A water chlorinator that is put in the water line and cleans up dirty drinking water in rural areas.
The Chlorador ADEC is a low-tech device that can clean contaminated drinking water in rural areas of Central America. It works very well and costs very little. This in-line tablet feeder doesn’t use electricity or have moving parts, and it’s made so that it can be fixed with parts from a local hardware store. This device has been put in place in more than 1,500 rural areas, and more than 98% of them are still working after 10 years of the program. The water chlorinator is made to use chlorine tablets that can be bought and sold in the area and that can be dosed correctly based on the amount of contamination in the water system and how fast the water flows. With each installation of a chlorinator, the community gets a chlorine dose test kit and training on how to calibrate their water system.
