Summary:A fluid treatment system having an electrocoagulation unit for treating fluid. In one embodiment, the electrocoagulation unit is has a cathode with an electrically conductive cathode tube surrounding a reactor cell. The reactor cell is provided with a non-electrically conductive reactor shell having a plurality of perforations, a plurality of reactor beads disposed within the reactor shell, and an anode rod disposed within the reactor shell in direct contact with at least a portion of some of the reactor beads. When an electrical current is applied to the anode rod and the cathode tube, an electric gradient is created between the anode rod and the cathode tube ionizing contaminants in a fluid passed from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet.
