OPERATING THE CHLORINE GENERATOR

This process begins after the chlorine generator is assembled. It is assumed you have 

a water tank or cistern containing water you wish to chlorinate. It also assumes that 

you have a means to dispense the water from the tank after it is treated.

WaterStep M-100 Chlorine Generator

BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT

1.  Make sure drain tubes (red and black) 

  at the bottom of the unit are clamped 

  closed by the pinch clamps.
2.  The 1” plug on the fill tube should be 

  hand tight. 

Do not overtighten!

 Tape 

  threads on plug, as needed.

3.  Confirm the air hole on the chlorine 

  side is unobstructed and open to the    

  atmosphere.
4.  Make sure you have a fully charged 

  12-volt DC battery.

•  Place about 400ml of water into the 

  empty water bottle.

•  Using the metal measuring cup, place 

  1-1/2 measures of table salt into the 

  water bottle (this will be about 125 

  grams or 4.5 oz. of salt). If rock salt 

  is used, first pound it to small particles 

  before mixing it with water.

•  Place cap on water bottle and shake 

  the mixture to allow the salt to 

  completely dissolve.

CHLORINATION PROCESS

•  Remove the 

  1” plug from 

  the fill tube.
