Abstract
A water chlorinating device having a vessel (2) in turn having a bottom portion (6) for containing water; a grille (10) located over the bottom portion and for supporting a solid chemical chlorinating substance (11); a spray device (13) for directing at least one water jet on to the grille (10); and a mixing nozzle (29) located inside the bottom portion (6), at the bottom of the vessel (2), and for agitating the water in the bottom portion (6) by means of a water jet.
Claims12
A method of chlorinating water comprising:
- positioning a solid chemical chlorinating substance on supporting means of a water chlorinating device, the water chlorinating device comprising a vessel having a hold portion for chlorinated water, the supporting means located on the hold portion, water dispersion means located over the hold portion, and mixing means comprising spraying means located at the hold portion;
- directing a first jet of water, which is emitted by the water dispersion means, on to the supporting means and the solid chemical chlorinating substance;
- emitting a second jet of water from the spraying means to agitate the chlorinated water in the hold portion;
- drawing the chlorinated water from the vessel;
- and
- maintaining the level of the chlorinated water in the hold portion substantially between a maximum level and a minimum level, which is lower than the maximum level.

A method of chlorinating water comprising:
- positioning a solid chemical chlorinating substance on supporting means of a water chlorinating device, the water chlorinating device comprising a vessel having a hold portion for chlorinated water, the supporting means located on the hold portion, water dispersion means located over the hold portion, and mixing means comprising spraying means located at the hold portion;
- emitting a first jet of water from the water dispersion means and directing the first jet of water on to the supporting means and the solid chemical chlorinating substance;
- emitting a second jet of water from the spraying means and agitating the chlorinated water in the hold portion with the second jet of water;
- drawing the chlorinated water from the vessel;
- detecting the level of the chlorinated water in the hold portion and maintaining the level substantially between a maximum level and a minimum level, which is lower than the maximum level;
- controlling a supply of liquid water into the vessel so that the supply of liquid water into the vessel is started when the level of chlorinated water in the vessel is detected below the minimum level and is interrupted when the level of chlorinated water in the vessel is detected above the maximum level.

- emitting a second jet of water from the spraying means and agitating the chlorinated water in the hold portion with the second jet of water;
- feeding the chlorinated water by discharge means from the vessel to an external container;
- detecting the level of the chlorinated water in the hold portion and maintaining the level of the chlorinated water substantially between a maximum level and a minimum level, which is lower than the maximum level;
- detecting the chlorine concentration of the chlorinated water in the container with a concentration detecting means;
- and
- providing a control unit, connected to the concentration detecting means, to activate the discharge means to keep the chlorine concentration of the chlorinated water in the container between a maximum concentration and a minimum concentration.
