## Abstract

The present invention discloses a swimming pool chemical dispenser, comprises a main body, an upper cover which covers the upper opening of the main body, an accommodating cavity for storing tablets is formed inside the main body; the swimming pool chemical dispenser further comprises a tablet clamp; the clamping end of the tablet clamp penetrates downward through the upper cover and abuts against the tablets, and the tablet clamp is provided with scales; the tablet clamp descends along with the dissolution of the tablets and displays the amount of residual chemical in the main body. The amount of residual chemical can be visually and reliably determined from the scales on the tablet clamp for timely refill; the tablet clamp is placed on the main body, thus makes it convenient for the user to replace the tablets bare-handed without touching the tablets, which is much safer and more environmentally friendly.
