Where must automatic chlorinators be installed in relation to the heater?
Upstream of the heater
Downstream of the heater
Upstream of the filter
Downstream of the filter
The correct answer is: Downstream of the heater
Automatic chlorinators must be installed downstream of the heater to ensure that the heated water does not cause any potential damage to the chlorinator itself. By placing the chlorinator in this position, it allows the water to first go through the heater where it is treated and then move to the chlorinator, where chlorine is introduced to sanitize the water effectively. If the chlorinator were positioned upstream of the heater, the heat could potentially degrade the chlorine and reduce its effectiveness for sanitization. Additionally, positioning it incorrectly could introduce unwanted reactions within the system that may compromise both the chlorinator's operation and the overall water quality. Understanding the proper placement of automatic chlorinators in relation to heaters is crucial for maintaining an effective and efficient water treatment system.
