Abstract

A chlorinator apparatus having a cannister with an interior for receiving a plurality of tablets therein, a plate affixed within the cannister and having a surface for supporting one of the tablets thereon, a fluid inlet positioned on the cannister to the plate for directing fluid flow toward the tablet on the plate, and a fluid outlet formed in the cannister so as to pass fluid flow from the cannister. The cannister has a generally cylindrical configuration. A diverter member is affixed to the plate adjacent the fluid inlet so as to divert fluid flow from the fluid inlet, The diverter is a generally V-shaped member having a narrow end adjacent the fluid inlet. The plate has an orifice formed therein so as to be in communication with the fluid outlet. A plurality of legs are formed on the plate so as to extend upwardly from the top surface of the plate.
