You know the standard floating pool chlorinator used in swimming pools? The blue and white one, with an adjustable ring (to adjust the amount of chlorine dispensed).
You could use that chlorinator, but you need to use food-grade chlorine tablets. The chlorine used in swimming pools contain strong biocides, which is not good for drinking.
Now..... for being the devil's advocate....... the floating pool chlorinator is plastic, and am not sure how "food-grade" it is. Especially with the heat cycles that we see in Hawaii. That is why when I made my floating intake, I used 100% food-grade products in it. I didn't want to use the "gatorade" drink bottle as the float, as the prolonged heat may raise the question of leaching into the water.
