90 turning now to fig6 there is shown a under counter mounted food preparation sink 110 according to a second example embodiment of the invention this is similar to the first embodiment except for using conventional under counter mounting hardware regardless of whether the installation follows the principles of fig1 or fig6 it should be appreciated that no further faucet or hand spray is required to be mounted on the counter top in the preferred embodiments this saves considerable space having described the primary features of the food preparation sink 10 its preferred operation can be explained as follows a user pushes on switch 93 this signals the electronic control module 94 to begin delivery of water from water line 91 through fitting 86 and into the inlet port 80 of the valve system 70 this can also signal the garbage disposal 90 to begin operation to dispose of the waste either immediately or with a slight time delay looking next at fig5 the water flows in direction i into the inlet port 80 and into the manifold 74 of the valve system 70 depending on the position of the valve member 82 the water takes different flow paths from the manifold 74 the diverter plate of the valve member 82 is movable back and forth in a first direction v1 and a second direction v2 to direct the water flow through the valve system 70 between a first path p 1 and a second path p 2 when the valve member 82 is in a first position at the end of movement in first direction v1 as shown in fig5 water generally flows along the second path p 2 between the inlet port 80 and the second port.
