ABSTRACT:
A system for preventing a toilet bowl from overflowing is disclosed. The system includes a sensor mounted to the toilet bowl at a location above a normal water level for the toilet bowl. The sensor is operative to sense the water level in the toilet bowl, and generates a warning signal if the level is above the normal level. The system further includes a valve connected to the water conduit feeding the toilet bowl, the valve being displaceable to respective open and closed positions. A drive assembly is connected to the valve to drive the valve to the open and closed positions. The system still further includes a processor electrically coupled with the sensor and the drive assembly to enable the drive assembly upon receiving the warning signal from the sensor.
