chlorinator

Water treatment device

A chlorinator is a device that adds chlorine to water, typically for disinfection.

Swimming pools use chlorinators to maintain sanitary conditions, and municipal water treatment plants use them to make drinking water safe.

The term covers various mechanisms—from simple floating dispensers to automated systems that monitor and adjust chlorine levels.
