Abstract:
1. A chlorinator for a wastewater treatment system for delivering a uniform volume of liquid disinfectant per pump cycle, said wastewater treatment system having a discharge pump and a pressure relief valve, said discharge pump operating during a pump cycle, said chlorinator comprising: a disinfectant reservoir container, said disinfectant reservoir container adapted to contain a volume of disinfectant fluid therein; a dosage container, said dosage container positioned below said disinfectant reservoir container, said dosage container in fluid communication with said disinfectant reservoir container via a dosage passageway; a flow pump adapted to operably connect to said return line; a disinfectant fluid line having a dosage container end and a pump end, said disinfectant fluid line in fluid communication with said dosage container and in fluid communication with said flow pump, said disinfectant fluid line dosage container end positioned in said dosage container, said dosage container end of said disinfectant fluid line in said dosage container defining said uniform volume of liquid disinfectant per pump cycle, said disinfectant fluid line having a minimum cross-sectional area, said cross-sectional area of said disinfectant fluid line sized in excess of said minimum cross-sectional area of said dosage passageway to preclude more than negligible addition to said uniform volume of liquid disinfectant per pump cycle; and a venting member having a vent, said venting member having a vent in communication with said dosage container.
