Systems and methods for controlling an operational status of a waste disposer are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a waste disposer assembly includes a waste disposer, a sprayer mechanism, and a switching system. The waste disposer is configured to be supported in relation to a sink. The sprayer mechanism is configured to be supportable in relation to the sink, is coupled at least indirectly to the sink by way of an extendable and retractable linkage, and includes an actuator mechanism that, upon being actuated, causes generation of a control signal. The switching system is supported in relation to the sink, is coupled at least indirectly to each of the sprayer mechanism and disposer, and is configured to operate so that, upon receiving the control signal from the actuator mechanism, a related signal is provided to the disposer causing the disposer to change or take on operational status.

A control unit is located under a kitchen sink. The control unit controls the timing of the power demand from each device so that they can all be run from a single electrical circuit coupled to the control unit. The control unit also accommodates sensors and other accessories such as flow meters, electronic faucets, leak detectors, shutoff valves, and state communication either wired or wireless which allows these sensors and other accessories to be added with little additional cost beyond the cost of the sensors and other accessories.

A lavatory system includes a countertop, a fixture, and a soap system mounted to the countertop adjacent the fixture. The fixture includes at least one leg, a first passage and a second passage distributed through the at least one leg, and an extension section extending from the at least one leg. A first tube carrying water extends through one of the first passage and the second passage, while a second tube carrying soap extends through one of the first passage and the second passage. The soap system includes a mounting component within an orifice of the countertop, a refill port extending through the mounting component to a soap container below the countertop, a cap over the refill port, and a soap pump to transmit soap from the soap container to the second tube of the fixture. A mounting bracket is secured below the countertop to support the soap container.

A faucet with integrated manual and automatic flow control, which includes a faucet body, a valve, a handle, a cold water inlet pipe, a hot water inlet pipe, a water outlet pipe, a sensing unit and a control device. The valve and the control device are both arranged inside the faucet body. The handle is arranged on one side of the faucet body and is connected with one end of the valve, the other end of the valve is connected with the control device. The sensing unit is arranged on the faucet body and is electrically connected with the control device. The cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe are both connected to one end of the water outlet pipe through the valve.

A wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device with integrated valve. More particularly, a wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device includes a wall-mountable base body and a valve fastenable to the base body. The sanitary conduit connection device according to an illustrative embodiment includes a wall-mountable base body having a receiving sleeve and a water inlet duct which, with an inlet duct outflow, leads peripherally into the receiving sleeve, an electrically controllable valve having a cylindrical valve cartridge which is axially insertable into the receiving sleeve and in which a valve unit is located, which valve cartridge has an electrical valve connection unit on a first end face and a pipe connection coupling on a second end face and includes, on a peripheral side, a valve inlet opening which is capable of being coupled to the inlet duct outflow in a fluid-tight manner, and a fastening unit for fastening the valve cartridge in a fixed position in the receiving sleeve.

Provided is a hot and cold water mixer capable of performing stable temperature control, including a cold water supply pipe, a hot water supply pipe, a mixing pipe, flow rate adjustment valves, temperature sensors, flow rate sensors, a setting unit, and a control unit. When the control unit determines that either one of the flow rate adjustment valves cannot increase the flow rate, and also determines, by comparing the target flow rate for the one flow rate adjustment valve with the flow rate of water flowing through the one flow rate adjustment valve, that the target flow rate for the one flow rate adjustment valve is higher, the control unit calculates and updates the target flow rate for the other flow rate adjustment valve and controls the other flow rate adjustment valve based on the updated target flow rate.

A smart shower head to regulate temperature of water being supplied is disclosed. The smart shower head comprises a showering section (101) for showering water, a shower head arm connecting the showering section (101) and supplying water to the showering section (101), and at least one compartmentalized nero-thermal coil 103 running through the length of the shower head arm (102) and the showering section (101).

A pot filler including a metered dispense input device for dispensing of predetermined volumes of water. The pot filler illustratively includes an electrically operable valve operably coupled to a metered dispense input unit, and a control module configured to control operation of the electrically operable valve.

A controller is provided for use in a wet environment such as an ablutionary setting. The controller includes a base member, an input member, a seal extending between the input member and the base member, and a sealed internal volume defined at least partially by the base member, the input member, and the seal. The input member is moveable relative to the base member between a neutral position and a control position. The seal biases the input member towards the neutral position.

This disclosure relates to a sanitary fitting for dispensing prepared liquids, for example, for beverages. A disclosed system includes a first control element for setting a quantity of the prepared liquid to be dispensed and an actuating element for providing the quantity of prepared liquid set by means of the first control element, wherein at least one second control element is configured to select a type of preparation, for example, from at least two different types of preparation, of non-prepared liquid, wherein the first and the at least one second control element are actuatable independently of one another.
