  • Method and apparatus for detecting stagnant water
    Patent number: 10184814
    Abstract: A method of detecting stagnant water includes flowing a water in a pipe and producing electrical energy via the flow of the water. The electrical energy is stored in an energy store. A change of state of the energy store is detected and information about possible stagnation of the water is obtained from the change of state of the energy store. An apparatus for detecting stagnant drinking water includes a generator for producing electrical energy, an energy store for storing that energy, a control and analysis unit which detects the charge state of the energy store and a signal transmitter which emits a signal depending on the charge state of the energy store.

  • Sanitary outlet insert
    Patent number: 10161120
    Abstract: A sanitary outlet insert which can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, comprising a flow limiter that has an adjusting element which regulates or limits the flow area in cooperation with a counter element. The flow area of the flow limiter can be preselected or varied by an axial change of the relative position of the adjusting element and the counter element; in that additionally a handle is provided on the outlet end face of the outlet insert, said handle being designed as a pushbutton; and in that an adjusting movement on the handle can be converted into a relative axial movement of the adjusting element and the counter element by means of a pushbutton mechanism.

  • Throughflow controller
    Patent number: 10099230
    Abstract: A sanitary insert part includes an insert housing, which includes in a housing interior thereof a functional element that controls throughflow and that has at least one throughflow orifice. At least one throughflow opening is delimited by a peripheral wall, the shape of which can be changed against a restoring force as a result of the pressure of the inflowing water in such a manner that the at least one throughflow orifice has a variable orifice cross section which can be changed, in dependence on the pressure of the inflowing water, between an open position and a minimized position having a reduced orifice cross section by comparison.
