Chlorinators meter and deliver a set dosage of chlorine gas from a chlorine cylinder. To do this, gas chlorinators must be operated and maintained properly. This article provides an overview of the steps to operating and maintaining gas chlorinators. The easiest and most safest way to make the connection from gas cylinder to chlorinator is by direct cylinder mounting; step by step instructions are given. A general discussion of interconnection manifold and isolation valve is given for those situations in which several cylinders are used. The ejector is the heart of the system and must be maintained. The check valve assembly keeps water from getting into the regulator; instructions for preventing that and for removing water from the chlorinator are given. Some troubleshooting tips for detecting problems with the chlorinator's vacuum integrity are given.
