Patent number: 7883623Abstract: A dispenser system that takes high pressure fluid such as a high pressure water source and reduces the volume flow of the high pressure water as it flows into a dispenser with the dispenser having a low pressure outlet, which offers negligible fluid resistance in comparison to the inlet fluid resistance to the dispenser, thereby ensuring that if a dispenser cap is accidentally removed from the dispenser while the unit is in operation the water will not spray out into and onto the user. The dispensing system includes a removable cartridge carrier with adjustable openings and a dispenser housing that one can maintain a uniform flow pattern under different flow rates to provide for a predicable control of a dispersion rate from a dispersant located in the system and a method of predictably changing the dispersion rate of a dispersant.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2008Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: King TechnologyInventors: Joseph A. King, Jeffery Johnson, Marlin Frank

Patent number: 5362383Abstract: A self-contained monitoring system for monitoring the operating condition of a fluid treatment device. A housing provides a pair of flow passages, one for liquid supplied to, and the other for liquid treated by the fluid treatment device. Separate pairs of electrodes are provided, with one pair of electrodes extending into one of the flow passages and the other pair extending into the other flow passage. The conductivities between each pair of electrodes are provided as signals to an electronic circuit contained within the housing which provides electrical output signals indicative of the operating condition of the fluid treatment device based upon the conductivity of the supplied and treated fluid flows.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1993Date of Patent: November 8, 1994Assignee: Ecowater Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Zimmerman, Marlin A. Frank
