ABSTRACT:
A washing apparatus for providing a fluid such as hot water to either a spray nozzle or a dishwasher. A thermostatically controlled heated water storage tank supplies fluid to a piping system having a first branch and a second branch. The first branch is directed to the inlet of a pumping system which pumps hot water to a first outlet of the apparatus. The first branch also includes a bypass line. The second branch of the piping system is directed toward a second outlet of the apparatus and includes a flow sensing switch. The first outlet is adapted for connection to a spray wand having a high pressure nozzle therein for supplying high pressure sprayed fluid as desired. The second outlet is adapted for connection to a dishwasher having a solenoid controlled inlet valve. As long as the dishwasher is not running, the pumping system and spray wand may be used normally. If the dishwasher is turned on, the flow sensing switch, which is connected to the control circuitry of the motor driving the pumping system, senses the flow in the second piping branch and shuts off power to the pumping system motor. In this way, the dishwasher has priority over the spray wand, and adequate fluid flow to the dishwasher is insured.
