ABSTRACT:
A water recycling system for re-use of gray water to flush toilet wastes is disclosed. Gray water from various sources, after filtration, is reserved in a water storage tank to be delivered to a water closet for flushing purposes. Disinfectant is periodically added to the gray water in the storage tank. Upon flushing, electrical signals are sent for replenishing of gray water from the storage tank to the water closet and supplying the toilet bowl with fresh water at a later time when the water closet is emptied and the wastes are flushed. A syphoning device is provided to further remove the gray water and wastes in the toilet bowl to the septic tank or sewage line. Filling of the water closet terminates the inflow of both gray and fresh water. At the completion of each flushing-filling cycle, the water closet is filled with gray water and the toilet bowl contains largely fresh water.
