The invention relates to an apparatus (1) and a method for dispensing a wash solution, which is to be conveyed into a washing device, at a desired concentration of detergent chemical. The apparatus comprises a first tank (8) for a wash solution at a desired concentration. The tank includes elements (3, 5, 4, 6, 18, 19) for supplying the first tank with an aqueous solution of supply water and a detergent chemical, elements (2) for measuring the total amount of supply water, and elements (11, 12) for conveying the wash solution at a desired concentration from the first tank (8) into a washing device. The supply water passed through the measuring elements (2) is divided into partial flows along at least two lines (3, 18; 4, 19), which are provided with valve elements (5, 6) for adjusting the partial flows of supply water at a desired ratio between the lines. At least one line (4, 19) for the partial flows of supply water is connected to a detergent chemical supply (10) for conveying the detergent chemical along with water into the tank (8), and at least one second line (3, 18) is intended for the supply of plain water. The apparatus comprises at least one second tank (7), which is equipped with a siphon (13) and into which at least a detergent chemical-containing partial flow is adapted to be conveyed and conducted further into the first tank (8) by way of the siphon (13). The second tank (7) is provided with a first surface level sensing element (16) which indicates the attainment of a certain design volume in the second tank (7), whereby the water quantity measuring elements (2) register the indication moment about the attainment of a design volume and the amount of water which has flown through the measuring elements at the indication moment and which provides a basis for determining the concentration of a detergent chemical in the second tank (7).
