Abstract: An electro-chlorinating device includes a housing and a pair of electrodes. The housing comprises a reservoir; an inlet port fluidly coupled to the reservoir; and a discharge device fluidly coupled to the reservoir. The discharge device is configured to be fluidly coupled to a plumbing product. The discharge device is configured to release a fluid from the reservoir into the plumbing product in response to a movement of water through the plumbing product. The pair of electrodes is coupled to the housing such that at least a portion of each electrode of the pair of electrodes is disposed within the reservoir.

Abstract: A toilet includes a bowl, a trapway, and a passage. The trapway is fluidly connected to the bowl at a trapway inlet and extends downstream from the bowl. The trapway includes an up-leg and a down-leg extending downstream from the up-leg. The passage is fluidly connected to the trapway downstream from the trapway inlet. The passage is configured to allow ambient air from outside the toilet to pass therethrough toward the trapway.

Abstract: An apparatus for the measurement of urine flow includes a microphone, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The microphone is configured to detect an audio from the urine flow. The temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature in a toilet bowl associated with the urine flow. The controller is configured to calculate a urine volume in the toilet bowl based on the temperature in the toilet bowl and calculate a flow rate based on the urine volume and at least one time interval from the audio from the urine flow.
