Abstract
The present invention is a chemical dispenser, preferably for dispensing chlorine or bromine to pools, spas, and hot tubs. The preferred embodiment is a buoyant vessel connected to a sea creature-shaped dispenser vessel by a line, where the sea creature-shaped dispenser vessel has a buoyant shell and a cargo chamber that has an insertion port and a permeable surface with a plurality of dissolution ports.
Claims14
A chemical dispenser for a body of water, comprising:
- a buoyant flotation vessel floating on the body of water;
- a dispenser vessel, with a buoyant shell having an insertion port and a permeable surface encapsulating a cargo chamber, the dispenser vessel adapted to float on the body of water when empty, and to submerge below the surface of the body of water when an amount of chemical is added to the cargo chamber;
- and
- a line of predetermined length connecting the buoyant vessel on ton of the water to the submerged dispenser vessel, the line and buoyant shell preventing the dispenser vessel from sinking to the bottom of the body of water when the chemical is added to the dispenser vessel.
