Abstract:
A system for dechlorinating potable water by mixing chlorinated water with an additive including ascorbic acid, comprising:a source of chlorinated water;a destination of dechlorinated water;a source of the additive;structure defining a main passageway, a bypass passageway, and an injection passageway, where the bypass passageway is in fluid communication with the main passageway at first and second locations and the injection passageway is in fluid communication with an injection portion of the bypass passageway;a first structure for connecting the source of chlorinated water to the main passageway;a second structure for connecting the main passageway to the destination of dechlorinated water;a third structure for connecting the source of the additive to the injection passageway; whereinthe injection portion of the bypass passageway is configured such that the flow of chlorinated water through the bypass passageway causes the additive to flow through the injection passageway, flow into the bypass passageway, and mix with the chlorinated water to form dechlorinated water that flows to the destination of dechlorinated water.
