Water saving system

摘要

A foot actuated flow control valve connected to a power supply for controlling the flow of a liquid substance through a water supply line to a faucet. The foot actuated flow control valve includes a bypass conduit connected to the water supply line; an electric switch connected to control a flow of water through the bypass conduit and a foot pedal connected between the electric switch and the power source. The electric switch includes a first terminal connected to a negative terminal of the power supply and a second terminal. The foot pedal includes a first terminal connected to a positive terminal of the power supply, a second terminal connected to the second terminal of the electric switch and a contact element connected to the first terminal of the foot pedal. When a pressure is applied to the foot pedal the contact element is caused to contact the second terminal of the foot pedal connecting the electric switch to the power supply. The application of a voltage to the electric switch causes the switch to open allowing water to pass through the bypass conduit. A bypass conduit and electric switch may be connected to both a hot and cold water supply lines for supplying either hot water, cold water or warm water through the faucet.
