Abstract
A water appliance (1) has a water flow control unit (2) for controlling a water flow. The control unit (2) includes a flow restrictor (6) and a leakage stop (12) in serial fluid communication with the flow restrictor (6). The leakage stop (12) cuts off the flow below a predetermined value of a pressure difference between an inlet (9) and an outlet (10) of the flow restrictor (6).
Claims9
A water appliance (1) having a water flow control unit (2) for controlling a water flow, characterized in that the control unit (2) includes a flow restrictor (6) and a leakage stop (12) in serial fluid communication with the flow restrictor (6), for cutting-off the flow below a predetermined value of a pressure difference between an inlet and an outlet of the flow restrictor (6).
