Abstract

A grey water recycling assembly for recycling grey water from a sink for filling a tank on a toilet includes a hose that is fluidly coupled to a drain of a sink for capturing grey water from the sink. The hose is fluidly coupled to a tank of a toilet. Additionally, the hose is oriented to angle downwardly between the drain and the tank to gravity feed the grey water into the tank. In this way the hose directs the grey water into the tank of the toilet for filling the tank of the toilet with recycled water. The hose is comprised of a flexible material thereby facilitating the hose to be routed in a preferred route between the drain of the sink and the tank of the toilet.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A grey water recycling assembly being configured to fill a toilet tank with grey water from a sink, said assembly comprising:
 a hose being fluidly coupled to a drain of a sink, said hose capturing grey water from the sink, said hose being fluidly coupled to a tank of a toilet, said hose being oriented to angle downwardly between the drain and the tank wherein said hose is configured to gravity feed the grey water into the tank, said hose directing the grey water into the tank of the toilet wherein said hose is configured to fill the tank of the toilet with recycled water, said hose being comprised of a flexible material thereby facilitating said hose to be routed in a preferred route between the drain of the sink and the tank of the toilet.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said hose has a first end and a second end, said first end being fluidly coupled to an outlet of a trap of the drain, said second end being fluidly coupled to an outer wall of the tank. 
     
     
         3 . A grey water recycling assembly being configured to fill a toilet tank with grey water from a sink, said assembly comprising:
 a hose being fluidly coupled to a drain of a sink, said hose capturing grey water from the sink, said hose being fluidly coupled to a tank of a toilet, said hose being oriented to angle downwardly between the drain and the tank wherein said hose is configured to gravity feed the grey water into the tank, said hose directing the grey water into the tank of the toilet wherein said hose is configured to fill the tank of the toilet with recycled water, said hose being comprised of a flexible material thereby facilitating said hose to be routed in a preferred route between the drain of the sink and the tank of the toilet, said hose having a first end and a second end, said first end being fluidly coupled to an outlet of a trap of the drain, said second end being fluidly coupled to an outer wall of the tank.   
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , further comprising a motion sensor being coupled to the sink wherein said motion sensor is configured to sense a user approaching the sink, said motion sensor turning the sink on when said motion sensor senses motion. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , further comprising a flow sensor being fluidly coupled to an output of the sink wherein said flow sensor is configured to sense the rate and volume of the flow of water from the output, said flow sensor turning the sink off when said flow sensor senses a predetermined volume of water has flowed from the output of the sink.
