Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0218718A1] There is provided a device for regulating water depth in a domestic water receptacle wherein following fitment in, or over, the outflow rebate in such a receptacle, the device has: a closed configuration in which water is prevented by the device from leaving the receptacle; and a temporarily open configuration in which water may freely flow through the device and hence out of the receptacle; and wherein the device is arranged such that the presence of water above the device acts to force the device into the temporarily open configuration; and further wherein a magnetic force acts against the force of the water to hold the device in the closed configuration until a first predetermined depth of water is present above the device, at which point the device assumes the temporarily closed configuration; and further wherein the magnetic force also acts to return the device into the closed configuration whenever there is less than a second predetermined depth of water present above the device.
