<p>A household appliance has a fluid dispensing system for dispensing a fluid ( 2 ) and a dosing system for dosing an additive into the fluid ( 2 ). The fluid dispensing system comprises fluid supply means ( 3,8 ), a dispensing nozzle ( 5 ), and a conduit ( 6 ) connecting the supply means to the dispensing nozzle ( 5 ). The dosing system comprises an additive reservoir ( 14 ) for containing the additive ( 12 ) and an outlet ( 22 ) connecting the additive reservoir (14) to the dispensing system. Pumping means ( 8,15,16 ) are provided for pumping the fluid ( 2 ) and the additive ( 12 ) towards the dispensing nozzle ( 5 ). A reliable dosing of additive is achieved in that the outlet ( 22 ) of the additive ( 12 ) communicates with the conduit (6) in a position downstream of said pumping means. A dispensing system for such an appliance is described.</p> |
