TOILET WATER LEAK AND FLOOD PREVENTION
Proactive methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for preventing any water leak or flooding of a toilet. These methods and systems can replace or be added to the water system of existing toilets, especially the North American toilets, which use water tanks. In various embodiments the water is turned OFF and prevented to enter the toilet tank before the flush handle is activated and/or before a user is sensed. In some embodiments each flushing of the toilet permits the toilet tank to only fill once. If a leak causes the tank to empty, water is not permitted to fill the leaking tank until the next time the flush handle is activated. In some other embodiments each flushing of the toilet and/or sensing of a user permits the toilet tank to fill a predetermined number of times.

Clean toilet and accessories
A toilet that includes a tank configured to hold water from a water supply; a reservoir fluidly connected to the tank and configured to hold a cleaning compound comprising a chemical compound and water from the water supply; and an actuator configured to control a flush cycle of the toilet upon a first activation, the actuator including at least one nozzle fluidly connected to the reservoir and configured to discharge an amount of the cleaning compound external to the tank upon at least one of the first activation or a second activation.

ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTRIBUTOR AND TOILET
The present disclosure discloses a method for controlling opening and closing of at least one water outlet of an electromagnetic distributor, the method comprising: detecting, by at least one sensor, a current position, relative to the at least one water outlet, of at least one solenoid valve core; determining, by a controller, a current state of the at least water outlet according to the detected current position of the at least one solenoid valve core; generating, by an electromagnetic coil, a magnetic field force on the at least one solenoid valve core; adjusting, by the controller, a direction and an amount of the magnetic field force on the at least one solenoid valve core according to the determined current state of the at least one water outlet; and controlling, by the controller, a movement, relative to the at least one water outlet, of the at least one solenoid valve core.

BOTTOM MOUNT FILL VALVE
A system for mounting a fill valve in a toilet with a pivotable reservoir is disclosed. The pivotable reservoir is disposed inside the toilet tank. A fill valve is secured in the tank and designed to deliver water to the pivotable reservoir from an external water supply, wherein the fill valve is secured by a valve support mechanism to a lower portion of the tank. The fill valve support mechanism comprises a fluid line support mechanism and a fluid line. The fluid line support mechanism routes the fluid line away from and around the space through which the pivotable reservoir moves when actuated. A plurality of fasteners connect the fluid line to the fluid line support mechanism and the fill valve mechanism to the toilet tank and water supply.
