Patent ID: 8210451

Claim:
A sprinkler system liquid/solid chemical dispenser disposed within a sprinkler system, said dispenser comprising: a) a molded reservoir having an open top spout, a cap, a reservoir water inlet opening, and a reservoir solution outlet opening, b) a basket positioned between the spout and the cap, c) a saddle clamp integrally formed with the reservoir, and attached to a mains utility water line of the sprinkler system, d) a reservoir water inlet line that interfaces with the utility water line through the saddle clamp to the reservoir water inlet opening, e) a solution discharge line having an outlet nozzle extending into the mains utility water line and connected between the saddle clamp and the reservoir solution outlet opening, and f) a metering/shut-off valve connected within the solution discharge line, said chemical dispenser receiving water through the mains utility line to the reservoir which leaches a solid chemical from the reservoir, thereby forming an aqueous solution that is drawn through the discharge line by a pressure differential in the sprinkler system mains utility water flow created by a restriction in the utility water line from the outlet nozzle, with the metering/shut-off valve providing flow adjustment or complete shut-off from the chemical dispenser.
