Electro-chlorination ea metsi a leoatle ke mokhoa o sebelisang matla a motlakase ho fetola metsi a leoatle hore e be sebolaea-mafu se matla se bitsoang sodium hypochlorite. Sanitizer ena hangata e sebelisoa lits'ebetsong tsa leoatleng ho hloekisa metsi a leoatle pele a kena ka har'a litanka tsa ballast tsa sekepe, lisebelisoa tsa ho pholisa le lisebelisoa tse ling. Nakong ea electro-chlorination, metsi a leoatle a pompeloa ka sele ea electrolytic e nang le li-electrode tse entsoeng ka titanium kapa lisebelisoa tse ling tse sa senyang. Ha motlakase o otlolohileng o sebelisoa ho li-electrode tsena, o baka karabelo e fetolang letsoai le metsi a leoatle hore e be sodium hypochlorite le lihlahisoa tse ling. Sodium hypochlorite ke ntho e matla ea oxidizing e sebetsang ho bolaea libaktheria, likokoana-hloko le likokoana-hloko tse ling tse ka silafatsang ballast ea sekepe kapa mekhoa ea ho pholisa. E boetse e sebelisetsoa ho hloekisa metsi a leoatle pele a khutlela ka leoatleng. Metsi a leoatle a electro-chlorination e sebetsa hantle haholo 'me e hloka tlhokomelo e fokolang ho feta mekhoa ea phekolo ea lik'hemik'hale e tloaelehileng. Hape ha e hlahise lihlahisoa tse kotsi, ho qoba tlhokahalo ea ho tsamaisa le ho boloka lik'hemik'hale tse kotsi ka sekepeng.

Ka kakaretso, metsi a leoatle a electro-chlorination ke sesebelisoa sa bohlokoa sa ho boloka tsamaiso ea leoatle e hloekile ebile e sireletsehile le ho sireletsa tikoloho linthong tse silafatsang tse kotsi.
