Design and construction of an automated self-bathroom.

Abstract

In today’s life, most people fail to flush the toilet or turn off tap and shower system after using it. It creates bad odour and unpleasant environment especially in public restrooms, which affects the health of the people using it and leads to the wastage of water, causing various problems to the environment. Water is an important resource, which we owe the responsibility to pass to the future generations. The wastage of excess water as well as the unpleasant conditions in the surrounding is the threat to the environment. To overcome these problems, it is proposed to design an automatic self-powered bathroom system by using a micro controller and automatic valves integrated with both water and energy saving techniques which flushes the toilet system, opens and closes bathroom faucets automatically during and after usage. Only limited amount of water is used to flush after every usage for toilets and water flows from faucets only when the user needs to use it so that wastage of water would be stopped. It provides a good and clean hygienic environment for the public does not require electrical power from the electrical grid for operation but provides a source of free renewable energy that could be used to power other household items and can minimize capital cost and maintenance.
