Producing solutions from concentrates

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for locally producing a solution using a concentrate. In a localized solution production unit, a solution is identified in association with the concentrate. A mixing profile is selected from among a plurality of mixing profiles based on the solution identified. A base fluid is dispensed into a mixing container docked in a container dock. The mixing container includes a mixing impeller rotatably coupled to the mixing container via an impeller shaft extending from a base of the mixing container. A controller actuates an actuator in the container dock to cause an impeller in the mixing container to rotate. The concentrate is dispensed into the mixing container and mixed with the base fluid via the impeller based on the selected mixing profile.

CONTROLLED DISSOLUTION SOLID PRODUCT DISPENSER

A method, apparatus, and system for obtaining a solution from a solid product are disclosed. A solid product is housed in a dispenser. A liquid is introduced into the housing of the dispenser to interact with the solid product to form a solution. To control the concentration of the formed solution, the turbulence of the liquid introduced to the dispenser is controlled and adjusted either manually or on a real time basis to account for varying characteristics of either or both of the solid product and the liquid. The dispenser will adjust the turbulence based on the characteristics to maintain a formed solution within an acceptable range of concentration. The concentrated solution can then be discharged from the dispenser to an end use application.

ENHANCED WATER DISPENSING SYSTEM
20260048369 · 2026-02-19 ·

A hydration system is provided for preparing customized beverages from a municipal water source. The system includes a housing configured for wall-mounted or freestanding installation, a multistage purification assembly, a mixing chamber, additive delivery subsystems, and a temperature regulation module. Additives may be dispensed from liquid reservoirs or a powder dispensing assembly and mixed with purified water in a vortex mixer. A control unit regulates flow paths, additive dosing, temperature, and dispensing based on user input received via a touchless interface, NFC module, or wireless application. The system may incorporate UV-C sterilization, load cell volume verification, and automated cleaning cycles. Sensors throughout the system monitor fluid conditions and support responsive operation. Optional configurations support biometric identification, cloud connectivity, and data logging. The modular architecture permits deployment in residential, commercial, and public environments. Aesthetic enclosures may be adapted to blend with architectural surroundings while maintaining accessibility and hygiene compliance.
