THIS MACHINE GENERATES CHLORINE GAS TO PURIFY
WATER. IT DOES SO SAFELY WHEN USED AS INTENDED
BY PEOPLE WITH PROPER TRAINING. BUT IT CAN BE
DANGEROUS IF YOU DO NOT USE IT CORRECTLY.
The WaterStep M-100 CHLORINE GENERATOR uses
salt (sodium chloride, or NaCl) and direct current (DC)
electricity to produce chlorine gas (Cl2) and sodium
hydroxide (NaOH). You should use this machine only
after you get proper training on how to run it and
monitor chlorine levels.
Chlorine destroys disease-causing organisms in water and
is the most commonly used disinfectant in all regions of the world. It does not kill
all viruses, bacteria or protozoa.
Chlorine does NOT remove salt from salt water. It does NOT remove toxic chemicals.
So water treated with this machine could still contain harmful chemicals.
When possible, you should get your source water tested by a certified lab to see what
it has in it.
The M-100 can chlorinate water up to a level of 5 parts per million, but no third party
or government agency has tested this machine for how effectively it kills bacteria or
other microbes or viruses. Use this machine and the water it produces at your own risk.
DANGER: This device produces chlorine gas (Cl2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
Chlorine gas is poisonous – which is why it kills
bacteria and other microbes. But it is also poisonous
to humans and animals. If you breathe it in, it can
burn your lungs. It can also burn your eyes and
your skin.
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) can cause severe skin
irritation and burns.
Use this machine in a well-ventilated area. Do not breathe in gas from any ports or
tubes. Handle the liquid chlorine and sodium hydroxide it produces very carefully, and
put them only in bottles with large, clear labels.
