There is disclosed herein a system for cleansing a fluid pathway of a fluid dispensing assembly, the system including: an inlet to receive a supply of fluid to be delivered under pressure along the fluid pathway; an outlet in fluid communication downstream of said inlet to dispense fluid; and a replaceable cleansing cartridge locatable in fluid communication downstream of said inlet, the cartridge having at least a filter chamber and an anolyte generation chamber, the filter chamber including a filter medium and the anolyte generation chamber being configured to generate an anolyte, with the filter chamber and the anolyte generation chamber being in fluid communication so that the fluid received from the inlet passes through both chambers before exiting the outlet to deliver fluid to the fluid dispensing assembly.
A system for cleansing a fluid pathway of a fluid dispensing assembly, the system including:
The system according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the anolyte being generated is at a low concentration level to maintain a clean fluid pathway.
The system according to any one of the preceding claims, further including a pressure compensating flow restrictor configured to regulate a flow rate of the fluid delivered to the fluid pathway to facilitate mixing of the fluid within the cleansing cartridge to an effective cleansing concentration.
The system according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the filter medium includes a pleated membrane, a particulate removal medium and/or a carbon filtration material.
The system according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the anolyte generated by the anolyte generation chamber is hypochlorous acid.
The system according to any one of the preceding claims, further including a UV unit locatable along said fluid pathway.
The system according to any one of the preceding claims, further including a control unit to operate tasks within said cartridge, the control unit being electrically connected to said electrical port.
The system according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the system provides a continuous, in line low-level cleansing of the fluid pathway.
A replaceable cleansing cartridge to be operatively associated with a system for cleansing a fluid pathway of a fluid dispensing assembly, the cartridge including a key and a base configured to close a generally tubular housing defining a longitudinal axis, the housing surrounding the chambers, the cartridge include a filter chamber and an anolyte generation chamber, the filter chamber including a filter medium and the anolyte generation chamber being configured to generate an anolyte, the chambers being in fluid communication so that said fluid passes through both chambers before exiting said outlet to deliver cleansed fluid to the fluid dispensing assembly.
A method of cleansing a fluid pathway of a fluid dispensing assembly, the method including the steps of:
