1. A chlorine generator, comprising:
a housing defining a first chamber and a second chamber, the housing including a water inlet for receiving water into the first chamber and a water outlet for outputting water from the first chamber, the housing including a wall positioned between the first chamber and the second chamber;
an electrode arrangement positioned within the first chamber including one or more first electrode plates and one or more second electrode plates, the electrode arrangement also including terminal posts;
circuitry integrated with a circuit board, the circuit board being positioned within the second chamber to control a flow of electrical current between the one or more first electrode plates and the one or more second electrode plates, thereby generating chlorine within the first chamber, and
a heat transfer structure including the terminal posts, wherein the terminal posts act as thermal pathways to transfer heat from the circuitry to the electrode arrangement;
wherein the terminal posts extend from the first chamber through the wall into the second chamber and are aligned with openings in the circuit board.
