Abstract
A water discharge dechlorinator unit includes a body having a first end adapted to be removably coupled to a water hydrant, such as a fire hydrant. The body defines a water passageway between an inlet and an outlet thereof. A chamber is in fluid communication with the water passageway and configured for reception of dechlorinating material therein, such as chlorine neutralizing tablets, whereby water from the fire hydrant passes from the water passageway and over the dechlorinating material in the chamber so as to neutralize chlorine in the water before it is discharged from the unit.
Claims19
A fire hydrant water discharge dechlorinator unit, comprising:
- a body having a first end adapted to be removably coupled to a fire hydrant, the body defining a water passageway between an inlet and an outlet thereof;
- and
- a chamber in fluid communication with the water passageway and configured for reception of dechlorinating material therein, whereby water from the fire hydrant passes from the water passageway and over the dechlorinating material in the chamber so as to neutralize chlorine in the water before it is discharged from the body.
A fire hydrant water discharge dechlorinator unit, comprising:
- a swivel having a first end adapted to be removably coupled to a fire hydrant;
- a coupling having a first end attached to a second end of the swivel;
- a barrel attached to a second end of the coupling, the barrel defining a water passageway between an inlet and outlet thereof;
- a chamber extending from the barrel intermediate the inlet and outlet of the barrel in a direction generally non-parallel to the water passageway of the barrel, the chamber having a multi-diameter aperture in fluid communication with the water passageway of the barrel, the chamber configured for reception of dechlorinating material therein such that water is drawn into the chamber and passes over the dechlorinating material and returns to the water passageway of the barrel so as to neutralize chlorine in the water before it is discharged from the dechlorinator unit;
- and
- a diffuser disposed between the fire hydrant connection and a discharge outlet of the dechlorinator unit.
