ABSTRACT:
A water saving apparatus for water conservation which is achieved by minimizing the amount of water required to flush a toilet effectively. A specially configured toilet bowl is combined with a small toilet tank which houses two independent flushing systems. They can be operated singularly, simultaneously or in sequence selectively, depending upon the degree and type of flushing deemed most appropriate by an operator for the occasion. The functions of expelling waste matter present in the toilet bowl and of washing the internal surface of the toilet bowl are separated and each function is performed by the flushing system deemed most effective to accomplish the task, and each task is completed with a minimum amount of water being required for this specific task. The operator alone selects which flushing mode is to be used and retains control of the proper flushing sequence. The operator then is the sole judge as to the extent of water saving that is justified. Protection is built in to prevent unnecessary wasteful flushing cycles, often initiated by small children in a playful manner.
