Claims14
A system for delivering a quantity of chemicals into a toilet bowl comprising:
- a chemical container having chemicals to be delivered to the toilet bowl;
- an outlet attached to and in fluid communication with the chemical container and an overflow tube, the overflow tube in fluid communication with the toilet bowl;
- an electric pump having a pump inlet and a pump outlet;
- and
- a chamber in which the electric pump is disposed. the pump inlet external to the chamber, and wherein the pump outlet disposed in the chemical container, the pump pumping fluid from the pump inlet to the outlet and into the chemical container to cause chemicals to flow into the toilet bowl through the overflow tube during the filling of the toilet bowl.
