1. A cleaning system, comprising:
- a cleaning device;
a pipeline having a first end;
a valve connected between the cleaning device and a second end of the pipeline to enable water flow from the pipeline to the cleaning device when the valve is held at an open position;
a limit switch connected to the valve for providing a signal in response to a position of the valve;
a controller electrically coupled to the limit switch to receive the signal; and
a monitor electrically connected to the controller and operating in response to the signal.

15. A cleaning system, comprising:
-
a cleaning device;
a water source;
a pipeline connected to the water source;
a first valve connected between the cleaning device and the pipeline to deliver water from the water source to the cleaning device when the first valve is held at an open position, and discontinue delivery of water when the first valve is held at a closed position;
a limit switch connected to the first valve for providing a signal in response to one of the positions of the valve; and
a controller electrically connected to the limit switch for receiving the signal and providing a notification of the cleaning device being in use. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
