Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to an apparatus to be used for flushing a toilet bowl. The invention simplifies current apparatuses and allows stepless adjustment of the flush water amount, for instance by means of the opening period of an electrically controlled inlet valve (12), without opening the cover of the water tank (1). The supply water pressure, the float member (2) and the force of gravity are utilised to control the movement of the piston member (4) in the chamber (5) communicating with the mains, this movement, in turn, controlling the movement of the outlet valve (15), thus regulating the flush water amount. The level of the water surface (3) in the water tank (1) is monitored by means of any device or method. An electric sensor (11), for instance, can be used for this purpose. <IMAGE>
