When adding salt to the reservoir the chlorine odor is strong. Can the chlorine gas odor be reduced or eliminated?
YES residual chlorine will be in the brine reservoir at all times. When salt is added to the reservoir, the displaced air will exit the reservoir causing a strong chlorine odor in the vicinity. The amount of residual chlorine in the reservoir is small (less than 0.01 lb in Model 0.2, and less than 0.3 lb in Model 1.7), and can easily be tied up in solution by several methods. Adding the process byproduct of sodium hydroxide to the brine reservoir and agitating the solution will tie up the chlorine in the liquid making chlorine bleach. Use this solution to clean your toilet or other drainage fixture. Sodium or calcium thiosulfate can also be added to neutralize the chlorine. Doesnt take much, just add a few crystals to the reservoir and agitate. Again, dispose solution down your drain with no hazards.
