Automatic toilet flush timer?
Question:Hi
Wasn't sure which section to put this in!
I need a device I can add onto a standard tank toilet so that it'll automatically flush once a day.
We've trained our cats to use the toilet, but they can't flush (no opposable thumbs.) I'd be happier leaving them alone for a couple of days if I knew the toilet would flush.
Apologies for the bizarre question. Most devices on the market seem to be "no touch" infrared affairs, which obviously isn't what I need.
Answers:
The only type I have seen are for commercial type toilets. An idea might be to check out a solnoid valve and a timer such as used on lawn sprinkler systems. You would need to install a separate water line that dumped the water into the overflow tube. (no way to raise the flapper) This could be done with flex hose so it could be moved when you are home. (just need to remember to shut off the water supply at that time.) The water entering the overflow tube would go to the bowl and through the bowls trap. Sounds crazy but thats all I can come up with.
hahaha
If you trained the cats to go in the toilet, well now just tie a string to the flushing handle and train them to pull the handle down when their thru with going. lmao, Good luck
