    摘要: The present invention relates to a filtration system (1) having the faucet (20). The faucet (20) comprises: a mixing valve, wherein the mixing valve is provided with a first inlet passage, a second inlet passage, and a mixing valve outlet passage, wherein the first inlet passage is connected to a first fluid line (L2), and the second inlet passage is connected to a second fluid line (L3); an outflowing pipe (23), wherein one end of the outflowing pipe (23) is connected to the mixing valve outlet passage; and a mode selection device (25), wherein the mode selection device (25) being operable to selectively allow one or both of the first fluid line (L2) and the second fluid line (L3) to communicate with the mixing valve outlet passage. The faucet (20) further comprises a mixing ratio adjustment device, the mixing ratio adjustment device and the mode selection device (25) operating independently from each other. The faucet (20) and the filtration system (1) according to the present invention can simplify operation of the faucet (20), allow the faucet (20) to be more in line with user's operating habits, reduce the number of parts and components, and enable configuration of appropriate mixing ratios according difficult use environments, thereby expanding the application scope of the faucet (20) and filtration system (1).

    摘要: A water conservation system includes a showerhead, a water conservation tank, and a sensor. The system further includes a first valve configured to direct water towards the conservation water tank in an open position and configured to prevent water from flowing towards the conservation water tank when in a closed position. The system further includes a second valve configured to direct water towards the showerhead in an open position and configured to prevent water from reaching the showerhead in a closed position. A controller is configured to direct the first valve to the open position and the second valve to the closed position upon the detection of water flow by the sensor and the configured to direct the first valve to the closed position and the second valve to open position upon the occurrence of an event that occurs after the initial detection of water flow by the sensor.

The body has an inlet for receiving a fluid; first, second, and third chambers; and first, second, and third outlets for dispensing the fluid in first, second, and third modes, respectively. The first diverter moves 5 between a first position wherein the second chamber fluidly connects to the inlet and the first chamber fluidly disconnects from the inlet and a second position wherein the first outlet fluidly connects to the inlet through the first chamber and the second chamber fluidly disconnects from the inlet. The second diverter moves between a first position wherein the second outlet fluidly connects to the second chamber and the third chamber fluidly disconnects from the second 10 chamber and a second position wherein the third outlet fluidly connects to the second chamber through the third chamber and the second outlet fluidly disconnects from the second chamber.

    摘要: A water tap body has a mechanical mixing valve which is operable selectively to allow water to flow only from a first water inlet to a water outlet of the mixing valve, to allow water to flow only from a second water inlet to the water outlet, and to allow a mix of water to flow to the water outlet. The water tap body also has a mechanical selector valve which is operable selectively to allow water to flow only from a first water inlet to a water outlet and to allow water to flow only from a second water inlet to the water outlet of the mechanical selector valve. The water outlet of the mechanical mixing valve is in fluid communication with a first tap body outlet. The water outlet of the mechanical selector valve is in fluid communication with a second tap body outlet.

    摘要: A water delivery system includes a mixing valve operable for delivering a water flow of adjustable temperature from a water source to a dispensing device downstream from the mixing valve; a thermochromic thermal indicator, fluidly coupled between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, that provides a visible indication of the water flow having achieved a predetermined temperature; and a diverter valve, fluidly coupled between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, and operable to direct the water flow selectively either to the dispensing device or back to the water source. The thermal indicator may be a thermochromic PVC conduit, or it may be a fitting having an inlet, an outlet, a thermochromic PVC element therebetween, and a barrier located between the inlet and the outlet so as to define a flow path that includes an interior surface of the thermochromic element.
