WHAT TO DO WITH BY-PRODUCTS

If there is no use for the by-products, both solutions can be poured into the same

bucket to neutralize into saline water.

1. Chlorine

The chlorine solution may be used as a household disinfectant and cleaning agent.

Dilute the solution by at least 1/2 with water.

2. Sodium Hydroxide

The sodium hydroxide solution can be re-used in the side of the chlorine generator

labeled SODIUM HyDROxIDE. This will help the unit start much faster than if plain

water is used in this side.
The sodium hydroxide may be used to kill mosquito larvae and deodorize latrines.

Dilute solution as needed.
