Abstract
A septic treatment system includes a dispensing apparatus and a computing device that controls the dispensing apparatus through a communication link to dispense a septic treatment composition according to a dispensing operation sequence that is selected based on processing external data received from an external device. The septic treatment system may be configured to dispense the septic treatment composition into a septic tank through one or more drain lines. The external data may include cartridge data associated with a cartridge from which the dispensing apparatus is configured to receive the septic treatment composition. The selected dispensing operation sequence may be selected based on being associated with a particular cartridge group identifier code that may be determined based on the cartridge data.
Claims23
A septic treatment system, the septic treatment system comprising:
- a dispensing apparatus;
- and
- a computing device, the computing device communicatively coupled to the dispensing apparatus through a communication link, the computing device configured to control the dispensing apparatus through the communication link to cause the dispensing apparatus to dispense a septic treatment composition according to a selected dispensing operation sequence from among at least a plurality of dispensing operation sequences, the selected dispensing operation sequence selected based on processing external data received from an external device, each dispensing operation sequence of the plurality of dispensing operation sequences associated with at least one of a separate dispensing operation frequency, a separate amount of septic treatment composition dispensed per dispensing operation, or a separate maximum dispensing operation quantity.
A computing device for a septic treatment system, the computing device comprising:
- a communication interface configured to establish a communication link with a dispensing apparatus;
- a memory storing a program of instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the program of instructions to,
- cause the computing device to control the dispensing apparatus through the communication link to cause the dispensing apparatus to dispense a septic treatment composition according to a selected dispensing operation sequence from among at least a plurality of dispensing operation sequences, the selected dispensing operation sequence selected based on processing external data received from an external device, each dispensing operation sequence of the plurality of dispensing operation sequences associated with at least one of a separate dispensing operation frequency, a separate amount of septic treatment composition dispensed per dispensing operation, or a separate maximum dispensing operation quantity.
A method for controlling a septic treatment system, the method comprising:
- receiving external data from an external device through a first communication link;
- and
- transmitting a control signal to a dispensing apparatus through a second communication link to cause the dispensing apparatus to dispense a septic treatment composition according to a selected dispensing operation sequence from among at least a plurality of dispensing operation sequences, the selected dispensing operation sequence selected based on processing the external data, each dispensing operation sequence of the plurality of dispensing operation sequences associated with at least one of a separate dispensing operation frequency, a separate amount of septic treatment composition dispensed per dispensing operation, or a separate maximum dispensing operation quantity.
