Abstract
In a first aspect, a valve assembly is provided that includes a valve assembly output adapted to output at least one of DI water and a chemical. A first valve of the valve assembly includes (1) a first input adapted to receive the chemical; (2) a first output adapted to circulate the chemical to a chemical return; and (3) a second output adapted to output the chemical to the valve assembly output. The valve assembly also includes a second valve positioned downstream from the first valve. The second valve includes (1) an input adapted to receive deionized (DI) water; and (2) an output adapted to output DI water to the valve assembly output. A check valve is coupled between the second output of the first valve and the output of the second valve, and the first valve, second valve and check valve are included in a single manifold.
