a second container the first container nested within the second container thereby forming an intermediate chamber therebetween, the second container having a second set of water ports each for ingress and egress of water into and out of the intermediate chamber the first set of water ports being vertically offset from the second set of water ports and
a two-way water flow passage defined by the first set of water ports, the intermediate chamber, and the second set of water ports the two-way water flow passage for ingress and egress of water into and out of the plenum chamber from a body of recreational water outside of the satchel dispenser the two-way water flow passage inhibiting a water condition proximate the second set of water ports in the second container from adversely affecting a dispensing rate of the water-soluble dispersant within the plenum chamber.
2 . The satchel dispenser of claim 1 further comprising a flexible connector attachable to a structure within the body of recreational water to secure the satchel dispenser in either a fixed condition or a tethered condition in the body of recreational water as the satchel dispenser provides water access to the plenum chamber.
3 . The satchel dispenser of claim 1 wherein the first set of water ports in the first container and the second set of water ports in the second container are laterally spaced from each other so that ingress and egress of water into and out of the plenum chamber flows between an inner surface of the second container and outer surface of the first container.
4 . The satchel dispenser of claim 1 further comprising a lid thereon extending over the plenum chamber in the first container with the lid openable to either insert a dispensing pod into the plenum chamber or remove a dispensing pod from the plenum chamber.
5 . The satchel dispenser of claim 1 wherein the second container comprises a rigid container.
6 . The satchel dispenser of claim 5 wherein the first container comprises a rigid container.
7 . The satchel dispenser of claim 5 wherein the second container contains a suction cup for attachment of the satchel dispenser to a surface located either below or above a water line of the body of recreational water.
8 . The satchel dispenser of claim 1 further comprising a removable dispensing pod carrier located in the plenum chamber the dispensing pod carrier supporting at least two dispensing pods in a dispensing condition within the plenum chamber.
9 . The satchel dispenser of claim 1 wherein the water-soluble dispersant comprises one or more of an algaecide, a flocculant, a chelator, a source silver, or a batch of minerals.
10 . The satchel dispenser of claim 8 wherein the removable dispensing pod carrier supports at least two dispensing pods thereon with an exterior surface of each of the at least two dispensing pods located in a dispensing condition within the body of recreational water in the plenum chamber.
11 . The satchel dispenser of claim 8 wherein the removable dispensing pod carrier comprises a rigid carrier with a plurality of shelves for supporting a plurality of dispensing pods in a dispending condition within the plenum chamber.
12 . The satchel dispenser of claim 8 where the removable dispensing pod carrier includes a finger tab for insertion or removal of the dispensing pod carrier into or from the satchel dispenser.
