Abstract

Le système (F) mis au point selon la présente invention comprend le réservoir (H) dans lequel l'eau provenant d'une source est stockée pour être utilisée dans le nettoyage ; l'équipement de décharge permettant la distribution de l'eau se trouvant dans le réservoir (H) dans la cuvette de toilette pour le nettoyage ; l'élément de commande, qui permet à l'équipement de décharge d'être commandé par un utilisateur ; l'élément de mesure, qui mesure le niveau d'eau disponible dans le réservoir (H) en fonction de la période prédéterminée ; et l'unité de commande connectée à l'élément de mesure et à l'élément de commande pour recevoir les données mesurées par l'élément de mesure, afin que le niveau d'eau minimum enregistré et le niveau maximum souhaité soient disponibles dans le réservoir (H) en vue d'un transfert dans la cuvette de toilette lorsque l'élément de commande est déclenché, pour détecter que l'action de déclenchement initiale a été effectuée sur l'élément de commande, que l'eau du réservoir (H) a été distribuée dans la cuvette de toilette en fonction des données reçues de l'élément de mesure, que le remplissage du réservoir (H) avec de l'eau est en cours et que l'élément de commande est à nouveau déclenché lorsque le remplissage en eau du réservoir (H) est en cours, pour comparer le niveau d'eau dans le réservoir (H) au niveau de remplissage minimum après détection que l'élément de commande a été déclenché à nouveau, pour empêcher la distribution d'eau dans la cuvette de toilette si le niveau d'eau dans le réservoir (H) est inférieur au niveau d'eau minimum et pour surveiller entretemps le niveau d'eau dans le réservoir (H) en fonction de ladite période et pour permettre la distribution de l'eau du réservoir (H) dans la cuvette de toilette une fois que le niveau d'eau du réservoir (H) a atteint le niveau minimum.
