Abstract
A filter and chemical dispenser combination for filtering and chemically treating water to be added to a body of water includes a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet, and a flow passage between the inlet and the outlet. A filter element is positioned in the flow passage between the inlet and the outlet extending in a longitudinal direction and having a hollow interior. Means are provided in the interior of the filter element and in the flow passage for supporting a chemical. In a further embodiment of the invention, a chemical dispenser is provided for chemically treating a body of water wherein the dispenser includes an inlet for pressurized liquid and an outlet for liquid from the inlet. A flow passage is between the inlet and the outlet. A chemical chamber is provided in the flow passage between the inlet and the outlet for forming a compressible gas pocket. The chamber includes a base for supporting the chemical. The pocket-forming means has a first aperture for allowing liquid from the inlet into the pocket-forming chamber, and a second aperture for passing liquid out of the chamber.
