Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and equipment configured for dosing and dispensing solid cleaning compositions. The solid chemistry dispensing systems comprise a solids dispenser wherein a solid cleaning composition is stored and a tank connected to the solids dispenser. For dispensing and dosing, the tank is filled with a preselected volume of water. Said water is recirculated through the solids dispenser to dissolve the solid cleaning composition resulting in a concentrate of a cleaning composition in the tank.
