Abstract: A dispenser (100) for dispensing a chemical product that is dissolved by diluent. The dispenser includes a package (170) having a diaphragm, or fingered collar (180) attached to its opening. The diaphragm (180) has a plurality of flexible members or flexible fingers (185). The dispenser may utilize an injection manifold (109) that is sized and configured to be positioned on a washing machine top proximate the gap between the washing machine's top and lid. Still further, the invention includes a low level chemical product indicator. The indicator includes a focused light source (98a). The focused light source is a high intensity light emitting diode having a viewing angle of less than 6 DEG and an intensity of above 10,000 mcd. The dispenser also includes an apparatus and method in which a dispensing time of a dispenser is dynamically varied in response to diluent temperature during operation of the dispenser.
