Doesn't everybody know that when you pass electricity through salt water you
get chlorine? (Among other products depending on concentration and
temperature). That is how chlorine is made commercially.

Yeah, what a bizarre scam. One could make such a unit from old radio parts
for almost nothing. Or better yet, just buy a gallon of chlorine bleach for
83 cents and dilute it to make 5000 gallons of 10 ppm hypochlorite. If you
want to get fancy, adjust the pH down with a little acid to make the
chlorine more available. This is how swimming pool chlorination works. In
fact, you could probably use a pool chlorine test kit to monitor process
water.
But as you said Klaus, this is probably not a very effective spray in the
field, since it is very weak and has no residual. Fixed copper is probably
far more effective. Dilute hypochlorite might be good for hygenic
production of sprouted seeds or washing produce.
