A granular algaecide dispensing device for dispensing granular algaecide in controlled amounts and in specific locations, such as on algae spots, in a fluid vessel, such as a swimming pool, from a position above the surface of said fluid vessel. The device consists of a tubular chamber which may be filled with a granular algaecide, and has a valve assembly at one end and an end cap and handle at the opposite end. The device is readily removably mounted at the receiving end of any standard swimming pool pole by means of the handle connector. An operator at the opposite end of the pole may position the device at any desired location in the fluid vessel and, by pulling a control line which is attached to the valve assembly and which runs the length of the pole, the valve will be forced to open, and the granular algaecide will be steadily released from the dispenser onto the desired location until the control line is released.

In combination with a standard swimming pool pole, including a pair of apertures at a receiving end, and a granular algaecide dispensing device for dispensing controled amounts of granular algaecide underwater primarily but not soley for the purpose of killing algae, said dispensing device comprising: a rigid tubular reservoir suited to storing a quantity of granular algaecide, said reservoir having first and second ends, said second end having an aperture large enough to easily facilitate the steady release of granular algaecide, a spring loaded plastic valve especially suited to the release of granular algaecide, positioned in said second end of said rigid tubular reservoir for controling the release of granular algaecide from said rigid tubular reservoir, and said spring biasing said valve about a pivot axis to assume a closed position when the dispensing device is not being manipulated by an operator, an actuating means for opening and closing said valve, a rigid end cap which is releasably secured to the first end of said rigid tubular reservoir, a tubular member releasably mounted to said standard swimming pool pole and coupled to the cap, two slots on opposing sides of said second end of said rigid tubular reservoir to serve as guide channels for said pivot axis of said valve and so that said valve may be removably mounted in said second end of said rigid tubular reservoir.
