Chlorine Catchpot

Vacuum chlorinators are made of PVC for consumption of chlorine gas. PVC is absolutely resistant against the chemical attack of gaseous chlorine, but liquid chlorine suddenly destroys PVC.

Therefore the way of installation must avoid liquid chlorine inside the chlorinators.

Most important is a steadily climbing pipe from the tank to the chlorinator to allow drops of chlorine running back into the tank.

Sometimes this is not possible or the flow of chlorine gas doesn´t allow the drops passing the gas flow. Then a catchpot is installed below the chlorinator.

Drops of chlorine are falling down into the catchpot and are simply evaporated by the temperature of the atmosphere.
