A chlorinator including a housing adapted to be submerged below the pool deck of a swimming pool, including a lower liquid chamber and an upper control chamber, and a chlorine container depending from the control chamber into the liquid chamber, a water inlet line extending through the pool wall below the normal water level of the pool communicating with the housing and the chlorine container, and a liquid outlet conduit connecting the lower liquid chamber to the return line on the downstream side of a Venturi orifice within the return line for discharging chlorine-treated water from the liquid chamber into the return line on the discharge side of the pump into the swimming pool.

A chlorinator system for a swimming pool comprising: (a) a swimming pool having a surrounding deck level and having a normal water level within the swimming pool, (b) a water re-circulating system including a pump, a drain line from the pool to the intake side of the pump, and a return line from the discharge side of the pump to the pool, the return line terminating in an inlet port through the wall of the swimming pool below said normal water level, (c) a housing having an enclosing side wall, a bottom wall adjacent said swimming pool wall exteriorly of said swimming pool, said bottom wall being below the normal water level of the swimming pool, (d) a transverse partition wall spanning said housing and spaced between said bottom wall and said open top portion to define a closed liquid chamber within said housing below said partition wall and a control chamber above said partition wall within said housing, said partition wall having a container opening therethrough, (e) a container for receiving soluble water-treatment agents, said container being received within said liquid chamber and projecting upwardly through said container opening into said control chamber, said container having an open upper end within said control chamber for receiving said water-treatment agents, (f) water inlet apertures in one side of said container below said partition wall, (g) water outlet apertures in the opposite side of said container from said inlet apertures, (h) a water inlet line in direct fluid communication between said swimming pool and said water inlet apertures, said inlet line being below said normal water level, (i) said water outlet apertures being in fluid communication with said liquid chamber, (j) a standpipe member extending through, and projecting above, said bottom wall, and terminating at a predetermined height within said liquid chamber to provide a liquid outlet from said liquid chamber above said bottom wall and said inlet port to said swimming pool and below said normal water level, (k) a Venturi orifice in said return line, and (l) said standpipe member being in fluid communication with said return line downstream of said Venturi orifice, so that the liquid from said liquid chamber flows by aspiration into said return line when water from the pump is flowing through said return line.
