A WATER PURIFIER ASSEMBLY PROVIDED WITH WATER LEAKAGE SENSING AND INDICATING MEANS

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a water purifier provided with water leakage sensing and indicating means.

BACKGROUND ART

Currently available water purifying systems have series of interconnected cartridge and modules capable of removing suspended impurities, sediments bacteria and other contaminants. Such purifiers are susceptible to water leakage through various joints filters and inter connections. Leakage of water arises out of improper fixing and mounting of the modules and joints as well as due to wear and tear of the unit. High pressure water input and flow through the unit may also lead to leakage. Water leakage understandably damages the unit and affects the surrounding area of installation.

THE FIELD OF THE INVENTION

It has been necessary to sense and indicate water leakage from a water purifier assembly due to the reasons stated above. It is an object of this invention to sense leakage of water from the modules of an integrated water purifying system and to signal and alert the customer about it.

Yet another object of this invention is to stop to input of water once the leakage is sensed and to cut off power supply to prevent short circuitry and allied consequences.

Accordingly this invention provides a sensor for sensing water leakage in a water purifier assembly. This sensor senses any leakage of water electronically and signals the PCB attached to the purifier unit. The PCB is programmed to activate the electromagnetic valve depending on the signals received from said sensor. The PCB is also programmed to provide audio/video signals to alert the customer in the event of

water leakage. The electric power supply and the water inlet will also be deactivated in the event of water leakage. It is understood that the PCB is programmed accordingly.

The sensor means may be located at any suitable position of the integrated water purifying assembly.
