Power supply

Mini-WATA

Mini-WATA Solar power supply

a) Standard power supply: Mini-WATA is supplied with a 5V / 1A transformer, which can simply be plugged to the electricity network (110V or 220V).

b) Solar power supply: an adaptor (power reducer) is fixed to a pair of crocodile clips, which enables its direct coupling with a 10-watt photovoltaic panel from 6V to 18V.

Standard WATA

WATA, Solar power supply

a) Standard power supply: the WATA device is supplied with a 12V/5A electrical transformer, which can be plugged into electricity network (110V or 220V)

b) Solar power supply: WATA can be coupled with a photovoltaic panel of minimum 50 watts. Under this configuration, it must be connected to a charge regulator, itself connected to a car battery (see user guides). In that case, it is important to recharge it after every nine hours of functioning (for a 75 Ah battery) and not to let it unload beyond 50% of its total capacity (voltage under 11.5 V). You must get a voltmeter in order to check that the charged battery delivers minimum 13 volts. Make sure that the battery is connected to the WATA when measuring its voltage with the voltmeter.

The intensity (amperes) of the electric current provided for the electrolysis with WATA has to be as constant as possible, in order to guarantee a concentration of 6 g/L of active chlorine in the solution produced. Photovoltaic cells can hardly deliver such a constant current intensity. It is therefore necessary to make use of a battery simultaneously to using a solar power (as shown in the user guide). This way, the current intensity’s variations are buffered and passing clouds, for example, thus do not reduce the device’s production rate.

Partnership with Iland Green Technologies

Antenna has started a partnership with ILAND Green Technologies, a swiss company offering solutions in the field of solar technologies. Their solar panels combined with a battery are totally adapted to the production of chlorine with a standard WATA device.

Maxi-WATA

Maxi-WATA with connections

Maxi-WATA is supplied with a 720-watt transformer delivering 24 volts direct current and 30 amperes, which are required for its functioning. All you need to do is connect the transformer to the electricity network (220V) or to a generator. For safety reasons, both options have to be earthed.
