ES2215447B1 - PROCEDURE FOR THE REDUCTION OF WATER CONSUMPTION IN THE DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS (DOMESTIC AND LABOR) AS WELL AS IN ALL SPACE AND HABITAT ENVIRONMENT (HOUSE, COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY). - Google Patents

Abstract

The procedure for reducing water consumption in different areas and in any spatial environment and habitat; it consists of the redistribution of the conduction and channeling of water, so that a large part of the water used can be recovered and reused. The system is based, fundamentally, on the incorporation of: - siphon canister lid of special characteristics that allows, consequently, a new channeling of the drainage pipes and optional reuse of a part of the spent water. - Modular storage system, in tanks, of reusable water in order to adapt to the needs of the user / s. - water lift system to be reused from the drain to the tanks. The preparation and use of this procedure of reduction, saving, recycling and reuse of water throughout the different areas (house, commerce and industry), obtained through the incorporation of the aforementioned water saving system (SAHAG) is claimed. .

Description

Water saving system (SAHAG).

Procedure for reducing consumption of water in different fields (domestic and labor) as well as in all space environment and habitat (home, commerce and industry).

Technical sector

The water saving system presented, to then it falls within the plumbing sectors, in terms of technique and environment, in what to its foundation it refers.

State of the art

At present, the internal system of water channeling of any building does not allow recovery, selection and reuse of spent water. How We know, the daily amounts we spend in the bathtub, sink, etc., they will stop directly to the drain and external sewers, missing without option to select them for possible reuse

With the system we propose, you can reuse much of the water spent. Thus domestic consumption daily, in a bathroom for example, it can be reduced substantial with the application of this new procedure of recanalization, drainage reconduction and water storage since much of the water used will have more than one use, if Apply this new procedure.

The new procedure is applicable both in existing works (modification of siphoning boat, making cistern water, etc.) as in new invoice constructions (in bathtubs, shower trays, sinks, etc. that incorporate this system) as well as in the conception of the dependencies (bathrooms, kitchens, toilets ...) where water is consumed which will allow simplicity of its application in most cases.

Also, thanks to the selection device, the system can be applied in those cases where there are reasons hygienic or other so as not to reuse the water of some uses (for example showers during menstruation). Case of wanting, for example, to recover the water spent during a shower Normally we can easily operate the device selection located on the lid of the siphon canister or in the shower to make this water go to the collection tanks or expansion to be reused.

In this way, they can be reused through a simple system with a new use for cleaning the toilet bowl or WC, delaying its arrival to the drain and sewage system; effectively doubling its profit and ecologically , saving on the consumption of this precious commodity.

2. Detailed Description

The present invention relates to a system able to collect used water generated with the daily use of sanitary appliances to enable reuse. Be characterized by having one or more collection tanks (1) and / or storage (2) of the waters to be reused; a device of discharge selection (8) that allows, optionally, to prevent water reuse used at a specific time, and a system discharge (6), controlled by level detectors (7) functionally associated, which carries said reusable water, through pipes (14), to storage tanks (2) or cooldown points (3 and 10).

The selection device (8) figures 1/2 and (8a / 8b) Figure 3, is characterized by that it is equipped in the water generating elements (siphonic boat, shower, bathtub, sink, etc.) and allows used water to be poured directly to the general drain or collection tanks, according to the user's choice. It consists basically of one (figures 1 and 2) or two elements (8a and 8b) that, in the recycling function, plug the outlet (8a) to the general drain (16) by opening the inlet (8b) to the collection tank (1) or to the forwarding circuit (figure 1)  towards the uses.

Water collection or expansion tanks (1) they are characterized because they have connection (9) with the elements used water generators (bathtub, shower, sinks ...) for Promote their collection. This function is also fulfilled by the boat modified siphonic (4) to allow the collection of water in existing facilities (figure 2). The system also has the possibility of direct forwarding, water to storage tanks and / or cistern (figure 1), which in this case fulfill the function of collection and storage deposit.

The water drive system to be reused allows regulate the different volumes of water collected and stored and be characterized by its ability to send the collected water, up to storage tanks (2) or points of use (10), by the suction pump-impeller (6) commissioning by level detectors (7) according to the filling situation of each deposit

Description of the drawings

In the attached drawings we can see examples different from application of the procedure in the facilities already Existing bathrooms:

Figure 1 shows a section of the siphon boat (4) with two circles [9a-9b] corresponding to the entrance to the sink and bath drains, for example, and the exit to the general drain (16). This output (16) incorporates a selector with key or tap function (8) so that, according to user criteria, the waters can be conducted well to the general drain through the outlet (8b), without being reused, or deviate through the outlet (8a) through the cannula (5) introduced in said drain (16), towards the wall type tanks (2) that we see in the drawing located on the cistern (3). The drawing shows us the scheme of how through a lifting pump aspirant-impeller (6) these waters will pass from the siphon canister (4) to the storage tanks (2) for subsequent use.

Figure 2 presents a variant of the system in which is added a collection or expansion tank (1) at the level of drain; This variant can also be applied, as in the case previous, in existing facilities with few transformations If this tank and pump is embedded or incorporated lift under the pavement, is the recommended application in the case of new invoice facilities. From left right we observe a section (A-A ') of the siphon boat (4), as in the previous example, and a collection deposit or expansion (1) with its different elements. The detail (A-A '), as in the previous example, shows the selection element (8), in this case a key outlet to the drain (16) or to the modular tanks of storage [2] (in this case wall type). Are represented also different positions to incorporate additives (11) and filters (12) that will allow, if necessary, recycling and water reuse from other elements of the room bathroom (sinks, sinks ...).

Preferred Embodiment

An embodiment is indicated in Figure 3 preferred in which the water generating elements used are a bathtub (A) and a shower tray (B). If in any of them, or in both, the outlet (8a) of the selector is open, the water is stored in the collection or expansion tank (1). One time the level sensor (7) is activated, the device starts up impeller (6) sending water through the pipeline (14) to storage tanks (2) equipped according to the needs of the Username. This is how the tank (3) is fed with water only recycled that serves to clean the toilet (I).
