  • Apparatus and method for controlling bulk dispensing of wash aid by sensing wash aid concentration
    Patent number: 8555677
    Abstract: A treatment aid dispensing apparatus for an automatic treatment appliance includes a bulk treatment aid dispenser, a sensor coupled with the bulk treatment aid dispenser, and a controller coupled with the sensor and the bulk treatment aid dispenser. A quantity of an undiluted treatment aid can be determined by the controller prior to dispensing from the bulk treatment aid dispenser based upon information from the sensor indicative of a sensed concentration of the undiluted treatment aid. The controller can process the information from the sensor and control the operation of the bulk treatment aid dispenser.
