Systems and apparatus for producing electrolyzed alkaline and oxidizing water

Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for cleaning materials, such as flooring and upholstery. In some cases, the systems and methods use an electrolytic cell to electrolyze a solution comprising sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, sodium percarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and/or any other suitable chemical to generate electrolyzed alkaline water and/or electrolyzed oxidizing water. In some cases, the cell comprises a recirculation loop that recirculates anolyte through an anode compartment of the cell. In some cases, the cell further comprises a senor and a processor, where the processor is configured to automatically change an operation of the cell, based on a reading from the sensor. In some cases, a fluid flows past a magnet before entering the cell.In some additional cases, fluid from the cell is conditioned by being split into multiple conduits that run in proximity to each other. Additional implementations are described.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaning system, comprising:
 a vehicle comprising an electrolytic cell that comprises:
 an anode compartment comprising an anode; 
 a cathode compartment comprising a cathode; and 
 a recirculation loop that is configured to recirculate the anolyte through the anode compartment.
