Description

Water recycling procedure.

Water recycling procedure, characterized by a container that, fixed on the wall next to the shower, allows to store the water that is wasted at the time before showering, until the start of the water outlet hot.

Subsequently the water can be used, Manually unloading the container using a valve retention incorporated in its lower part.

The invention presented provides the main advantage of obtaining significant water savings without the need to Perform any installation.

Various systems are currently known for the use of water, some very sophisticated that make up a fully integrated housing facility, there is also a great diversity of inventions focused on exploitation of water for later use in toilets, kitchens, bathrooms, irrigation, etc., but all of them, even being very useful, have the drawback that for its implementation must be done expensive facilities.

To solve the problem in the Currently, a procedure for water recycling has been devised, object of the present invention, which is simply a water storage container fixed on the wall, next to the shower or next to any other hot water source, allowing storage and subsequent reuse.

The container may be shaped rectangular and for a better use of space and manufactured in high strength plastic materials of different colors.

Its lower part is equipped with inclinations symmetrical V-shaped sides, so that when drained, the water Fall with greater speed and strength.

The container has a variable capacity, depending on where it can be installed and is included by tabs, a support, a non-return valve, cover and support bracket.

The tabs protrude in their part posterior-upper part of the structure of the same, they serve for its fixation to the wall by screws

The support is located on one of its sides, it is used to support or support the shower handle where it is going to Take the water to store avoiding waste. The support must have the necessary inclination for the water to fall inside of the container. It can be fixed or adjustable for greater precision.

The non-return valve serves to extract the stored water. It is located at the bottom of the tank and is addressable to be able to direct the water jet in the desired direction. This mechanism could allow the cleaning of different parts of the body independently, that is, you can wash your feet or head without opening the shower faucet, you could even bathe a small child using the least amount of water possible, simply by pouring the amount of hot water necessary to regulate the temperature of the stored water
gives.

The lid is located at the top of the container and its function is to prevent dirt from falling inside thereof, dust, lint, hair, or even insects, so that stored water is always clean and can be used hygienic

The fixing bracket consists of an accessory designed to hold the container once screwed to the wall, thus offering a better weight distribution. Is understood by a rectangular base equipped with two holes for fixing to the wall by screws. The rectangular base has two lateral arms, arranged with a slight inclination finishing off its free ends with a folding, so that the V walls of the bowl fit easily.

The procedure provides for storing the water that is wasted in the moment before the shower, that is, since it Open the tap until the water starts to get hot. Through the relevant checks have been shown to be wasted more than 3.5 liters of water in this phase of the shower with what yes we average three people per family, they are more than 10 liters those that are thrown down the drain, without obtaining any exploitation.

Subsequently allows water reuse stored for different functions in household chores: cleaning floors, tiles, sanitary ware, to scrub the dishes, water the plants, or even to throw it in the toilet thus avoiding the use of the cistern.

These are tasks that are done almost daily, so yes to the more than 10 liters that are wasted in the shower we add those that would have to be spent separately to perform these tasks, make an approximate total of more than 20 liters per day.

If a capacity vessel is used average, about 15 liters, would mean that we would be saving more than twice as many liters as we would spend without the container, with what balance we would be saving every two months on the bill almost 900 liters and an annual total of 5110 liters with the consequent economic savings.

The application of the procedure presented It can be considered as an investment, since it is not necessary implement any type of installation, which means a small expense for the purchase of the container.

With the use of the procedure for water recycling, we would be contributing to conserve reserves natural water that we supply. If previously we have encrypted a saving of more than 5000 liters per home and year, we can imagine the amount of millions of liters that could be saved every year, only with a portion of the population using the procedure, thus helping to conserve swamp reserves for longer, avoiding the annoying cuts in the supply and providing the necessary water to irrigation.

The importance of using this procedure, Apart from all this, we would be becoming aware of the importance of water and we would be learning to use it in a way responsible, without wasting it, spending only what is necessary, since the Water is becoming increasingly scarce.

This procedure for water recycling It consists of the following phases: filling and reuse.

Filling phase : the flexible section of the shower or handle is placed in the support of the container, filling the container until the beginning of the hot water, the lid is closed, and the shower can be carried out normally.

Reuse : once the container is full we can use the water for the different tasks that are performed daily in the home, such as cleaning in general, irrigation, etc.

For which we will allocate a suitable container to be able to approach the recycling container and download it by manipulating the non-return valve.

This procedure for water recycling that is presented provides multiple advantages over the available systems currently being the most important thing that through a container subject on the wall, allows water storage for later use, without the need for any type of installation.

An important advantage is the savings in liters of water that involves its use, reusing it for different functions in household chores, so yes to more than 10 liters that are wasted in the shower we add the ones that should be spend separately to perform these tasks, make a total of more than 20 liters daily.

Another important advantage is that if it were used a medium capacity container, around 15 liters, it would mean that we would be saving more than double the liters of those that we would spend without the container, with which taking stock we would be saving every two months on the bill almost 900 liters and an annual total of 5110 liters with the consequent savings economic.

Another of the most important advantages are the improvements in hygiene, since citrus arrives at the hotel or restaurant general user in the form of hermetically sealed bags that You can open and take out the citrus slice with tweezers, without being necessary at any time the contact with the hands.

And finally, we can add as an advantage that, with the use of the procedure, we would be contributing to conserve the natural reserves of water that we supply, thus helping to conserve swamp reserves for more time, avoiding the annoying cuts in the supply and providing the necessary water to irrigation.
