Maintaining crystal-clear, safe swimming pool water is a constant challenge—balancing sanitation, preventing algae growth, and avoiding harsh chemical overuse. Titanium anode assemblies have emerged as a game-changer in pool maintenance, offering a durable, efficient alternative to traditional chlorine tablets or saltwater generators. Here’s how they work and why they’re becoming a staple in both residential and commercial pools.
How Titanium Anode Assemblies Work in Pools
A typical titanium anode assembly for pools consists of several key components:
Titanium anode rods (coated with mixed metal oxides like ruthenium or iridium oxide) that act as catalysts.
A power supply that delivers a low-voltage current to the anodes.
A mounting frame (often PVC or stainless steel) to position the anodes in the pool’s circulation system, usually near the filter or return lines.
When energized, the anodes trigger electrolysis in the pool water. In saltwater pools (with 2,500–3,500 ppm salinity), this process splits chloride ions to generate chlorine gas, which dissolves into hypochlorous acid—a natural sanitizer that kills bacteria and algae. In freshwater pools, the system can still work with minimal salt added, reducing reliance on store-bought chlorine.
Key Features for Swimming Pools
1. Consistent Sanitization Without Chemical Spikes
Traditional chlorine dosing often leads to fluctuating levels—too little, and algae blooms; too much, and eyes sting, swimsuits fade. Titanium anode assemblies produce a steady stream of chlorine, maintaining levels between 1–3 ppm (ideal for safe swimming).
2. Durability in Chlorine-Rich Environments
Pool water is harsh: high chlorine, pH swings, and constant exposure to sunlight. Titanium’s natural resistance to corrosion, paired with a mixed metal oxide coating, makes these assemblies last 5–8 years—far longer than stainless steel anodes, which often degrade within 2 years.
3. Reduced Chemical Handling and Costs
No more hauling heavy chlorine buckets or storing volatile tablets. Titanium anode systems use the pool’s existing salt (or a small initial dose) to generate sanitizer, cutting chemical costs by 30–50% annually.
4. Gentle on Skin and Equipment
Over-chlorinated water irritates skin and eyes, and harsh chemicals can corrode pool liners, ladders, and pumps. Titanium anode systems produce “softer” chlorine (hypochlorous acid) that’s less irritating, while their steady output avoids the pH crashes that damage equipment.
Practical Applications
Residential Pools: Compact assemblies (3–5 anodes) fit easily into standard filtration systems, ideal for 10,000–30,000 gallon pools. They integrate with smart pool controllers, adjusting output based on water flow and temperature.
Commercial Pools: Larger setups (10+ anodes) handle public pools, water parks, and hotel facilities.
Saltwater Pools: Enhance existing salt systems by replacing worn stainless steel anodes with titanium ones, extending the system’s life and reducing salt consumption.

production
1. Substrate treatment: it needs to be treated by roughing, cleaning and removing oil, which can increase the compactness of catalytic.
2. Brushing coating:After substrate treatment, it will be proceeded brush coated. The main coated content is platinum group metal, which is a kind of mixed solution.Then, heat treatment will be going on after drying.The whole procedure need to be repeated many times. This method is better to form thin oxide catalytic that is lamellar adhere to substrate surface.
