Claims
- 1. A water storage system to deliver liquid at an operating temperature at a preset time set by a user of the system comprising:
- (a) a liquid storage means;
- (b) a temperature regulation means;
- (c) a temperature sensor to sense the temperature of liquid in said liquid storage means; and
- (d) a controller which controls the operation of said temperature regulation means in accordance with a temperature sensed by said temperature sensor,
- wherein said controller energises said temperature regulation means at a time prior to said preset time, at which said liquid is to be demanded at said operating temperature, sufficient that said liquid reaches operating temperature at said preset time.
- 2. A system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said controller is adapted to enable a plurality of preset times to be included.
- 3. A liquid storage system to deliver liquid at an operating temperature at a preset time set by a user of the system comprising:
- a liquid storage means;
- a temperature regulation means;
- a controller means being adapted to control operation of said temperature regulation means;
- a sensing means to detect a liquid temperature in said liquid storage means;
- a safety means to enable said temperature regulation means to be disabled; and
- a reset means coupled to a power source via a transforming means and adapted to lower a voltage level of said power source to a level safe for use by the user;
- said reset means being operable to reset said safety means to enable said controller means to again operate said temperature regulation means;
- wherein said controller means energizes said temperature regulation means at a time prior to said preset time, at which liquid is to be demanded at said operating temperature, sufficient such that said liquid reaches operating temperature at said preset time.
- 4. A liquid storage system to deliver liquid at an operating temperature at a preset time set by a user of the system comprising:
- a liquid storage container;
- a temperature regulator;
- a controller being adapted to control operation of said temperature regulator;
- a sensor to detect a liquid temperature in said liquid storage container;
- a safety mechanism which disables said temperature regulator; and
- a reset mechanism coupled to a power source and a transformer and adapted to lower a voltage level of said power source to a level safe for use by the user;
- said reset mechanism being operable to reset said safety mechanism to enable said controller to again operate said temperature regulator;
- wherein said controller energizes said temperature regulator at a time prior to said preset time, at which liquid is to be demanded at said operating temperature, sufficient such that said liquid reaches operating temperature at said preset time.
