When using the WaterStep M-100 Chlorine Generator, you should always follow basic safety
precautions:
Read all instructions!
Allow only responsible adults who are familiar with the instructions to operate the M-100.
The M-100 produces by-products of liquid chlorine and sodium hydroxide. Use caution
when draining the M-100 of these by-products. Rinse any spills immediately.
Store these by-products in bottles that are not used for drinking. Using a permanent
marker, clearly mark the bottles CHLORINE and SODIUM HYDROXIDE. Also write in
large words: POISON - DO NOT DRINK. These by-products can be harmful or
fatal if swallowed!
The side of the M-100 labeled CHLORINE produces chlorine gas when the unit is
operated as instructed. Do not open the ll tube and breathe the fumes.
When draining and rinsing the M-100, be careful not to spill chlorine or sodium
hydroxide on your skin or clothes, or splash it in your eyes. You should wear eye
protection.
To protect against shock, sparks or explosion, never place tools on or near the 12-volt
battery.
Never leave the M-100 running unattended.
Avoid over-chlorinating the water by testing chlorine levels frequently as
instructed in this manual. If the water is over-chlorinated, add water to dilute the
chlorine to 5 PPM (Parts Per Million).

THE WATERSTEP M-100 CHLORINE GENERATOR
GENERATES CHLORINE GAS TO PURIFY WATER. IT DOES
SO SAFELY WHEN USED AS INTENDED BY PEOPLE WITH
PROPER TRAINING. BUT IT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF NOT
USED CORRECTLY.
The M-100 uses salt (sodium chloride, or NaCl) and
direct current (DC) electricity to produce chlorine gas
(Cl2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). You should
use the M-100 only after you get proper
training on how to run it and monitor chlorine
levels.
Chlorine destroys disease-causing organisms in water
and is the most commonly used disinfectant in all
regions of the world. It does not kill all viruses,
bacteria or protozoa.
Chlorine does NOT remove salt from salt water. It does NOT remove toxic chemicals. So
water treated with the M-100 could still contain harmful chemicals. When
possible, you should get your source water tested by a certied lab to see what it has in it.
The M-100 can chlorinate water up to a level of 5 PPM (parts per million), but no third
party or government agency has tested the M-100 for how effectively it kills bacteria or other
microbes or viruses. Use the M-100 and the water it produces at your own risk.
DANGER: The M-100 produces chlorine gas (Cl2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
Chlorine gas is poisonous - which is
why it kills bacteria and other microbes.
But it is also poisonous to humans and
animals. If you breathe it in, it can burn
your lungs. It can also burn your eyes
and your skin.
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) can cause
severe skin irritation and burns.
Use the M-100 in a well-ventilated area. Do not breathe in gas from any ports or tubes. Handle
the liquid chlorine and sodium hydroxide it produces very carefully, and put them only in con-
tainers with large, clear labeling.

DANGER
The WaterStep M-100 Chlorine Generator was developed in response to a need that affects
nearly one billion people around the globe . . . unsafe drinking water. In fact, waterborne
disease claims more lives each day than armed conict, HIV/AIDS, and cancer combined.
For more than 140 years, chlorine has been added to water to kill disease-causing bacteria
and pathogens. The M-100 is a portable, affordable way to chlorinate water for the purpose of
eliminating waterborne pathogens.
Through the process of electrolysis, the M-100 creates chlorine gas from salt water. The chlo-
rine gas, which evenly disburses throughout the water, kills waterborne bacteria in two hours.
As contaminated water circulates through the system, chlorine gas is injected into the water.
When the water has reached the recommended chlorine level of 5 PPM - and still has a 2 PPM
chlorine level after setting for two or more hours - the waterborne pathogens have been killed.
The M-100 does not remove salt from seawater. It will also not remove heavy metals or
chemicals.

Remove the M-100 from the box
and bubble-wrap packaging.
Use zip ties, rope, wire or chain to attach the
M-100 securely to a water tank or other
support; or secure it rmly to the ground/deck.
Attach the end of the 5/8” (16mm) hose with
the male barb to the outlet side of the
circulation pump. Secure with hose clamp.

Attach the opposite end of this hose to the barb
tting on the short side of the heat exchanger.
Tighten the hose clamp as needed.
*The injector (sometimes called
a “Venturi”) is the device that
pulls chlorine gas from the
M-100 Chlorine Generator and
injects it (the chlorine gas) into
the water. The injector is con-
nected to the heat exchanger
(the U-shaped piece of piping)
during manufacturing. The injec-
tor is a vital part of the M-100.
Without the injector the M-100
will NOT function.
Heat exchanger Black injector
Attach the other braided hose to the barb
tting on the black injector*. Use hose clamp
to tighten.
