The method as recited in claim 3, wherein the quantity of fluid directed to the outlet nozzle trap is diverted from the inlet nozzle. 5. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising directing the quantity of fluid diverted from the main fluid flow passage to a bottom portion of the storage tank to mix the chemical stored within the storage tank. 6. The method as recited in claim 5, further comprising passing the quantity of fluid diverted from the main fluid flow passage to the bottom portion of the tank through an agitation nozzle. 7. The method as recited in claim 5, further comprising passing the quantity of fluid diverted from the main fluid flow passage to the bottom portion of the tank through a plurality of agitation nozzles. 8. The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the plurality of agitation nozzles are arranged about the bottom of a dip tube connected to the inlet nozzle. 9. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising layering a quantity of fluid drawn from the main fluid flow passage over a top of the fluid mixed with chemical. 10. The method as recited in claim 9, wherein the quantity of fluid drawn from the main fluid flow passage is layered over the top of the fluid mixed with chemical via a vent formed in the inlet nozzle. 11. The method as recited in claim 9, wherein the quantity of fluid drawn from the main fluid flow passage is layered over the top of the fluid mixed with chemical via a vent formed in a dip tube connected to the inlet nozzle. 12. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising filtering the quantity of fluid mixed with the chemical that is returned to the main fluid flow passage from the storage tank. 13. The method as recited in claim 12, wherein a mesh screen is attached to a dip tube that is attached to the outlet nozzle for use in filtering the quantity of fluid mixed with chemical that is returned to the main fluid flow passage from the storage tank. 14. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising controlling the amount of fluid diverted from the main fluid flow passage to the storage tank by means of an adjustment dial. 15. A chemical delivery system, comprising:a body defining a main fluid flow passage through which a fluid passes;a storage tank for holding a chemical;an inlet nozzle by which a quantity of the fluid in the main fluid flow passage is delivered to the storage tank to be mixed with the chemical;an outlet nozzle, having a vent port, by which a quantity of the fluid mixed with the chemical is returned to the main fluid flow passage from the storage tank;an outlet nozzle trap in fluid communication with the vent port of the outlet nozzle; anda fill control port for directing fluid from the main fluid flow passage to the outlet nozzle trap to fill the outlet nozzle trap to control venting of air from the storage tank to the main fluid flow passage via the vent port. 16. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 15, wherein the fill control port is in direct fluid flow communication with the outlet nozzle trap. 17. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 16, wherein the fill control port is formed in the inlet nozzle. 18. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 16, wherein the fill control port is formed adjacent to the inlet nozzle. 19. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 15, further comprising a fluid control port for layering fluid over the fluid mixed with the chemical in the storage tank. 20. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 19, wherein the fluid control port is formed in the inlet nozzle. 21. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 19, wherein the fluid control port is formed in a dip tube connected to the inlet nozzle. 22. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 15, further comprising an inlet dip tube attached to the inlet nozzle and extending into the storage tank. 23. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 22, further comprising an agitation nozzle attached to the inlet dip tube. 24. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 22, further comprising a plurality of agitation nozzles attached to the inlet dip tube. 25. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 15, wherein the storage tank has a domed bottom. 26. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 25, wherein the storage tank has a funnel shape leading to the domed bottom. 27. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 25, further comprising a ring stand attachable to the domed bottom of the storage tank. 28. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 15, wherein the main fluid flow passage comprises a cap attachable to the storage tank. 29. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 15, further comprising an outlet dip tube attached to the outlet nozzle and extending into the storage tank. 30. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 29, further comprising an inlet dip tube attached to the inlet nozzle and extending into the storage tank, wherein the outlet dip tube is disposed within the inlet dip tube. 31. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 30, further comprising a dip tube screen attached to the outlet dip tube opposite the outlet nozzle. 32. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 31, wherein the dip tube screen is non-clogging. 33. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 32, wherein the dip tube screen comprises a plurality of support rods and a meshing attached to the plurality of support rods. 34. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 33, wherein the plurality of support rods are arranged such that a narrowest distance between adjacent support rods is located proximate to the meshing. 35. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 34, wherein the outlet dip tube extends to an approximate mid-point of the dip tube screen. 36. The chemical delivery system as recited in claim 15, further comprising a flow restrictor disposed with the main fluid flow passage to divert fluid to the storage tank via the inlet nozzle. 37.
