ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reducing water consumption in a toilet or other apparatus for human body waste disposal. Water contained in a primary water tank (10) and a secondary water tank (15) is selectively discharged into waste container (5) by means of primary tank control arm (30) and secondary tank control arm (25). Water is discharged from primary water tank (10) through primary valve (110) and from secondary water tank (15) through secondary valve (120). The discharge of water from each tank is selectively controlled by the user depending upon the type of waste to be disposed. For disposal of liquid waste only, water is discharged from primary water tank (10). For disposal of solid waste, water is discharged from primary water tank (10) and secondary water tank (15) at the same time. The apparatus and method can be used to retrofit a toilet or other apparatus for human body waste disposal. Secondary water tank (15) may be a container installed internally to primary water tank (10) or created by means of a partition (150).
