Abstract:
A mobile cleaning and sanitizing system comprisinga controllable fluid manifold having an inlet and at least first and second outlets, said manifold being switchable between a first condition which connects the inlet to the first outlet and a second condition which connects the inlet to the second outlet; a water source providing water at a selected pressure to said inlet; a hand-held washing device; a first fluid path extending between the first manifold outlet and the hand-held washing device, said first path including a controllable first valve; a hand-held rinsing device; a second fluid path extending between the second manifold outlet and the hand-held rinsing device, said second path including, in series, ozone injection means and a controllable second valve; a controllable ozone generator in fluid communication with the ozone injection means and which, when activated, provides ozone to the ozone injection means for mixing with any water flowing therethrough, and switch means connected to and for controlling said manifold, said valves and said ozone generator, said switch means being switchable between a first state which switches the manifold to said first state, opens and said first valve and closes said second valve, and a second state which switches the manifold to said second condition, closes the first valve, opens the second valve while activating the ozone generator so that ozone is provided to the ozone injection means only when water is actually flowing from the water source along the second path to the rinsing device.
