Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to a waterfall sprayer system configured to integrate both a traditional faucet and a waterfall sprayer into a consumer faucet system in compliance with regulatory requirements. The waterfall sprayer system integrates a diverter and/or a controller, ensuring a smooth transition between the faucet fixture and the waterfall sprayer and preventing the backflow of water into the water supply. The waterfall sprayer system can also include an ozone generator configured to produce ozonated air. Ozonated air from the ozone generator can be injected into water at a Venturi assembly to produce ozonated water. Ozonated water can flow from the Venturi assembly to the waterfall sprayer for use in spraying operations
