  • Publication number: 20120137421
    Abstract: A select a flush water saver system is provided for use in the modern 1.6 gallon toilets as well as the old fashioned non-water saver toilets. The system is in kit form and easily installed with simple tools. The conventional toilet handle is replaced with two pull-cord operating handles, one for selecting a short flush to clear only liquid from the toilet or the other for selecting a full flush to clear solids from the toilet. A main flapper valve has a dual bleeder valve installed thereon. One operating handle acts upon the dual bleeder valve to cause a small amount of water to evacuate the water closet. The other operating handle acts upon the dual bleeder valve to provide the full flush. The pull-cord operating handles are as easily accessible as the original push handle and each has a different configuration in order to identify its function.

  • Patent number: 6571401
    Abstract: A flush and tap toilet water saver system is provided for use in the modem 1.6 gallon toilets that can utilize a flapper valve, a water supply valve which is controlled by a float ball, and a conventional operating handle. A main flapper valve has a bleeder valve installed thereon. The operating handle is rotated normally to open the main flapper valve and simultaneously open the bleeder valve thereby venting air from the main flapper valve and causing it to lose buoyancy and close sooner thus allowing only an abbreviated flush cycle in the toilet tank. When the operating handle is first pushed and then quickly tapped, the tap doses the bleeder valve and cuts off the venting air which causes the flapper valve to maintain full buoyancy and only close when the valve pusher mechanism rotates a valve pusher to force the flapper valve closed just when 1.6 gallons of water is released.
