Zimba chlorine doser

(Conceptual Design)

This is initial ideation for the final industrial design of the Zimba community chlorine doser

Initial sketching lead to a rough idea, utilizing vacuum forming as a viable plastic transformation tool. The initial idea was to soften the lines of the doser, without making it look less serious, or reducing its apparent value.

The original idea for construction was to split the chlorinator in "halves"

from left to right. I thought this might make the doser work like a really leaky ship, and decided to split the unit top and bottom, leaving the joint on the upper part of the siphon bell, usually occupied by air.

The top is a "lid" as with previous models. potentially this lid can be attached to the

doser, and can just "drop" into the unit. We need to provide visual aids to the level of the chlorine tank, and of the bottom reservoir as well.

Top, bottom and metallic cradle are sandwiched in at this one joint

The large plastic flanges, natural product of the vaccuum forming process,

are a sturdy base to mount the cradle onto.
