Time's like this Pandemic Period have few silver linings - but they do cause innovation and revisiting alternative ideas.

With shortages of masks, gloves, TP, and hand sanitizer a number of us have launched into finding and providing solutions.

I started researching sanitizing alternatives and looked at a number - UVC light, Hydrogen Peroxide mist, etc.

Then I found Hypochlorous Acid. I increased my interest when I heard that Delta Airlines was going to spray the airplane cabins between flights to disinfect them. It works in 15 seconds where UVC and bleach solutions take 30 to 60 minutes.

When I became dangerously educated and wanted to buy I realized I owned a huge HOCL reservoir in my own yard. I own a salt water pool - it uses salt and a cell containing polarized plates. In solution salt becomes Na (sodium) and Cl Chloride. When passed over a weak electrical field the CL is broken into two atoms of chlorine (Cl-). They combine with the water elements H and O to form a weak but powerful oxidizer HOCL aka hypochlorous acid. In concentrations above 20ppm it is a very effective sanitizer. If I run my hot tub section full blast for an hour I create a pot of >200ppm HOCL!

Here's a link explained:

PS: After a dip in that hot tub pot I'm sure I'm sanitized for life!

Fascinating! I've seen news photos from around the world and wondered, what is the spray countries are using? Do we know? How is the safety of these sprays, including HOCl, wrt side effects? I sound like a skeptic or worrier, but I'm just very curious.

You may want to re-phrase this. Simply dissolving NaCl in water does not break it chemically. Chloride is the anion Cl− of Chlorine, which is an element. Cl cannot break into two atoms because as part of the NaCl compound there is only one Cl- per one molecule of NaCl.

Chlorine as a substance is a two-atom molecule Cl2, and is gaseous at standard conditions. I hope your chlorinating system does not produce too much of it ;-)
