Chlorination for Residual Disinfection
The Flex-Chlorinator™ can be used with any First Water product to provide a second source of disinfection after the ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection, and a residual disinfectant in the cleaned water that stays with the water like chlorinated water from a municipal purification plant. It is an optional addition to the treatment process for use when source water has not been previously treated through a municipal system, is suspected of being heavily contaminated by viruses, or or when local authorities require the chlorination of cleaned water, or when a residual disinfectant is desired to facilitate storing water for long periods of time.
The Flex-Chlorinator™ comes in the same rugged Pelican case that is used with the Responder™. Its unique design is totally “green”, and does not require any power source. The proprietary injection system has been designed to be used with common bleaches such as Clorox. Included with every Flex-Chlorinator™ are two collapsible 5 gallon clear plastic containers used to dilute the bleach. If the containers become lost or damaged, any common 5 gallon water container will work.
Using the Flex-Chlorinator™ couldn’t be easier. The injection system is precisely calibrated to always inject the chlorine in an amount that will not add undesirable taste. Simply place the Flex-Chlorinator next to an Outpost™ or Responder™, add the bleach and water to the dilution tank, hook up the hoses, and it starts working immediately. The amount of chlorine entering the water automatically adjusts based on the flow of water going through the system. Each five gallon container of diluted bleach will last about a day with normal use of the Outpost™, and the only need for an operator is to switch a hose from one dilution tank to the other when the tank becomes empty.
If you are in an area that requires the addition of chlorine to water, the Flex-Chlorinator™ from First Water is the only system that provides the capability in a portable, safe, easy to use mechanism without any power requirements.
