Mechanism of this product

When turning on the faucet, the water pressure inside this product (pump) decreases. When the built-in
fine sensor(*1) detects a pressure failure, the pump operates automatically to set the water pressure back to
the prescribed level. When the water supply reduces to less than approximately 4 liters/min by turning off
the tap, the fine sensor detects it and the pump stops automatically. (The pump may not stop soon because
of the timer function. This is not a failure.)

Operating principle
When turning on the faucet, the water pressure inside this product (pump) decreases. When the built-in
fine sensor(*1) detects a pressure failure, the pump operates automatically to set the water pressure back
to the prescribed level. When the water supply reduces to less than approximately 4 liters/min by turning
off the tap, the fine sensor detects it and the pump stops automatically. (The pump may not stop soon
because of the timer function. This is not a failure.)
