Publication number: 20220325459Abstract: A water use management system may be installed in a setting that contains a primary infrastructure for water use to provide an alternate, modular infrastructure for water use. Fresh water used at various points of use, such as a shower or sink, may be diverted into the modular infrastructure prior to draining into the primary infrastructure. Once diverted, the precedent use water is received at a reservoir system where it is treated for a subsequent use. Treatment may include filtration and/or chemical treatment, and may be based upon sensor feedback from the reservoir system. Once treated, the water is ready for subsequent use and may flow from the reservoir system, via the modular infrastructure, to a subsequent point of use, such as a toilet.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Anna L. Connolly, Colin John Clarke, Robert Webbink, Nathalie Sophie Letzelter

Publication number: 20220316191Abstract: A water use management system may be installed in a setting that contains a primary infrastructure for water use to provide an alternate, modular infrastructure for water use. Fresh water used at various points of use, such as a shower or sink, may be modified by a point of use water conditioner. Water may be modified at the point of use based upon pre-configured routines or manual user selections. Treatments performed on the water may include quality treatments, such as modifying the pH or mineral content, and may also include experience treatments, such as the addition of scents, colors, carbonation, or health and beauty supplements. Additives used during treatment are provided in cartridges that may be inserted and removed from the water conditioner. Cartridges may self-identify when inserted, to aid in compatibility and usability determinations and recycling/recertification processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Colin John Clarke, Frantz Beznik, Anna L. Connolly, Dai Sanders, Grace Kane, Chris Jones, Andrew Wallace, Benedict Taylor, Miles Kilburn, Stephen Wright
