ABSTRACT:
A system of conserving water using non-electrically operated, readily available plumbing equipment. The water to be saved with the system is water once heated which has cooled due to heat loss in a hot water line. This normally wasted cold water in the hot water line is often directed down the drain prior to dispensing of the hot water from a fixture. The system is adapted to divert the normally wasted cold water in the hot water line to a remotely positioned storage tank. The diverting process begins upon manual activation of a by-pass valve positioned slightly upstream of the hot water valve of a typical hot water dispensing fixture. The cold water to be saved is diverted by the manual by-pass valve through by-pass piping leading into the storage tank. The storage tank is also plumbed with piping to the water input piping of each toilet tank reservoir of the building. The reservoir tanks of any of the toilets connected to the by-pass system are filled with the water which was previously stored in the storage tank.
