Chlorine Heating Element

The plastics and particularly PVC used in chlorination systems can be destroyed by liquid chlorine within
a very short time. The various parts swell up and then break down in flakes.

The nature of the damage depends to some extent on the process by which the plastic is manufactured. Utmost care must therefore be taken to prevent liquid chlorine reaching the various equipment parts.

Liquid chlorine and residues in the pipes form a greasy substance impairing the correct functioning
of downstream equipment parts.
