What problem might be indicated if chlorine is not coming out of a hooked-up cylinder?

  1. The cylinder is empty

  2. The manifold line is clogged

  3. The regulator is faulty

  4. The feed line is frozen

The correct answer is: The manifold line is clogged

If chlorine is not coming out of a hooked-up cylinder, one possible indication is that the manifold line is clogged. The manifold delivers the chlorine from the cylinder to the treatment system, and if it becomes obstructed, it will prevent the flow of chlorine gas. A clog in the manifold could result from debris, buildup, or any foreign material that impedes the passage of gas, making it essential to ensure that the manifold is clear for proper operation. While the other options represent valid concerns that could also prevent chlorine from being dispensed, a clogged manifold is a specific issue related to flow restrictions within the distribution system. It highlights the necessity for regular maintenance and inspection of the entire feed system to maintain efficient and safe chlorine delivery.
