Abstract:
Apparatus for delivering a solution of solid chemical material comprising,a storage chamber (30) arranged and designed to hold a stack of water soluble chemical tablets of solid chemical, said storage chamber having a lid (100), an enclosure (12) with a liquid collection reservoir (26) below said stack of water soluble chemical tablets, said storage chamber (30) and said enclosure (12) having a fluid path (34) in a lower portion of said chamber (30), a blower (2) fluidly connected to said storage chamber (30) at an upper portion of said chamber, and wherein, said liquid collection reservoir (26) is formed in the bottom of said enclosure (12), said enclosure (12) having a water outlet (38) at the bottom of said housing and an air outlet (13) disposed above water level in said liquid collection reservoir (26), whereby said blower forces outside air from the upper portion of said chamber, through said stack of water soluble chemical tablets, and through said fluid path in said lower portion of said chamber and to outside said enclosure thereby inhibiting condensation on the walls of the storage chamber and decreasing wicking of moisture from water-laden air by said tablets within said chamber.
