A device for dissolving and dispensing soluble compounds includes a base having a flow channel therethrough, and a housing secured to the base having a mixing chamber therein. The mixing chamber is adapted to contain dry solutes, and an open container within the chamber is adapted to hold liquid solutes. Water is admitted to the chamber from the flow channel, the water diffusing through a perforated dome member to mix with the dry solutes. A delivery tube extends from the dome member to the container to direct a jet of water therein for dissolving heavy liquid solutes. An outlet port extends from the chamber to the flow channel adjacent to the outlet end thereof, so that solutions formed within the chamber may be drawn into and mixed with the water moving through the flow channel.
