Ever heard of passive chlorinators and their contribution to water safety? In a 1 year evaluation in Nepal, passive chlorinators reduced E. Coli from 80% of taps to 7%! Passive chlorinators automatically dose chlorine in water supplies in-line or at the point of collection, without requiring electricity, moving parts, or daily user input. What factors should you consider while choosing a chlorinator for a system as a WASH practitioner? 1️⃣ Dosing consistency - An adequate chlorine dosage (∼2 mg/L at the tap and ≥ 0.2 mg/L after 24 h of storage in a container. 2️⃣ User-friendliness: depends on the handling and basic use of the chlorinator 3️⃣ Ease of maintenance: Repair needs from previous experiences in similar contexts 4️⃣ Local supply chain: Availability of spare parts nearby in case of breakdown. 5️⃣ Cost: The cost of the chlorine to achieve 2 mg/L Free Residual Chlorine and the cost of the device, On 26 November, Marisa Boller, Loïc Fache and other experts on this topic will give a webinar on the chlorination topic. Register here: https://lnkd.in/dNUv2e9N attend and ask your questions. ⏱️Time: 14:00-15:30 CET (Geneva) / 16:00-17:30 EAT (Nairobi) / 09:00-10:30 EDT (New York) Read more on evaluation of different inline chlorinators here: https://lnkd.in/dgPsVjM2 #PREF4WASH Sandec-Eawag #Chlorination #Technology RWSN - Rural Water Supply Network REACH | Water Security
