WATER DISPOSABLE SYSTEM USING UNWANTED WATER
20180106028 · 2018-04-19 ·

The present invention relates to water disposable system comprised of a connecting member having a first side of the connecting member which is connected to at least one unwanted water source which feeds unwanted water to the toilet tank via gravity and further comprises at least one valve to control the flow of unwanted water. The water tank of the toilet is connected to a second side of the connecting member to receive unwanted water and is further enabled to receive fresh water from a fresh water pipe. The water tank comprises a strainer and a standpipe to refill the toilet bowl and the tank simultaneously whilst preventing debris from clogging the small ports within the rim of the toilet bowl. A flushing lever and a second end of the lever is coupled with a rubber flap via a chain with a small float attached at the minimum water line. The purpose of the rubber flap is to allow sufficient water into the bowl in order to flush waste, and the small float attached to the chain is to maintain tension on the chain keeping the flap open when only a small amount of water is available and to allow efficient flushing. Fresh water is maintained at a minimum in the tank by the use of two floats in communication with respective levers to allow fresh water to enter the toilet tank up to a preset volume by water level within the tank. The first float is situated at a low height within the tank to maintain the minimum volume of water required to flush waste. The second float is situated at a height to maintain the maximum volume of water required to flush waste. The operation of the second float can be suspended, allowing empty volume in the toilet tank to be filled by unwanted or gray-water as it becomes available from the attached sources. Further, a button, wherein a first end of the button is enabled to be actuated by the user to flush the fresh water from the water tank and a second end of the button is coupled with a second float, wherein the second float does not allow the intake of the fresh water from the fresh water pipe until the button is actuated by the user.

20250019951 · 2025-01-16 ·

The present invention is directed towards a toilet water reclamation system that conserves water by using reclaimed water. The system comprises a first receptacle that nests into a second receptacle, which is secured to the toilet tank cover. Shower water, or other water, is collected in the first receptacle and allowed to sit until it is ready to be used. When the toilet is flushed, the first receptacle is lifted from the second receptacle and its contents are poured into the second receptacle. The second receptacle has an aperture to allow the passage of the water into the toilet tank, replacing the flushed water.
