1. An electrode arrangement for an electrolytic water purifier comprising:
- an upper electrode bank having one or more upper vertical metallic plates commonly connected to a first terminal;
a first lower electrode bank having one or more vertical metallic plates commonly connected to a second terminal, each lower electrode spaced from, but located vertically adjacent to an upper plate in an edge to edge relationship;
each lower and its adjacent upper plate forming an electrode pair;
a plurality of commonly connected full length electrodes, each extending substantially to the combined length of an electrode pair and connected to a third terminal; and
each electrode pair disposed between two full length electrodes.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for treating water contained in a tank to remove contaminants by passing a current through a novel electrode arrangement characterized by vertically disposed electrodes plates. Positive and negative half length electrode pairs are arranged vertically with respect to one another. Such electrode pairs are used in conjunction with full length, active or passive vertical electrode plates which are each adjacent a vertical pair. Preferably the electrodes and tank are made of aluminium.
