Method and apparatus for variation of flow to erode solid chemistry

An apparatus for adjusting characteristics of the flow of a fluid contacting a solid product to form a product chemistry, comprising:

• a manifold diffuse member comprising a plurality of ports therethrough;
• and
• a cover positioned adjacent the manifold diffuse member and comprising a plurality of ports therethrough;
• wherein the cover is adjustable relative to the manifold diffuse member to adjust the alignment of the manifold diffuse ports and the cover ports to adjust a characteristic of the flow of the fluid contacting the solid product to adjust the erosion rate of the solid product by the fluid.

A dispenser configured to obtain a product chemistry from a product and a liquid, comprising:

• a housing;
• a cavity within the housing for holding the product;
• a liquid source adjacent the cavity for providing a liquid to contact the product to create a product chemistry;
• a manifold diffuse member adjacent the liquid source and comprising a plurality of ports therethrough to allow a flow of the liquid to contact the solid product;
• and
• a cover positioned adjacent the manifold diffuse member and comprising a plurality of ports therethrough;
• wherein the cover is adjustable relative to the manifold diffuse member to adjust the alignment of the manifold diffuse ports and the cover ports to adjust a characteristic of the flow of the liquid contacting the product to adjust the erosion rate of the product by the liquid.
