This study investigated the water saving technology for the toilet stool system in a water closet. Since in 21st century water would be the prospected factor to measure the wealth of a country instead of the oil, water saving technologies in the toilet stool in a closet system is getting more important than the cleaning stool and the reducing noise performances. According to the statistics in Korea the percentage of using water in toilet is about 27% to the total amount of water used. Therefore, this study theoretically approached the possible amount of water saving and suggested the new variable position straight trap device in the toilet stool system.

In this paper, a flushing system with automatic opening and closing function of the toilet cover was studied. It works by an infrared sensor attached to the cover is detected or not. When the infrared sensor of the open function detects it, the servomotor is driven on the toilet cover to raise the cover, and when the infrared sensor with the close function detects the infrared sensor, the cover is set to be lowered. A tilt sensor is attached to the inside of the cover to operate when the cover goes down, and when this is activated, the servomotor connected to the toilet lever opens the stopper of the supply port and sends water down. In addition, we minimized the inconveniences for the next user when they use the toilet by using the non-contact water level sensor and LED function to notice the water is clogged during the flushing process. Also, we implemented UV-LED function to prevent bacterial growth while the toilet is closed.
