a valve member slideably positioned in the through bore of the body member;

an eductor received in the body member, the eductor in contact with the valve member and in fluid communication with a source of chemical concentrate;

an actuating member connected to the body member and the eductor to cause slideable movement of the eductor;

the eductor and valve member constructed and arranged to provide control of both different concentrations of chemical concentrate and different flow rates of chemical concentrate.

2. The dispenser of claim 1 wherein the eductor is both slideable and rotatable.

3. The dispenser of claim 2 wherein the eductor is composed of first and second parts, only one of which is rotatable.

4. The dispenser of claim 3 wherein the first part of the eductor is rotatable and extends from the body member.

6. The dispenser of claim 5 wherein a handle member is connected to the body member at a side of the body member opposite the trigger member.

7. A trigger activated dispenser for dispensing different volumes of chemical concentrate into a stream of liquid from a concentrate container:

a body member having a through bore with an inlet end adapted to be connected to a source of pressurized water at one end and an outlet at the opposite end connected to the inlet housing;

an eductor slideably and rotatably received in the body member, the eductor in fluid communication with a source of chemical concentrate;

a trigger member connected to the body member and eductor to cause slideable movement of the eductor;

the eductor constructed and arranged to provide control of different concentrations of chemical concentrate into the stream of liquid.

8. The trigger actuated dispenser of claim 7 wherein the eductor is both slideable and rotatable.

9. The dispenser of claim 8 wherein the eductor is composed of first and second parts, only one of which is rotatable.

10. The dispenser of claim 9 wherein the first part of the eductor is rotatable and extends from the body member.

11. The dispenser of claim 7 wherein a handle member is connected to the body member at a side of the body member opposite the trigger member.

12. A trigger activated dispenser for dispensing different volumes of chemical concentrate into a stream of liquid from a concentrate container:

a body member having a through bore with an inlet end adapted to be connected to a source of pressurized water at one end and an outlet at the opposite end connected to the inlet housing;

a valve member slideably positioned in the through bore of the body member;

an eductor slideably and rotatably received in the body member, the eductor in fluid communication with a source of chemical concentrate;

a trigger member connected to the body member and eductor to cause slideable movement of the eductor and the valve member;

the eductor constructed and arranged to provide control of different concentrations of chemical concentrate into the stream of liquid.

13. The dispenser of claim 12 wherein the eductor is composed of first and second parts, only one of which is rotatable.

14. The dispenser of claim 13 wherein the first part of the eductor is rotatable and extends from the body member.

15. The dispenser of claim 12 wherein a handle member is connected to the body member at a side of the body member opposite the trigger member.
