WHAT THE CHLORINE GENERATOR DOES

The WaterStep M-100 Chlorine Generator was developed in response to a need that 

affects nearly 1 billion people around the globe . . . unsafe drinking water.  In fact, 

waterborne disease claims more lives each day than armed conflict, HIV/AIDS, and 

cancer combined.
For more than 140 years, chlorine has been added to water to kill disease-causing 

bacteria and pathogens. The WaterStep M-100 Chlorine Generator is designed as a 

portable, affordable way to chlorinate water for the purpose of eliminating waterborne 

pathogens.
Through the process of electrolysis, the M-100 Chlorine Generator creates chlorine gas 

from salt water. The chlorine gas, which evenly disburses throughout the water, kills 

the waterborne bacteria in 2 hours.
As contaminated water circulates through the system, chlorine gas is injected into the 

water. When the water has reached the recommended chlorine level - 5 PPM (parts per 

million) - and still has 2 PPM chlorine level after setting for two or more hours, the 

waterborne pathogens are killed.
This chlorine generator does not remove salt from seawater or remove heavy metals 

or chemicals from the water.
