An electronically controlled electro-mechanical device designed to limit a
finite amount of water per flush to a tank reservoir of the common
household toilet, or tank-less toilet or urinal, providing positive
shutoff of water flow and anti-siphon backflow prevention. The toilet is
flushed, the flush lever activates an attached tilt switch, the tilt
switch actuates the countdown timer by means of electrical linkage, the
countdown timer in turn activates the solenoid valve by means of
electrical connection. The water enters the solenoid valve, passing
through the valve and on to the float valve mounted to the toilet tank
for fill up. The Countdown timer counts down from the full minutes and
seconds set to 00:00 and shuts off the solenoid valve and ultimately the
flow of water. The Countdown timer then resets itself to the time set in
memory for the next flush operation. A float eliminator may be affixed to
the toilet tank replacing the float valve, then connected to the solenoid
valve. For the purpose of adjusting the volume of water per flush the
Countdown timer can be programmed from 00:00 minutes and seconds to 99
minutes and 55 seconds. The average toilet will need approximately 2
minutes. It is suggested that the user flush and time his toilet prior to
installation of the electro-mechanical solenoid valve unit and add five
seconds to assure the proper volume of water per flush.
