Abstract

An apparatus for dissolving and dispensing liquid dissolvable material includes a container having a mixing chamber defined therein. The apparatus also includes a body removably secured to an upper portion of the container. The body has a fluid inlet, a first fluid outlet, a second fluid outlet, and a central passage defined therein. The central passage is in fluid communication with each of the fluid inlet, the first fluid outlet, and the second fluid outlet. The central passage is also in fluid communication with the mixing chamber such that each of the fluid inlet, the first fluid outlet, and the second fluid outlet is in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. Moreover, the apparatus includes a cap secured to the first fluid outlet of the body so as to prevent fluid from advancing through the first fluid outlet. Yet further, the apparatus includes a sprinkler assembly secured to the second fluid outlet of the body. Fluid is advanced from the mixing chamber via a first fluid path which includes the central passage, the second fluid outlet, and the sprinkler assembly.
