Abstract (en)

Method for controlling a water supply and treatment system (2) for a household appliance (1), comprising the following phases:• receiving a command for activating the water supply and treatment system (2);• activating the valve system (21) in order to permit the transit of a water flow;• monitoring at least one supplied water sensing device (22) ;• determining the flow rate of the water flowing through the water supply and treatment system (2);• executing a decision-making step, wherein it is evaluated if the determined water flow rate exceeds a predefined threshold;o if the determined flow rate value is greater than or equal to said threshold, then continuing to supply water into the household appliance (1) until the desired quantity is reached, by controlling said valve system (21) in a first mode;o if the determined flow rate value is smaller than said threshold, then continuing to supply water into the household appliance (1) until the desired quantity is reached, by controlling said valve system (21) in a second mode, different from said first mode;• deactivating the valve system (21) in order to prevent the transit of a water flow through the water supply and treatment system (2).
