IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1

WaterStep M-100 Chlorine Generator

When using the water chlorinator, basic 

safety precautions should always be 

followed:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Only allow responsible adults, who are 

  familiar with the instructions, to operate 

  the chlorine generator.
3. The chlorine generator produces by- 

  products of liquid chlorine and sodium 

  hydroxide. Use caution when draining

  the unit of these by-products. Rinse 

  any spills immediately.
4. Store these by-products in bottles that 

  are not used for drinking. Using a 

  permanent marker, clearly mark the 

  bottles “Chlorine” and “Sodium 

  Hydroxide,” respectively. Also write,    

  in large words, “POISON - DO NOT 

  DRINK.” These by-products can be 

  harmful or fatal if swallowed.
5. The side of the chlorine generator 

  labeled CHLORINE produces chlorine 

  gas when the unit is operated as 

  instructed. 

Do not open the fill tube 

  and breathe the fumes.

  6.  When draining and rinsing the chlorine 

    generator, be careful not to spill 

    chlorine or sodium hydroxide on your 

    skin or clothes, or splash it in your 

    eyes. It is recommended you wear 

    eye protection.
  7.  To protect against shock, never place 

    tools on/near the 12-volt battery.
  8.  Do not leave the chlorine generator 

    running unattended.
  9.  Avoid over-chlorinating the water 

    by testing chlorine level frequently 

    as instructed in this manual. If the 

    water is over-chlorinated, add water 

    to dilute the chlorine to 5 PPM (parts 

    per million).
10. Do not operate below the minimum 

    fill line to avoid damaging the unit!

11. SEE WARNINGS ON PAGE 2.
