There is no need for a separate valve for controlling the flow through the mixture conduit 331. As the in the rinsing mode water without additives flows through the mixture conduit 331, it is rinsed from additives which otherwise may remain in the mixture conduit 331. Such remaining additives could interact with later applications of other additives and/or cause fouling of the mixture conduit 331, in particular by bacterial growth.

  • the flow rate of the additive can be approximately one third of a total flow comprising water and additive.
  • the total flow can be between one and two litres per minute.
  • pulsed additive admixing herein, the flow of the additive is pulsed. This can be implemented by turning the corresponding additive pump on and off periodically. This allows to save additive and/or precisely dose the additive. This in turn allows to use a highly concentrated additive.
  • the flow rate of the additive can be approximately one sixth of the total flow. The total flow can be between one and two litres per minute.
  • pulsed water admixing herein, the flow of the water is pulsed.
  • This “pulsing” is a preferred mode of application for additives that serve for coloration or toning, because a higher concentration of the additive can be dispensed. This in turn results in a higher efficiency of the application of the additive.

  • This flow rate can be controlled by the proportional valve 19, with the main outlet valve 21 being closed.
  • Exceptional operating conditions can arise when one of the elements in the main channel 22 blocks the flow. This can be caused by a power failure, if the proportional valve 19 is a normally closed valve: then no water is delivered to the outlet 34 and it is not possible to terminate a treatment by rinsing away additives that were previously applied to e.g., a client's body or hair. In such a situation, a user of the water conditioning unit 2 can manually operate the bypass valve 20 to open it. As a result, via the bypass channel 24 water is provided to the junction 30 and to the outlet 34. This constitutes a third or bypass operating mode. If the main outlet valve 21 is a normally open valve, the water provided will flow through both the mixture conduit 331 and main conduit 332, resulting in the largest possible flow for rinsing.
  • hot and cold water supply lines pass via the inlet fitting 11 into the water conditioning unit 2, and mixing and temperature control is implemented within the water conditioning unit 2.
  • this mixer can be arranged following the inlet.
  • these valves jointly also take the role of the proportional valve 19, that is, to control, in addition to the temperature, the total flow through the main channel 22.
  • a corresponding topology of the water flow can be created, starting with the topology of Fig. 1, by introducing a second proportional valve, optionally preceded by an associated second pressure reducer and associated second pressure sensor, and fed through a second inlet.
  • the outflow of the second proportional valve joins that of the proportional valve 19 to flow through the flow meter 16 into the admixing section 224.
  • the bypass channel 24 can remain connected to an inlet supplied with cold water.
