Embodiments herein relate to filter restriction indicator (100) for a filtration system. In an embodiment, a filter restriction indicator (100) can have an electronics control cartridge (800) including an internal spacer frame (304), a first circuit board (346), a second circuit board (302) disposed over the first circuit board (346), and a pressure sensor (336) in electrical communication with the first circuit board (346). A filter fluid tube (318) defines a filter fluid channel (348) in fluid communication with the pressure sensor (336). The internal spacer frame (304) can secure the first circuit board (346) at a fixed distance from the second circuit board (302). A lower housing (108) defines an ambient pressure port (310). A cap (102) defines an interior volume (332) into which the electronics control cartridge fits (800). The cap (102) can define a shielding panel (112) configured to fit over an exterior portion of the ambient pressure port (336) when the cap (102) is engaged with the lower housing (108). Other embodiments are also included herein.

A system that monitors toilets for leaks using in-toilet monitors with pressure sensors that are placed underwater in toilet tanks. Monitors can be dropped into tanks without additional wiring or installation; they may be battery powered and may transmit data wirelessly. Data may be analyzed by a server that detects leaks or other malfunctions. Pressure data may be filtered to remove the effect of barometric pressure, to measure the height of water in the tank. The system may learn the flush pressure change pattern for each toilet; pressure changes that do not match this pattern may indicate problems such as leaks. Data may indicate the type of leak, such as an open flapper or a leaking valve. Toilet monitors may measure temperature, and the system may generate alerts when freezing appears imminent. The system may keep flush counts for each toilet to support maintenance and water consumption measurement.

A transformer monitoring apparatus based on non-electricity comprehensive characteristic information includes a transient oil pressure characteristic measuring module, a transient oil flow characteristic measuring module, a transient acceleration characteristic measuring module, a signal conditioning and acquiring module, and a digital processing and analyzing module; the transient oil pressure characteristic measuring module, the transient oil flow characteristic measuring module, and the transient acceleration characteristic measuring module are each connected to the signal conditioning and acquiring module, and the signal conditioning and acquiring module is connected to the digital processing and analyzing module. A transformer monitoring method based on non-electricity comprehensive characteristic information is also provided. The apparatus and method calculate an operating oil pressure, an operating oil flow, and an operating acceleration, which characterize a running state of the transformer, by comprehensively using information of a plurality of non-electricity transient characteristics in the transformer.

Example aspects of a remote-operated flushing system and a method of operating a flushing system are disclosed. The remote-operated flushing system can comprise a fluid routing assembly comprising a valve, the valve configurable in an open configuration, wherein fluid is permitted to flow through the fluid routing assembly, and a closed configuration, wherein the fluid is prohibited from flowing through the fluid routing assembly; a control device configured to actuate the valve between the open configuration and closed configuration; a remote operation device wirelessly connected to the control device and configured to remotely operate the control device to control the actuation of the valve between the open configuration and closed configuration; and a sensor configured to detect a fluid property of the fluid within the fluid routing assembly, wherein the control device is configured to wirelessly send a signal representative of the fluid property detected by the sensor.
