An electrolytic cell for generating a mixed oxidant gas for treating bodies of water comprises an anode chamber that is defined by an anode plate at one end, a permeable membrane at an opposite end, and a first sealing gasket interposed therebetween. A cathode chamber is adjacent the anode chamber and is defined by a cathode plate at one end, the permeable membrane at an opposite end, and a second sealing gasket interposed therebetween, the first and second gaskets being separated by the permeable membrane. An anolyte reservoir is external from the anode chamber for accommodating a volume of anolyte therein, and is connected to the anode chamber to circulate anolyte thereto and to receive mixed oxidant gas therefrom. A catholyte reservoir is external from the cathode chamber for accommodating a volume of catholyte therein, and is connected to the cathode chamber to circulate catholyte thereto and to receive gas therefrom. The anolyte within the anolyte reservoir, and the catholyte within the catholyte reservoir, are each maintained at a controlled specific gravity.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] At least one electrolytic cell for generating a mixed oxidant gas for treating bodies of water, each cell comprising:an anode chamber defined by an anode plate at one end, a permeable membrane at an opposite end, and a first sealing gasket interposed therebetween;a cathode chamber adjacent the anode chamber defined by a cathode plate at one end, the permeable membrane at an opposite end, and a second sealing gasket interposed therebetween, the first and second gaskets being separated by the permeable membrane;an anolyte reservoir external from the anode chamber for accommodating a volume of anolyte therein, wherein the anolyte reservoir is connected to the anode chamber to circulate anolyte thereto and to receive mixed oxidant gas therefrom;a catholyte reservoir external from the cathode chamber for accommodating a volume of catholyte therein, wherein the catholyte reservoir is connected to the cathode chamber to circulate catholyte thereto and to receive gas therefrom;means for maintaining the anolyte contained within the anolyte reservoir at a controlled specific gravity;a specific gravity sensor disposed within the catholyte reservoir that when activated causes water to be dispensed into the catholyte reservoir to maintain a controlled catholyte specific gravity therein.
