Alternatively, when the air pressure in the working tank 22 is the same as the air pressure in the makeup tank 26, the makeup tank 26 supplies makeup water to the working tank 22.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the refill water tank 26 has a ball float 261 for controlling the connection or disconnection between the refill water tank 26 and the water source. It will be appreciated that when the level of the water in the refill tank 26 is below a predetermined level, the float valve 261 may control the water source to communicate with the refill tank 26, thereby replenishing the refill tank 26 with water; when the liquid level in the water replenishing tank 26 reaches a preset height, the ball float 261 controls the water source to be disconnected from the water replenishing tank 26.
