Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention include devices and methods for detecting water loss and consumption from commercial and residential commodes. In one aspect, the device comprises a valve for water control. The water flow control device includes: (i) an inlet in fluid communication with a flow sensor, (ii) a shut-off assembly located downstream of and in fluid communication with the flow sensor, (iii) a controller configured to receive input from the flow sensor and configured to send a signal to the shut-off assembly, and (iv) an outlet located downstream of and in fluid communication with the shut-off assembly.

Claim (Index 1):
A water flow control device having:\n a water inlet; a flow sensor assembly in fluid communication with the inlet, wherein the flow sensor assembly includes a flow sensing impeller; a shut-off assembly, wherein the shut-off assembly is located downstream of and in fluid communication with the flow sensor assembly; a controller configured to receive input from the flow sensor assembly, determine if the received input falls within predetermined flow characteristic limits, and to send a signal to the shut-off assembly whenever the received input falls outside of the predetermined limits; and a water outlet, wherein the outlet is located downstream of and in fluid communication with the shut-off assembly.
