This fact sheet outlines the use of Venturi in-line chlorinators—non-electric devices that mix a 1% liquid chlorine solution into water via pressure changes in a pipe. Ideal for piped infrastructure in low-resource settings, the fact sheet covers key topics including source water requirements, operation and maintenance, feasibility, and calibration and dosage adjustment—advising on testing methods like the Modified Horrocks’ test. Learn how to safely use liquid chlorine, troubleshoot flow issues, and adapt to local conditions. A practical resource for engineers, implementers, and WASH professionals.
