Abstract: Various methods and apparatus are described for pool water replenishment to desired levels. One embodiment (FIG. 1) depicts a skimmer basket chamber (22) with a skimmer basket (14) inside, designed with a latitudinal mounting plate (26/28) for supporting a fluid controller such as a toilet fill valve (10). The replenishment of pool water to desired levels is accomplished by making adjustments to the fluid controller, which opens when water levels become sufficiently low allowing water to be added from a fluid supply conduit (18) that is routed through a lateral water overflow tube (17) and attached to a reliable water supply source. All embodiments have distinct advantages over prior art that are achieved by utilizing simple and efficient methods and apparatus, designed to provide convenient, safe, reliable, low cost and inconspicuous installation and operation. Many ramifications are described for the mounting of fluid controllers and the routing of water supply conduit (18).

Abstract: One of several embodiments (FIG. 1) is shown consisting of a scale apparatus, such as a height gauge (80), utilized together with toilet manufacturer's and engineering data, which is based on toilet design and product specifications, test results and the like, so to create water conservation opportunities. Reference data is constructed to assist the consumer in properly setting up the tank water level (70) in toilets, commodes, water closets and other such devices, by way of utilizing instructions and a height gauge (80) or the like. The embodiment sufficiently prevents the over-filling of water within the toilet tank (50), prevents the subsequent wasting of excess water into the sewer, and promotes saving on the cost of water due to the lack of water height setup awareness in toilets.

Abstract: Various methods and apparatus are described and shown (FIG. 1) utilizing several positions within the toilet fill valve (10) and the water supply conduit (180) for minimizing water from being wasted in toilets. Several embodiments (FIG. 1-4) are shown consisting of flow restrictors being tube restrictors (100a-d), base insert restrictors (130a-f) and connector restrictors (150a-b) that sufficiently slow the refilling of water within the toilet tank (70), thereby allowing the flapper valve (60) to close sooner rather than later. This action reduces the amount of water from being discharged into the sewer due to both the early and excessively fast refilling of water, and the unneeded water turbulence created by the toilet fill valve (10), thereby promoting water conservation and cost savings for the consumer.

Abstract: Various methods and apparatus are described utilizing irrigation drippers (30) for minimizing water from being wasted in toilets. One of several embodiments (FIG. 1) is shown with a toilet tank (70) and an irrigation dripper (30) bisecting a toilet bowl fill tube (20). Contemplating a pressure-compensating dripper (30) provides a sufficiently accurate and engineered means for controlling and metering water economically. Dripper flow-rates are selected to deliver relatively consistent amounts of water under varying pressure conditions, in order to sufficiently minimize: the over-filling of water into the toilet bowl (80), the water being wasted into the sewer (90), and the wasting of consumer dollars.
