Abstract:
1. A toilet water flow adjustment system for usage within a toilet, the toilet having a handle arm connected to a flush connector, which when the handle arm is depressed a main flapper valve opens to flush the toilet, the system comprising: a divider positionable within a holding tank, defined by the toilet, in a substantially vertical orientation, the divider having a height lower than a full water level in the holding tank and the divider separating the holding tank into a main portion and a reserve portion, wherein the main portion contains the main flapper valve; the divider defined as including a gate panel positioned against at least one side panel, the side panel including an aperture and the gate panel further being vertically movable with respect to the at least one side panel for providing selective fluid connection between the main portion and the reserve portion; a first linkage connecting the gate panel to the flush connector such that when the handle arm is depressed, the gate panel moves towards an upward position; a lever having a weighted object freely moveably secured thereto, the lever having one end connected to the gate panel and having another end connected to a float, the lever is further pivotally connected about a region intermediate to the two ends to the at least one side panel, such that when the gate panel moves towards an upward position the float moves towards a downward position, the float being positioned within the reserve portion, or above the divider, or within the main portion and maintains a floating position on the full water level above the height of the divider; wherein when the handle arm is initially depressed the gate panel being initially urged towards an upward position returns to a downward position sealing the aperture in the divider as the float maintains its floating position on top of the full water level and as the weighted object substantially remains at the end connected to the gate panel such that the water in the main portion is utilized to flush the toilet reserving water in the reserve portion which also drops the water level in the holding tank to the height of the divider, and when the handle arm is depressed a second time in the same manner as the initial depression the gate panel is moved towards an upward position dropping the float to a position about the height of the divider and the weighted object moves towards the end of the lever connected to the float maintaining the gate panel in an upward position opening the aperture in the side panel such that the water in the reserve portion and the main portion is utilized to flush the toilet.
