SHUTTING DOWN THE CHLORINE GENERATOR

Before the unit is completely shut down and stored, have two empty containers - 

each of which will hold up to two liters of liquid. Use a permanent marker to write 

“Chlorine” on one container and “Sodium Hydroxide” on the other container. 

Please write “POISON - DO NOT DRINK” on each bottle, as well.
