20080272057 | RECYCLING OF WASTE WATER - An upstream conduit extends from a container containing reusable waste water to a junction and a downstream conduit extends from the junction to a destination for the waste water. There is a third conduit through which fresh water, under pressure, flows to the junction. The flow in the third conduit is controlled by a valve which is normally open but shuts when a flow switch in the downstream conduit detects the demand for the waste water at the destination. At that time the demand is satisfied by waste water from the container. However, should there be insufficient waste water in the container to satisfy the demand, a level switch in the container deactivates or overrides the operation of flow switch thereby causing the valve in the third conduit to open When the valve opens, fresh water from the third conduit satisfies the demand. | 11-06-2008 |
