ABSTRACT:
A refilling preventing system for a toilet tank, to prevent refilling of the tank in case of a leak, comprising: a receptacle in the tank in which the buoyant float of the fill valve is placed; a water filling conduit to fill the receptacle after a flush discharge; a plug closing the overflow tube, to cause a momentary vacuum at a flush conduit of the toilet bowl connected to the discharge opening of the toilet tank after a flush discharge and when the stopper is at a closing position; and a siphon conduit, operable by a lever mechanism, which is connected to the discharge opening and to said receptacle, that allows to flush the receptacle, after a flush discharge, by a siphon effect created by the vacuum at the flush conduit of the bowl. In case of a leak emptying the tank, the receptacle will remain filled and the buoyant float will be at its closing position impeding the fill valve to refill of the tank.
