Abstract: A method of producing a polyphosphate, orthophosphate, phosphonate or the like chemical treatment cake is disclosed. Conventional commercially available treatment material is obtained in powder form and mixed with water to initiate an exothermic reaction. The material is then poured into a mold and placed inside an insulated hermetic cabinet and allowed to quiescently cool in the passive environment of the cabinet. The cake is harder, more uniform and relatively free of inclusions compared to cakes formed by other methods.

Abstract: A dispense device includes a dispense head and threaded canister. A chemical container assembly disposed within the canister includes a support column which telescopically receives a chemical container. The chemical container includes inlet and outlet holes to allow a flow through the container to come into contact and subsequently dissolve chemical treatment material disposed within the container. The support column engages the dispense head to aid in defining the separation distance between the dispense head and the outlet hole of the chemical container.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing a measured amount of a chemical into a fluid piping system comprising a cap having fluid entrance and exit ports between which is a tubular flow conduit. The tubular flow conduit has a first passageway therein to divert a portion of the fluid passing through the system into a canister attached to the cap. A container is disposed within the canister containing a solid chemical which is partially dissolved by fluid introduced into the container. A portion of the dissolved chemical passes out through a second passageway in the tubular flow conduit located downstream from the first fluid passageway and is reintroduced into the fluid system.
