Abstract

A chlorinator is used in a swimming pool system having a filter assembly and a pump for circulating water from the pool through the filter assembly and back to the pool. The chlorinator comprises a housing which defines therein a selectively-openable airtight chamber adapted for receiving therein a quantity of water-soluble dry chlorine material. A water inlet port opens to the chamber essentially at the bottom end thereof, and a separate water outlet port opens from the chamber also essentially at the bottom of the chamber. The inlet port is adapted for connection thereto of an adjustably valved duct by which water to be chlorinated can be applied to the inlet port. A check valve is coupled to the outlet port to prevent water flow through the outlet port to the chamber. The chlorinator is connectible in a pool system in parallel to the filter assembly, for example.
