How does a Pellet Chlorinator Work?

,
With Dry Pellet Chlorinators - you can control these problems at their source, in the well itself, with a compact, low profile unit that blends comfortably into any landscape.

Safe, simple, fast loading with prepackaged pellets!

After opening the protective cover, remove the power module and unscrew the cap from a full container of pellets. Screw the power module directly onto the full pellet container. Insert the power module/pellet container assembly in the protective housing and replace the cover!
Chlorine Pellets

Using chemicals isn't our favorite thing, but sometimes chlorination seems the best answer to well problems. Chlorine, of course, is the municipal water supplier's standard approach to disinfection, and it performs the same function for well owners.

Each chlorine tablet is round and drops down the well treating an average of up to 30 gallons of water per pellet!  This happens because each pellet consists of 70% available chlorine (household bleach is only 5.25% available chlorine).  The pellets are inexpensive - yet very effective.

As it runs, it drops one to three (adjustable) small chlorine pellets into the well per minute. The highly concentrated pellets sink into the well and dissolve slowly, killing bacteria and cleaning up iron and sulfide problems. When the water leaves the well, it passes through a backwashing filter (usually carbon) for removal of oxidized particles and final polish.  If a carbon filter is used, the chlorine will also be removed, so that the water that enters the home will be very clean and chlorine-free.
