Abstract:

A chlorine generating apparatus for chlorine treating of a body of water and comprising a pair of concentrically arranged tanks having concentrically arranged access ports, the inner tank being a salt tank and having a perforated portion at the bottom thereof in communication with an anode chamber, and the annulus between the two tanks being a cathode chamber. A salt plug-gas trap assembly is removably secured to the concentric ports of the two tanks, the assembly having a chlorine tube extending therein which is open to the interior of the salt tank for receiving the generated chlorine therefrom and being independently open to the cathode chamber for receiving circulating water therefrom. The chlorine is mixed with the water in the gas trap and the chlorinated water is returned to the body of water being treated by the chlorine generating apparatus.
