Floating adjustable pool chlorinator

A device for producing halogen solution from a soluble solid halogen source and dispensing the solution in a controlled manner to a body of water, the device comprising:

• a body defining a source chamber comprising an open end at one end and a closed end at an opposite end;
• a number of apertures extending through the body and into the chamber housing, wherein the apertures are positioned near the closed end of the chamber;
• a cap releasably attached to the open end to form an air-tight seal therebetween;
• and
• a control member comprising an open end and a closed end separated by a cylindrical wall extending therebetween, the open end of the control member being rotatably attached to the closed end of the chamber, the control member having openings in the wall at locations that correspond to the locations of the apertures, forming dispensement ports by alignment of each opening with respective apertures.

A floating device for producing a halogen solution from a solid soluble halogen source and dispensing the solution into a body of water at a controlled rate, the floating device comprising:

• a cylindrical body having a chamber for accommodating a volume of solid soluble halogen source therein, the chamber having one open end and one closed end;
• a number of apertures slots disposed through the body adjacent the closed end, wherein the apertures are positioned at diametrically opposed locations of the body;
• a control member rotatably mounted to the closed end of the chamber, the control member having a cylindrical wall interposed between a closed end and an open end, the wall comprising openings positioned at diametrically opposed locations that correspond to the location of the apertures;
• and
• a cap attached to the open end of the chamber forming an air and water-tight seal therebetween.

A device for producing halogen solution from a soluble solid halogen source and dispensing the solution in a controlled manner to a body of water, the device comprising:

• a body including a source chamber for accommodating a volume of soluble solid halogen source therein, wherein the chamber comprises an open end at one end and a closed end at an opposite end;
• a number of apertures extending through the body and into the chamber near the closed end for accommodating water passage into the chamber to wet the solid halogen source and for facilitating halogen solution passage from the chamber to the water;
• a control member having an open end and a closed end separated by a wall extending therebetween, the open end of the control member being rotatably mounted to the closed end of the chamber, the control member having openings in the wall positioned at diametrically opposed locations alignable with respective slots to form adjustable area dispensement ports at diametrically opposed locations of the device;
• a cap releasably attached to the open end of the chamber to form an air and water-tight seal therebetween and facilitate loading of the solid halogen source;
• and
• a float cavity disposed around the outside surface of the housing comprising a volume of foam material therein to provide buoyancy, and a ballast contained within the control member to cause the device to float erect.
