ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and improved chlorine dispenser including a substantially cylindrical housing having a closed bottom and an open top in communication with an interior chamber. A pair of diametrically opposed apertures are disposed adjacent the bottom end for respectively receiving a water inlet and a water outlet pipe. A dial is rotatably mounted to the exterior surface of the housing immediately adjacent the bottom end. The dial is in communication with a valve means disposed within the water effluent line allowing the water flow through the interior chamber to be selectively adjusted. An elongated tubular shaft is received within the cylindrical housing and vertically depends from its bottom surface. On the exterior of the shaft is a switch means in communication with an output means which may be connected to an external or auxiliary alarm. A chlorine container is vertically slidable along the tubular shaft and gradually ascends to engage the switch means upon the amount of chlorine therein dissipating below a predetermined level. Accordingly, a user is audibly or visually alerted whenever the chlorine remaining in the container has diminished to a predetermined amount thereby notifying the user that the dispenser must be reloaded.
