The first wall is flexible and located so that hydrostatic pressure from the body of water presses the first wall against the second wall to close the first flow path against water flow therealong when the level of the body of water is above the first wall, and permits the predetermined volume of water to flow into the product chamber to dissolve a portion of the soluble material therein when the level of the body of water is below the first wall. The dispenser also includes structure for dispensing substantially the same predetermined volume of solution from the product chamber along a second flow path into the body of water when the body of water falls from the upper…
