Abstract
A bilge cleaner dispenser and method of dispensing liquid bilge cleaner is provided that continuously dispenses a preselected amount of bilge cleaner over time into a bilge. A flow regulator is attached to the standard external threads of the mouth opening of a conventional container of bilge cleaner such that when the container is turned in an orientation that allows liquid flow by gravity, the liquid bilge cleaner drips out of the flow regulator into the bilge at a predetermined rate over time. The conventional container of liquid bilge cleaner is removably attached to a rigid support member. The support member is attachable to a rigid frame such as a suitable location of a boat, and maintains the container of bilge cleaner in an orientation such that the bilge cleaner drips out of the flow regulator directly into the boat's bilge at a predetermined rate.
