A water delivery control system operates to selectively deliver water from a water source to water use devices. The system includes at least one controller that wirelessly communicates messages with a portable user device. The system includes a water control valve and a motor that is operative to selectively move at least one valve element of the valve. A water meter is operative to measure water flow that corresponds to flow through the valve. The controller is operable to cause the valve to enable or prevent flow through the valve responsive at least in part to water flow data. The controller is operative to determine a water use condition responsive to a water usage pattern, and to cause at least one message to be sent to the portable user device responsive to the determined water use condition.

Water management system

Water control system

An exemplary liquid treatment system includes at least one control valve in operative connection with a liquid treatment tank. The liquid treatment tank includes treatment material therein that is operative to treat the liquid that passes therethrough. The liquid treatment material is periodically regenerated to restore treatment function. At least one valve controller is operative to control the flow of liquid through the liquid treatment tank and to deliver treated liquid to liquid use devices. A further tank is operative to produce a saturated liquid solution of regeneration material that is usable to regenerate the liquid treatment material in the liquid treatment tank. The further tank includes at least one pressure sensor and at least one temperature sensor. The at least one pressure sensor and at least one temperature sensor are in operative connection with the at least one valve controller to determine that adequate saturated regeneration material is produced and delivered to the liquid treatment tank.

Valve control system

Water delivery control system

A water delivery control system operates to selectively deliver water from a water source to water use devices. The system includes a master controller that wirelessly communicates messages with a plurality of slave controllers. The system includes a valve slave controller associated with a water control valve and a motor that is operative to selectively move at least one valve element of the valve. A water meter is operative to measure water flow that corresponds to flow through the valve. The master controller is operable to cause the valve slave controller to enable or prevent flow through the valve responsive at least in part to water flow data. The controller is operative to determine a water use condition responsive to a water usage pattern, and to cause at least one message to be sent to a portable user device responsive to the determined water use condition. The user interface slave controller is associated with a user interface.

Pison valve with annular passages

An exemplary valve control system includes a master controller that wirelessly communicates with a plurality of slave controllers. The slave controllers are each associated with respective devices and sensors. In exemplary arrangements a valve slave controller is associated with a motor that controls a condition of a valve. An exemplary control valve includes a valve body with a plurality of ports (A, B, C, D, E, F) and a plurality of annular flow passages. A piston is selectively movable within a bore within the valve body through operation of the motor and valve slave controller. The valve slave controller is selectively operative to control the position of the piston so as to selectively enable liquid flow through the valve.
