Water treatment system with moisture detector

A water treatment system including a UV bulb (100), a moisture detector (102), and a control circuit responsive to the moisture detector to terminate power to the bulb when moisture is detected. The moisture detector (102) includes a nonconductive substrate and a pair of conductors on the substrate....

Zusammenfassung:A water treatment system including a UV bulb (100), a moisture detector (102), and a control circuit responsive to the moisture detector to terminate power to the bulb when moisture is detected. The moisture detector (102) includes a nonconductive substrate and a pair of conductors on the substrate. When moisture is not present, the detector (102) is nonconductive. However, when moisture accumulates on the detector (102), the moisture provides a conductive path between the conductors so that the detector (102) becomes conductive. When moisture is detected, the control circuit terminates powerto the bulb (100) and/or provides an appropriate indication to the system user.
