Abstract

A system for water distribution includes a core unit arranged to drive distribution of a water flow to one or more water user units; at least two water user units; and a control unit for operation of the system for water distribution. Two water user units have individual identities, and which the two water user units are connected to the control unit to enable for requesting for water of a certain flow and a certain temperature so that the control unit identifies which water user is making the request and then performs an activity based on the request.

Claims (16)

1 . A system for water distribution, said system comprising:

a core unit arranged to drive distribution of a water flow to one or more water user units;

at least two water user units; and

a control unit for operation of the system for water distribution,

wherein said two water user units have individual identities, and which said two water user units are connected to the control unit to enable for requesting for water of a certain flow and a certain temperature so that the control unit identifies which water user unit is making the request and then performs an activity based on the request,

wherein at least one water user unit is a water recirculating unit which is configured to recirculate water or to flow water to another water user unit or to discard water, and where the core unit is also arranged to drive water recirculation in said water recirculating unit, said water recirculating unit being connected to a water treatment unit or system.

2 . The system for water distribution according to claim 1 , wherein the core unit configured to control at least the parameters of water flow, water temperature, and water quality, and to receive requests and perform activities on these parameters.

3 . The system for water distribution according to claim 2 , wherein the core unit is configured to receive and process a request to perform activities, and also to change and improve water distribution in the system with reference to water consumption and/or energy consumption.

4 . The system for water distribution according to claim 1 , wherein the system also comprises at least one water storage tank positioned subsequent to at least one water user unit.

5 . The system for water distribution according to claim 4 , wherein said at least one storage tank comprises level control.

6 . The system for water distribution according to claim 1 , wherein at least one water user unit is a sink with a tap.

7 . The system for water distribution according to claim 1 , wherein at least one water user unit is a washing machine.

8 . The system for water distribution according to claim 1 , wherein the system also comprises a recirculating shower.

9 . The system for water distribution according to claim 1 , wherein the system for water distribution is arranged to provide distribution from one primary water user unit to at least one secondary water user unit, by means of gravitation or by means of an installed pump.

10 . The system for water distribution according to claim 9 , wherein the system for water distribution is arranged to provide distribution from the one primary water user unit to the at least one secondary water user unit by means of gravitation.

11 . The system for water distribution according to claim 9 , wherein the one primary water user unit is a sink with a tap and the at least one secondary water user unit is a toilette or a water tank in connection with the toilette.
