Abstract (en)
A water treatment system comprising a cold water feed line (106) and a hot water feed line (104) coupled to a mixing valve (108), wherein the mixing valve (108) comprises an output which is coupled to a treatment outlet (114) via a mixed water feed line (124, 126). An electronically operated mixed water valve (118) is included in the mixed water feed line (124, 126). In addition to the mixed water feed line (126) a cold water bypass line (115) is coupling the cold water feed line (106) to the treatment outlet (114) via an electronically operated cold water valve (116) included in the cold water bypass line (115). A controller (102) is coupled to the mixed water valve (118) and the cold water valve (116) and is configured to operate the mixed water valve (118) and/or the cold water valve (116) to change the water temperature at the treatment outlet (114) according to a water treatment procedure. One advantage of the invention is that a user is enabled to easily set a relaxing warm temperature with the mixing valve, while being able to activate an automated water treatment procedure using the electronically operated valves.
