<p>A Waste Disposal Control System (WDCS) that independently controls the water entering the waste disposal unit and the unit motor is disclosed. The WDCS (0), housed in a single box (1) has a low AC or DC voltage Solenoid (2) that switches the water supply. The power supply is via two standard 240v or 110 v three pin IPC plugs mounted on the adjacent face of the box (1) to the Solenoid. The male electrical socket (6) connects to the mains power supply (11), which the waste disposal (WD) (12) was previously connected to, and the female electrical socket (7) connects to the WD. The output of the solenoid is connected with a flexible hose to the existing inlet (10) of the WD by removing the“knock out”disc, designated as the“Dishwasher Drain”connection at the mouth of the WD (12). In use, when disposal of items in the sink (13) is desired, the WD switch (11) is turned on and the solenoid is activated sending water to the WD blades. After a delay of zero or greater seconds the motor of the WD is turned on. This control prevents blockages and miss-operation caused by the activation of the WD without water flowing. Various delays to the operation of the solenoid and WD are disclosed.</p> |
