Claim 9:
10. A system to selectively refill a jar, the system comprising:
A) a microprocessor-based control element comprising wireless and USB port connectivity and positioned within a housing case assembly to selectively generate a fluid dispensing sequence and selectively turn a housing based pumping assembly electrically coupled to the microprocessor-based control element on and off based upon real time active RFID reader inputs and real time inputs from a housing based bulk source container scale assembly and a housing based fill jar scale assembly both electrically coupled to the microprocessor-based control element;
B) a bulk source container tower and a fill jar tower within the housing on either side of and fluidly connected to the pumping assembly, whereby each tower is electrically coupled to the microprocessor-based control element and each tower is positioned proximate to its respective scale assembly such that a such that an input end of an external 90 degree bend tube affixed to a bulk source container tower top manifold assembly and sized is centered above a bulk source container positioned on the bulk source container scale assembly and an output end of the external 90 degree bend tube affixed to a fill jar tower top manifold assembly is centered above a fill jar positioned on the fill jar scale assembly;
C) the microprocessor-based control element selectively raising the bulk source container tower top manifold assembly as necessary to remove and replace an empty bulk source container or to flush a fluid system and then lowering the bulk source container tower top manifold assembly back to an operational state for refilling the fill jar;
D) the microprocessor-based control element selectively raising the fill jar tower top manifold assembly as necessary to remove and replace a full fill jar or to flush the fluid system and then lowering the fill jar tower top manifold assembly for refilling an empty fill jar;
E) the microprocessor-based control element comprises an electronic memory module comprising a database pertaining to the bulk source container, the fill jar, and system operations, the database being retrievable to a remote data server via wireless communication or by direct access through a USB connection port in the housing; and
F) an LCD assembly comprising an interactive display coupled to a housing front wall wherein the display is configured to be viewed, the display being electronically coupled to the microprocessor-based control element wherein real time fluid dispensing operational parameters and system diagnostics are on the interactive display.
