Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Assemblies designed to facilitate detection of water flow in low water flow situations. In some embodiments, the assembly includes a channel that narrows from an inlet end of the assembly to an outlet end of the assembly to increase the velocity of water flowing through the channel. In some embodiments, the assembly may also include a water delivery mechanism that delivers water flowing through the channel to a flow sensor and enables the detection of water flow, even in low flow situations.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A chlorine-generating assembly comprising: an upper portion comprising a plurality of chlorine-generating electrode plates; and a lower portion comprising an inlet, an outlet and a flow channel that extends between the inlet and the outlet, wherein: the plurality of chlorine-generating electrode plates are positioned at least partially within the flow channel; the chlorine-generating assembly is configured to move between an unlocked position in which the upper portion is rotatable relative to the lower portion and a locked position in which the upper portion is restricted from rotating relative to the lower portion; and a quarter-turn of the upper portion relative to the lower portion moves the chlorine-generating assembly between the unlocked position and the locked position.
