Fluid dispensing system with dual outlet tandem fast flow

A fluid dispensing system, comprising:

• a selectively removable reservoir tank in fluid communication with a tank port;
• a reservoir tube further comprising a first end in downstream fluid communication with the selectively removable reservoir tank at the tank port and a second end opposite the first end;
• a tank dispense valve in downstream fluid communication with the second end of the reservoir tube;
• a plumbing tube;
• and
• a connector further comprising a first input defining a first channel, a second input defining a second channel, and an outlet;
• wherein the first input is in fluid communication with the tank dispense valve, the second input is in fluid communication with the plumbing tube, and the outlet is positioned opposite the first input and the second input to position the first channel proximate the second channel at an output point;
• wherein the first channel and the second channel are sized to provide a first fluid flow rate from the tank dispense valve to the output point that is greater than a second fluid flow rate from the plumbing tube to the output point;
• and
• wherein the tank dispense valve supplies a first fluid flow to the first channel at the first fluid flow rate and the plumbing tube supplies a second fluid flow to the second channel at the second fluid flow rate in tandem to combine the first fluid flow and the second fluid flow together to dispense through the outlet at a fast flow rate or the tank dispense valve remains closed while the plumbing tube supplies the second fluid flow to the second channel at the second fluid flow rate to dispense through the outlet at a slow flow rate.

A method for dispensing fluid, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a dispensing system, wherein the dispensing system comprises a reservoir tank in upstream fluid communication with a first input of a connector, a plumbing tube in upstream fluid communication with a second input of the connector, a tank dispense valve in fluid communication with at least the reservoir tank and the first input, and a tank fill tube comprising a tank fill valve in fluid communication with the plumbing tube and the reservoir tank;
• supplying a second fluid flow from the plumbing tube to the second input of the connector to dispense the second fluid flow from an output point defined by an outlet of the connector;
• selectively actuating the tank dispense valve to supply a first fluid flow from the reservoir tank to the first input of the connector to dispense in tandem with the second fluid flow from the output point;
• positioning the tank dispense valve at a closed position to dispense the second fluid flow from the output point at a slow flow rate and positioning the tank dispense valve at an open position to dispense the first fluid flow and the second fluid flow together at a fast flow rate greater than the slow flow rate;
• and
• closing the tank fill valve during the supplying the second fluid flow from the plumbing tube to the second input and opening the tank fill valve to automatically supply a third fluid flow from the plumbing tube to the reservoir tank according to a measured fluid level within the reservoir tank.
