Claim Text:
1. A chemical dispenser configured to dispense a dissolved solid cast chemical solution at a pressure sufficient to enable transportation of the solution through a fluid conduit at heights that exceed the height of the dispenser, the dispenser comprising: a single supply valve acting to selectively enable the flow of a pressurized water supply; a flow splitter acting to split the pressurized water supply into a first fluid flow and a second fluid flow, wherein the flow splitter includes a manually adjustable valve configured to selectively adjust the split of the pressurized water supply between the first fluid flow and the second fluid flow, wherein the first fluid flow is diverted to dissolve a solid cast chemical to form a first fluid flow slurry or solution, and the second fluid flow continues along a path through a high flow rate solid cast chemical bypass; a housing including a support surface configured to receive a solid cast chemical container, a collection reservoir configured to collect the first fluid flow slurry or solution, and an atmospheric pressure passageway present between the support surface and the container configured to equalize the pressure of the collection reservoir with the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere; and a venturi configured to combine the first fluid flow slurry or solution with the second fluid flow, wherein passage of the second fluid flow through the venturi creates a vacuum to pull the first fluid flow slurry or solution from the atmospheric pressure equalized collection reservoir for combination with the second fluid flow, thereby forming a single stream of dissolved solid cast chemical solution, wherein the venturi is vertically oriented at the bottom of the collection reservoir directly below the container.
