ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for dispensing chlorine pellets and the like into a well or other liquid container. The apparatus comprises a hollow cylindrical body having a grooved passageway therein and further having an end plate with a gate opening therein communicating with the passageway. The gate opening has a cross sectional dimension which is greater than that of the diameter of a single chlorine pellet, but smaller than that of two chlorine pellets, thereby allowing the removal of a single chlorine pellet from the gate opening once during each 360.degree. rotation of the cylindrical body. This motion further causes the next-in-line pellet to drop back into the cylindrical body once each such rotation thereof. A removable cap is mounted at the other end of the cylindrical body and is used for loading pellets into the cylindrical body. Advantageously, the removable cap is configured so as to receive the drive shaft of a small low horsepower motor which is used to drive the cylindrical body at a controlled rotational speed of typically about one revolution per minute when the well pump is running.
