b) Barely contaminated water from the shower/bathtub can be reused for flushing the toilet.

2.7 Description

a) For conventional wash basins/sinks, a second extender lever (5) is provided. When activated, the seal is pulled up to below the pipe (2) so that the water is directed through this pipe (2) into the collecting container. If the lever (5) is activated again, the seal is pushed downwards. The connecting joint between the lever (5) and the seal (3) allows the seal to fold down into a vertical position so that the water can flow unhindered into the sewer. The pipe (2) and collecting container are connected with a screw cap. The transparent "strip" on the container shows how full it is with water. When the container is full, it is unscrewed from the pipe (2) and emptied.

b) For shower/bathtub, a 2nd extender lever (shower only 1 lever, ie (5)) and a 2-way drain valve are also provided to allow the draining water to flow into pipe (1) into the sewer or pipe (2) into the collecting tank. A pump is to be provided for the pipe system of the drain (2) that pumps the water into the water collecting tank for flushing the toilet. It must be taken into account that - when the water collecting tank is full - draining water will automatically flow (overflow valve) through pipe (1) into the sewer.
