Abstract

A chlorinator and filter for treating water during the filling of a swimming pool includes a hollow cylindrical tube and a first cap member over one end of the tube, with an opening therein. A nozzle cooperates with the cap member and extends through the opening for directing a stream of water axially through the tube. A second cap member is included over the other end of the tube, with an outlet extending substantially transverse to the access of the tube. A generally cylindrical stick of chlorine is positioned in the tube, the stick being supported by the second cap member against the flow of water from the nozzle. The stick has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tube, such that a substantial surface area of the stick is present for erosion at a relatively high rate, caused by a relatively high water pressure with respect to the pressure of the nozzle.
