Abstract:

A device and method for dispensing chemical agents into a body of water includes a plastic, Bucket-like container having the chemical agents disposed therein. The side walls of the container are perforated with a plurality of perforations. Wrapped around the outside walls of the container is a removable cover layer disposed over the perforations.
