Abstract:
1. A method for dispensing a use solution from a solid product into a dishwashing machine, comprising: a) placing a solid product in a dispenser, said dispenser having a chamber including a front, a back, and a bottom, said chamber defining a cavity configured and arranged to receive said solid product and water from a water source, said chamber including a water inlet proximate said back and a use solution outlet proximate said bottom and said front, said water inlet receiving said water from said water source; b) concurrently supplying water from said water source to both (i) rinse arms of a dishwashing machine and (ii) said water inlet, said water fanning out along said back, flowing down said back, and cascading evenly with relatively even pressure from proximate said back, toward proximate said front, and out said use solution outlet; c) creating a use solution as water contacts a bottom portion of said solid product as said water cascades toward proximate said front of said chamber; d) allowing substantially all of said use solution and said water to exit said cavity through said use solution outlet in such a way that the water skims the bottom of the solid product; and e) directing said use solution into said dishwashing machine via gravity.
