Chlorinating system

When left untreated, greywater can quickly turn to black water within 72 hours. The BRAC
SYSTEM features an electronic chlorination system that circulates the greywater through
a separate chlorinator at programmable intervals, allowing the greywater to be treated
to a safe level without becoming over-chlorinated. A built-in vacation mode assures that
the greywater is never over-chlorinated. While the timer controlling this system is preset
at the factory, proper chlorinating requires the user to visually inspect the chlorine tablets
and add new ones when necessary. Visual checks of the chlorine tablets should be done
during the fi lter cleaning procedure. (See next section – "Cleaning the fi lter").
BRAC SYSTEMS INC. recommends that the NORWECO brand "Bio Sanitizer" Calcium
Hypo-Chlorite tablets be used for optimal results. The dissolve rate from these 140-gram
(5oz.) tablets has met the performance requirements set forth by BRAC SYSTEMS. The
CHC tablets can be found at your local pool supply store. The CHC tablets are stacked
one on top of the other in a separate chlorinator providing a continuous use that should
last approximately 3 months, depending on usage.
Directions: Remove lid of chlorinator by turning lid counter-clockwise. Warning: Be
careful of chlorine gas when opening lid. Do not put nose directly over open chlorinator as
serious injury may occur!
Following the manufacturers CHC handling instructions, refi ll the BRAC SYSTEMS
chlorinator. The chlorinator will hold eight (8) 140-gram (5oz.) tablets. Replace the
chlorinator lid and tighten securely.
Some jurisdictions require that greywater be dyed blue or green before being served to
Toilets or urinals. In this case, please refer to the products page on the BRAC SYSTEMS
website, then click on the BDD-30 Blue Dye Dispenser for more information.
The CHC tablets can be found at your local pool supply store. If your local pool supply store
does not carry the NORWECO brand CHC tablets, contact your local BRAC SYSTEMS
dealer or representative for further assistance.
