Method and apparatus for dispensing a use solution
First Claim
1. A method of dispensing a liquid concentrate from a dispenser, the dispenser having an aspirator having a first inlet port, a second inlet port and an outlet port, the dispenser further having a shut off valve, an actuator valve and an operator, the method comprising:
- a) moving the operator from a first position to a second position;
b) transferring movement of the operator to control the actuator valve; and
c) transferring movement of the operator to control the shut off valve, wherein moving the operator allows control of both the actuator valve and the shut off valve with one movement.

Abstract
An apparatus for diluting a liquid concentrate with a liquid diluent to form a use solution is provided. The apparatus includes an aspirator having a first inlet port, second inlet port, and an outlet port. A liquid diluent conducting means is connected to the first inlet port and a liquid concentrate conducting means is connected to the second inlet port of the aspirator for supplying thereto the liquid diluent and liquid concentrate respectively. Movement of a shut off valve and actuator valve operator controls both the shut off valve which is in fluid communication with the outlet port and the actuator valve which is in fluid communication with the liquid diluent conducting means to control flow of the liquid diluent.
