine sebakeng sa anode. Khase ea chlorine e hlahisoang e ka bokelloa le ho kenngoa ka har'a phepelo ea metsi a leoatle bakeng sa merero ea ho bolaea likokoana-hloko, joalo ka lisebelisoa tsa ho pholisa, limela tsa ho ntša letsoai kapa lipolanete tse ka thōko ho leoatle. Tekanyo ea chlorine e ka laoloa ho latela boemo bo lakatsehang ba ho bolaea likokoana-hloko 'me e ka lokisoa ho finyella litekanyetso tse khethehileng tsa boleng ba metsi. Litsamaiso tsa metsi a leoatle a electrochlorination li na le melemo e mengata. Ba fana ka phepelo e tsoelang pele ea khase ea chlorine ntle le tlhoko ea ho boloka le ho sebetsana le khase e kotsi ea chlorine. Ho feta moo, ba fana ka mokhoa o mong oa tikoloho ho latela mekhoa ea setso ea chlorination, kaha ba felisa tlhoko ea lipalangoang tsa lik'hemik'hale le ho fokotsa khabone e amanang le tlhahiso ea chlorine. Ka kakaretso, tsamaiso ea metsi a leoatle a electrochlorination ke tharollo e sebetsang le e sebetsang ea ho thibela likokoana-hloko ea metsi a leoatle e tiisang polokeho le boleng ba eona lits'ebetsong tse fapaneng.
