Water Reclamation Assembly

Abstract

A water reclamation assembly includes a bathtub that has a drain for draining water from the bathtub. A toilet is included and the toilet is in fluid communication with a sewer system. A water reclamation unit is fluidly coupled between the drain of the bathtub and the sewer system. The water reclamation unit includes a reservoir which has a pre-determined fluid capacity for storing a pre-determined volume of water. The reservoir is in fluid communication with the fluid tank of the toilet such that the fluid tank of the toilet can be filled with water stored in the reservoir. The water reclamation unit is in fluid communication with the sewer system. Furthermore, the water reclamation unit is actuated into a draining condition when the reservoir is filled to the pre-determined capacity to drain the water into the sewer system.
