1. An apparatus for dispensing material from a container, comprising:a valve connected to the container whereby the valve allows the material to escape from the container;a motor connected to the valve for actuating the valve; anda controller in signal communication with the motor, wherein said controller performs the steps of:receiving a dispensing time;receiving a working interval;receiving a plurality of working days; andcontrolling and activating the motor during the dispensing time, during the working interval and on one of the plurality of working days. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the dispensing time comprises one of the group consisting of 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said controller further performs the steps of:receiving a current time; andreceiving a start time, wherein the motor is controlled and activated when the current time equals the start time. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the step of receiving the working interval comprises the step of receiving a number of working hours/day, wherein the working interval starts when the current time equals the starting time and the working interval ends when the current time equals the starting time plus the number of working hours/day. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the number of working hours/day comprises one of the group consisting of 12 hours and 24 hours. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one of the plurality of working days comprises one of the group consisting of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 7. An apparatus for dispensing material from a container, comprising:a valve connected to the container whereby the valve allows the material to escape from the container;a motor connected to the valve for actuating the valve; anda controller in signal communication with the motor, wherein said controller performs the steps of:receiving a dispensing time;determining a dispensing interval based on the dispensing time; andcontrolling and activating the motor at a frequency inversely proportional to the dispensing interval. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the controller further performs the step of receiving a number of working hours/day, wherein the dispensing interval is inversely proportional to the number of working hours/day. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the number of working hours/day comprises one of the group consisting of 12 hours and 24 hours. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the controller further performs the step of determining a number of working days, wherein the dispensing interval is inversely proportional to the number of working days. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the step of determining the number of working days comprises the steps of:receiving a plurality of working days; andcounting the number of working days. 12. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the dispensing time comprises one of the group consisting of 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days. 13. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the controller further performs the steps of:receiving a current time; andreceiving a start time, wherein the material is dispensed from the container when the current time equals the start time. 14. An apparatus for dispensing material from a container, comprising:a valve connected to the container whereby the valve allows the material to escape from the container;a motor connected to the valve for actuating the valve; anda controller in signal communication with the motor, wherein said controller performs the steps of:receiving a dispensing time;receiving a number of working hours/day;determining a number of working days;determining a dispensing interval based on the dispensing time, the number of working hours/day and the number of working days; andcontrolling and activating the motor at a frequency inversely proportional to the dispensing interval. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the dispensing time comprises one of the group consisting of 30 day s, 60 days, and 90 days. 16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the controller further performs the steps of:receiving a current time; andreceiving a start time, wherein the material is dispensed from the container when the current time equals the start time. 17. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the number of working hours/day comprises one of the group consisting of 12 hours and 24 hours. 18. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the step of determining the number of working days comprises the steps of:receiving a plurality of working days; andcounting the number of working days. 19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the one of the plurality of working days comprises one of the group consisting of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 20. A system for dispensing material from a container, comprising:means for receiving a dispensing time;means for receiving a working interval;means for receiving a plurality of working days; andmeans for dispensing the material from the container during the dispensing time, during the working interval and on one of the plurality of working days. 21. A system for dispensing material from a container, comprising:means for receiving a dispensing time;means for determining a dispensing interval based on the dispensing time; andmeans for dispensing the material from the container at a frequency inversely proportional to the dispensing interval. 22. A system for dispensing material from a container, comprising:means for receiving a dispensing time;means for receiving a number of working hours/day;means for determining a number of working days;means for determining a dispensing interval based on the dispensing time, the number of working hours/day and the number of working days; andmeans for dispensing the material from the container at a frequency inversely proportional to the dispensing interval.
