Claims

1. A gravity-fed water supply tank for sanitary fixtures, including but not limited to bidets, toilets, urinals, and washbasins, wherein the tank is elevated to regulate water pressure for optimal performance in multiple fixture types, comprising:a) an outlet in the form of an adaptable opening configured to accommodate various plumbing fittings, including but not limited to BSP connections, for bidets, overflow tubes, bottom entry fill valves, and side entry fill valves, ensuring flexibility in design and compatibility with different plumbing standards; b) internal components configured to manage water flow in compliance with internationally recognized water safety and sanitation regulations, including but not limited to an airgap fill valve, a float mechanism, an overflow tube, and an outlet; c) an adaptable installation system enabling the tank to be mounted as an add-on to an existing system or integrated within a wall in both new-built and existing structures; d) a lid configured to maintain hygiene, reduce contamination risks, and allow access for maintenance; e) an insulated tank structure incorporating thermally controlled materials or coatings to maintain water temperature, reduce heat loss, and minimize condensation-related inefficiencies while promoting sustainability; and f) an integrated overflow prevention system designed to minimize water wastage and facilitate compliance with international plumbing regulations, including but not limited to WRAS (UK), AS / NZS3500 (Australia &New Zealand), CSA B125 (Canada), and UPC (United States); g) a modular mounting system adaptable for both retrofit and new installations, allowing secure integration in various structures while maintaining accessibility for servicing and optimizing water efficiency.

2. The water supply tank of claim 1, wherein the storage tank includes structural reinforcements to support installation in various orientations, optimizing material use for durability and extended product lifespan.

3. The water supply tank of claim 1, wherein the lid is constructed with a secure locking or sealing mechanism to minimize contamination, prevent external pollutants, and improve water safety.

4. The water supply tank of claim 1, wherein the multi-compatible outlet includes standardized connections to support various fixture types without requiring modifications, reducing material waste and installation complexity.

5. The water supply tank of claim 1, wherein the tank incorporates an air gap separation mechanism designed to prevent contamination and ensure compliance with internationally recognized water safety regulations, wherein the separation mechanism optimizes water efficiency through controlled flow management.a) an outlet in the form of an adaptable opening configured to accommodate BSP connections or other standard plumbing fittings for various fixtures, including bidets, overflow tubes, bottom entry fill valves, and side entry fill valves, ensuring flexibility in design and compatibility with different plumbing configurations; b) internal components configured to manage water flow in compliance with internationally recognized water safety and sanitation regulations, including but not limited to an airgap fill valve, a float mechanism, an overflow tube, and an outlet; c) an adaptable installation system enabling the tank to be mounted as an add-on to an existing system or integrated within a wall in both new-built and existing structures; d) a lid configured to maintain hygiene, reduce contamination risks, andallow access for maintenance; e) an insulated tank structure incorporating thermally controlled materials or coatings to maintain water temperature, reduce heat loss, and minimize condensation-related inefficiencies while promoting sustainability; and f) an integrated overflow prevention system designed to minimize water wastage and facilitate compliance with international plumbing regulations, including but not limited to WRAS (UK), AS / NZS 3500 (Australia &New Zealand), CSA B125 (Canada), and UPC (United States); g) a modular mounting system adaptable for both retrofit and new installations, allowing secure integration in various structures while maintaining accessibility for servicing and optimizing water efficiency.
