Abstract

A system for controlling the rate of a pump (2) on a water drainage outlet (3) of a water dispensing unit. The system comprises means for measuring the water inlet flow rate of an inlet water supply to the water dispensing unit and means for controlling the rate of the pump (2) on the water drainage outlet (3) based on the measured water inlet flow rate.
