Abstract
A flush control facility for a siphon-discharge W.C. cistern comprises a siphon-breaker valve optionally mounted in a spare flush handle mounting aperture in the front wall of a W.C. cistern. A vent pipe extends between the valve and the siphon. The valve is operable to vent air through the pipe into the siphon and thereby break the siphonic action.
Description
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A VACUUM TUBE TO ADJUST TOILET WATER
SUPPLY
VACUUM TUBE TOILET WATER ADJUSTER
THE VACUUM TUBE TOILET WATER ADJUSTER IS MADE IN ANY TYPE OF
FLEXIBLE OR RIGID PLASTIC OR METAL TUBING FIG 1 THE WATER CISTERN TOP IS REMOVED AND A HOLE IS MADE ThROUGH THE TOP OF THE SYPHON FIG 2 A SECOND HOLE IS MADE THROUGH THE STOPPER IN FRONT OF THE THE CISTERN FIG 3
ONE END OF THE VACUUM TUBE IS INSERTED THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE
CISTERN FRONT FIG 4 THE OTHER END IS INSERTED THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE SYPHON, FIG 2 A MARK IS ON THIS TUBE TO SHOW YOU HOW FAR TO
PUSH IT INTO THE SYPHON -BY PULLING UP OR PUSHING DOWN YOU CAN
REGULATE THE AMOUNT OF WATER TO 4 Litres FLUSHES, THAT IS PLENTY OF WATER TO CLEAR URINE AND SMALL FLUSHES, AND IS ACIIVATED BY PRESSING DOWN THE HANDLE AS NORMAL.
FOR LARGE SOLIDS -PRESS THE HANDLE THEN PLACE THE FINGER OR THUMB
OVER THE GREEN VACUUM TUBE END FIG 5, DOING THAT ALLOWS THE FULL 6 Litre FLUSH, REMOViNG YOUR THUMB STOPS THE WATER ANYTIME.
WHEN THE" VACUUM TUBE" IS iiflED THE TOILET CISTERN WORKS THE SAME AS THE NEW TYPE DUAL FLUSH CISTERNS, SO CONFORMiNG TO THE NEW WATER REGULATIONS OF" NO TOILET WATER CISTERN MUST GWE A MAXIMUM SINGLE FLUSH EXCEEDING 6 Litres.
NOW BEING A DUEL FLUSHING 4 or 6 Litre CISTERN, IT ALISO CUTS ThE AMOUNT OF WATER USED BY 50%, AND THE AMOUNT OF SEWERAGE TREATED. z

- THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A VACUUM TUBE TOILET WATER & SEWERAGE SAVERVACUUM TUBE TOILET WATER ADJUSTERMOST PEOPLE WASTE HALF THE WATER NEADED TO FLUSH THERETOILET USING ON AVERAGE 9 LITRES PER FLUSH INCLUDING JUST URINE AND LIGHT SOLIDS.THE PLANE END OF THE VACUUM TUBE IS PUSHED DOWN THEHOLE MADE IN THE TOP OF THE SYPHON FIG 2 THE PURPOSEOF THIS IS WHEN THE WATER IN THE CISTERN GETS BELOW THEEND OF THE VACUUM TUBE iT BREAKES THE VACUUM AND STOPS THE WATER FROM FLUSHING, ADJUSTING THE VACUUM TUBE WILL ALLOW ONLY 4 Litres OF WATER TO FLUSH, INSTEAD OF 9 Litres AS BEFORE, THIS WORKS BY PULLING DOWN THE LEAVER, 4 Litres ISSUFFICIENT FOR URINE AND SMALL SOLIDSFOR HEAVY SOLIDS, PULL THE LEVER AND PLACE YOUR THUMB OVER THE GREEN TUBE IN FRONT OF THE CISTERN, WHEN EMPTY THAT FLUSH WOULD HAVE BEEN 6 Litres, IF YOU WANT TO STOP THE WATER FROM FLUSHING BEFORE EMPTYING, REMOVE THUMB FROM HOLE. DOING THIS BREAKS THE VACUUM AND STOPS THE WATER FROM FLUSHING.
