Abstract

A system for using waste water from a bath (1) to flush a toilet (10) via a cistern (8) comprises a tank level switch (7), a pump (5), a solenoid valve (3) and a flow switch (2). <IMAGE>

Description

BATH WATER SAVER THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A BATH WATER SAVER A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: FIGURE 1 shows the parts incorporated in the bath water saver- Referring to the drawing, dirty bath water 1, is pumped up to a header tank 8 which is used to flush toilet 10.
Bath water is used to flush the toilet 10, by means of a flow switch 2 and tank level switch 7, which are in series, these two switches control the pump 5, and solenoid valve 3.
When the plua in the bath is removed a flow of water downwards operates an electrical device 2, a flow switch which is in series with a tank level switch 7, when these two are both switched in the on position a solenoid valve 3 closes and allows water to flow past the normal waste outlet to a pump 5, which in turn is also switched on and starts to pump waste water into the header tank 8. This in turn should then hold enough water for at least ten flushes of the toilet 10 When the water flow from the bath 1, is no longer detected by flow switch 2, which is in a series circuit with the tank level switch 7, the solenoid valve 3 opens and pump 5 stops this allowing any water still in the pipe 6, to flow out down the normal water pipe 4.
If and when, a level of water has been pumped up to the header tank 8, when the tank is full, the tank level switch 7 in series with flow switch 2, opens the electrical circuit, and the solenoid valve 4 to open and pump 5 to stop.
In which case the header tank 8. is full and there is still water flowing out of the bath 1, the water is then left to flow out down the normal water pipe 4.
If at any time the bath 1, is not used for any length of time, and no waste water is pumped up into the header tank 8.
A cold water feed in conjunction with a level switch 9, will supply enough clean water to fill the header tank 8 to a level equivalent to one flush of the toilet 10, thus not wasting clean water unnecessarily.

Claims (2)

1. Bath water saves, comprising of a flow switch, solenoid valve pump and header tank.
2. Bath water saver comprising of a flow switch a solenoid valve, pump and header tank and associated pipes and electrical wiring is used to pump dirty bath water to the header tank and in turn, the water is ten used to flush the toilet.
Bath water saver as described here in with reterence to fig 1 and the accompanying description.
