Abstract: A pressure-driven metered mixing dispensing pump has a first chamber, a second chamber, a third chamber in fluid communication with the first and second chambers and a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the third chamber. Selectively supplying a first fluid into the first chamber causes at least a portion of the first fluid and at least a portion of second fluid supplied into the second chamber to be mixed in the third chamber and dispensed through the fluid outlet.

Abstract: A pressure-driven metered treating chemistry dispensing pump for a laundry treating appliance having a housing having first, second and third chambers, with the first and second chambers each in fluid communication with the third chamber; a fluid inlet fluidly coupling a first fluid to the first chamber; an outlet fluidly coupled to the third chamber; a piston disposed in the housing; wherein, when the piston moves in a first direction in response to the first fluid entering the first chamber via the fluid inlet, the second chamber decreases in volume thereby ejecting at least some of the second fluid from the second chamber into the third chamber, and when the piston moves in a second direction, different from the first direction, the first chamber decreases in volume thereby ejecting at least some of the first fluid from the first chamber into the third chamber to mix the at least some of the first fluid and the at least some of the second fluid to form a mixture in the third chamber, which can be emitted t

Abstract: An example pressure-driven metered mixing dispensing pump includes a housing, a fluid inlet, a piston disposed in the housing at least partially defining first, second and third chambers, the first and second chambers each in fluid communication with the third chamber, the piston to, in response to first fluid entering the first chamber via the fluid inlet, move in a first direction to decrease the volume of the second chamber thereby ejecting second fluid from the second chamber into the third chamber, a spring to move the piston in a second direction to decrease the volume of the first chamber thereby ejecting at least some of the first fluid from the first chamber into the third chamber thereby mixing the at least some of the first fluid and the second fluid to form a mixture, and an outlet to discharge the mixture from the third chamber.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a laundry treating appliance comprising a treating chamber for receiving a load of laundry for treatment according to at least one cycle of operation wherein a dye containing liquid is generated in the treating chamber during the operation, the method comprising backwashing the pre-filter to remove the non-dye material from the pre-filter.

Abstract: A method of treating laundry in a laundry treating appliance having a treating chamber for receiving the laundry for treatment according to an automatic cycle of operation implemented by a controller of the laundry treating appliance includes receiving by the controller an input indicative of the laundry comprising at least one new laundry item.
