Abstract

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.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A water disposable system comprising:
 a. a connecting member, wherein a first side of the connecting member is connected to at least one unwanted water source and comprises at least one valve to control the flow of an unwanted water;   b. a toilet water tank, 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, wherein the water tank comprises:   i. a strainer in a stand pipe to filter debris from the unwanted water, wherein the strained water is enabled to flow through the stand pipe to a flush pipe;   ii. a two float system, wherein a first float is set at a minimum tank volume water line to flush waste to enable fresh water to flow into the tank via a lever in communication with the first float, and a second float set at maximum tank volume water line to flush waste in communication with a lever to allow fresh water to flow into the tank up to the top position of the second float at the minimum tank volume water line to flush solid waste;   iii. 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; and   iv. a window or gauge, wherein a transparent material is positioned on the front wall of the tank enabling the user to determine the volume of water in the toilet tank.   
     
     
         2 . The water disposable system of  claim 1 , wherein the connecting member is a pipe or a hose. 
     
     
         3 . The water disposable system of  claim 1 , wherein the unwanted water source is at least one of sink, shower, tube, washing machine, initial cold water of the hot water line or any other grey water. 
     
     
         4 . The water disposable system of  claim 1 , wherein the water tank is a toilet tank. 
     
     
         5 . The water disposable system of  claim 1 , wherein the valve is either a manual valve or a thermally activated valve. 
     
     
         6 . The water disposable system of  claim 1 , wherein the excess water of the water tank is discharged into sewerage through a second pipe. 
     
     
         7 . A toilet water tank, 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, wherein the water tank comprises:
 a. a strainer in a stand pipe to filter debris from the unwanted water, wherein the filtered water is enabled to flow through the stand pipe to a flush pipe;   b. a two float system, wherein a first float is set at a minimum tank volume water line to liquid waste to enable fresh water to flow into the tank via a lever in communication with the first float, and a second float set at maximum tank volume water line to flush waste in communication with a lever to allow fresh water to flow into the tank up to the top position of the second float at the minimum tank volume water line to flush solid waste;   c. 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; and   d. a window or gauge, wherein a transparent material is positioned on the front wall of the tank enabling the user to determine the volume of water in the toilet tank.   
     
     
         8 . The water disposable system of  claim 7 , wherein the unwanted water source is at least one of sink, shower, tube, washing machine, initial cold water of the hot water line or any other grey water. 
     
     
         9 . The water disposable system of  claim 7 , wherein the excess water of the water tank is discharged into sewerage through a second pipe.
