Method and apparatus for indicating a parameter of transmitted fluid

A method comprising the steps of:

• receiving a fluid from a fluid source using a conduit having an input and an output, the conduit input being operatively coupled to the fluid source so that the fluid may be transmitted from the fluid source to the conduit output;
• detecting a first parameter of the fluid using a first sensor, the first sensor being in operative communication with the fluid;
• and
• in response to the first sensor detecting the first parameter of the fluid, indicating, using a first indicator that is operatively coupled to the conduit, whether the first parameter fails to satisfy a first predetermined condition by illuminating at least a portion of the conduit.

A fluid indicator device for operatively coupling to a fluid source and a conduit, the conduit being operable to transmit a fluid from the fluid source to an output of the conduit, the fluid indicator device comprising:

• a first sensor for operatively communicating with the fluid and for detecting a first parameter of the fluid,
• a first indicator, comprising one or more light sources, for operatively coupling to the conduit;
• and
• in response to the first sensor detecting the first parameter of the fluid, the first indicator being operable to indicate whether the first parameter fails to satisfy a first predetermined condition by illuminating at least a portion of the conduit.
