Furthermore, the pit grill 570 is coupled to the slating plate 571 using a shaft 573. In use, when the user rotates the grip 555, the slanting plate 571 provided underneath the pit grill 570 gets rotated. As such, when the liquid is falling through the hole 561, the liquid flow down through the cut section 572 and fall down only to the required chamber underneath. In other words, the slanting plate 571 prevents liquid from falling in to the undesired chamber at the same time trans-locates to the other side chamber. As such, flow of the liquid can be controlled in the desired path. [0060] Referring the FIG. 6A, an exemplary embodiment of a housing 620 is shown. As can be seen the housing 620 comprises a hollow structure 621. Further, the housing 620 comprises a plurality outlet vents 622A, and 622B. Further, the housing 620 receives a valve member 630 through the hollow structure 621. In the current exemplary embodiment, the shape of the valve member 630 is different from the valve member 30 shown in FIG. 1 A.

[0061] The valve member 630 comprises a projected surface 631. Further, the valve member 630 comprises an inward area 632 which acts as the permissible position that allows outward flow of water. Further, the valve member 630 comprises two projections 633 at top and 634 at bottom which help the valve member 630 remain steady at center and keep one outlet path (622 A or622B) closed with the proj ected surface 631. In addition, the valve member 630 comprises a groove 639 formed to the structure of the projected surface 631. In one example, the valve member 630 at bottom 663 may comprise a plurality of openings 664 which are made to submerge in water and permits outward flow and works as water-trap. [0062] Now referring to FIG. 6C, a support member 640 is shown. The support member 640 comprises a groove 645. Further, the support member 640 comprises markings such as 64R and 64W to indicate position of the outlet vents 622A and 622B respectively.

[0063] In accordance with the current embodiment, a pit grill 650 comprising a plurality of holes 651 is shown in FIG. 6D. Further, the pit grill 650 comprises a cylindrical body 652 extending downward. Further, the pit grill 650 is provided with grips 655 to rotate the pit grill 650. Furthermore, the pit grill 650 comprises a projection 659 as shown in FIG. 6D. The projection 659 is coupled to the groove 639 on the valve member 630. [0064] In operation, the pit grill 650 is rotated to rotate the valve member 630. Since the projected surface 631 is smaller, the inward area 632 acts as the permissible position, that allows outward flow of water. The openings 664 kept submerged in water, permit that outward flow and work as water-trap. The two projections 633 at top and 634 at bottom helps the valve member 630 remain steady at center and keep one exit path (622 A or 622B) keep closed with the projected surface 631. Additional stoppers may be provided to prevent extra / unwanted rotation beyond the required move other than desired 45 degree.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 7A and 7B, a pit housing 710 is shown, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In the present embodiment, the pit housing 710 is provided in a V-shape. In other words, the pit housing 710 is provided at an angle ranging from 120 to 170 degrees. As such, the pit housing 710 comprises two opposing flat surfaces 75 A and 75B. Although the shape of the pit housing 710 is shape to be in V-shape, it should be understood that the shape may include A-shape. Each of the flat surfaces 75A and 75B comprises one exit openings 73 A and 73B, respectively. Further, the exit openings 73 A and 73B lead to outlet vents 72A and 72B, respectively. The outlet vents 72A and 72B can be either parallel downwards or in straight line to the opposing sides.

[0066] The pit housing 710 comprises a support member 740 and a covering grill 750. There is an oscillating by-flapped V-shutters 74A and 74B having pivoted point 76 at its bottom j oint and a rod 71 in between which is long enough to come out through the covering grill 750. The covering grill 750 comprises a long central cut 751 through which the rod 71 is supposed to come out always. Further, a ball-knob 70 is fixed to the rod 71 at its tip after putting the covering grill 750 back on position. When the rod 751 slants to side-R / 74R, the V-shutter of that side 74A gets in touch with that V-flat surface (75A). As a result, liquid cannot flow through the outlet vent 72A. That is, whole water coming to pit housing 710 will flow only through exit path outlet vent 72B which should be leading to recycling pit. On the other way, if the ball knob 70 is at side-W/ 74W, then the V-shutter of that side 74B will touch the side flat surface 75B and closes the opening 73B. As a result, all the water will flow only through outlet vent 72 A which leads to total waste water pit.

[0067] If more water reaches suddenly and fills the pit housing 710, there is a chance of getting the V-shutters float and fail to close one hole perfectly. To avoid such situation and hold the rod 71 steady at that side, small friction grips 759 are provided at both sides of the central cut 751. Once the rod 71 passes that grip on one side, it cannot come back without human manipulation. In this way, the bypassing of used water can be executed easily. Further, an additional grip / catch may be provided to keep the pivot point 76 steady at the bottom of the pit housing 710.

[0068] The protrusion of the knob shall be lesser at sides of the grill but it will be high at center part of the grill cut 751. At center the rod 71 will be exposed over the grill 750. Because of the bi-flapped valve design described above, tilting distance of the pivot rod 71 is reduced. If it is single shutter, where the lid 74 is on the rod 71 itself; the angular movement it should perform must be very high and the protuberance of the rod 71 will be very high at center part and shall be disturbing.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 8A, 8B and 8C, an oscillating pivot lever trap is explained, in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. In the present embodiment, a housing 810 is provided in square shape and outlets vents 82A and 82B are provided at same side. The housing 810 is coupled to an inner water trapping vessel 830. The inner water trapping vessel 830 may be provided in a cylindrical or in a square shaped structure. The housing 810 is coupled to a pit grill 850 to receive liquid/water. When water reaches inside through the pit grill 850 to the central hole 811 and pass to sides through the cut holes / gaps provided at bottom of the trapping vessel 830. Further, the housing 810 is provided with a knob 80 at top side at the top side of the pivot 81 having broader flaps at bottom side 82. The pivot is on the shaft 83 and the washer thickness 84 which provide more strength and gap from trapping vessel body.

[0070] The housing 810 comprises a half way down groove 85 on outer portion, up to the right level for permitting the sliding down of the pivot shaft 83 together with the trapping vessel 830. Once the pivot shaft 83 reaches to this middle (its permitted bottom) position, then the pivot shaft 83 will get stability and the pivot shaft 83 will only permit the required oscillations. The trapping vessel 830 is kept steady by providing more stability runners 812.

[0071] The housing 810 further comprises a support member 840. The support member 840 comprises a long cut 841 for permitting the oscillation of the pivot 81. Markings R/Green color (84R) and W/Red color (84W) may be provided at either ends of the cut 841 for indicating recyclable and total waste tracks respectively. When the knob 80 is pushed to R/Green side, the bottom flap 82 of the pivot 83 will close the hole 82B. As a result, water is made to flow only through a hole 82A which leads to recycle tank. If the knob 80 is pushed to W/Red side, the bottom flap 82 will move to hole 82A and open the path 82B which leads the water only to total waste pit.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 9A and 9B, an apparatus 900 adapting double layered slanting lid trap mechanism is explained. FIG. 9A illustrates a vertical cross section and FIG. 9B is a perspective view without having housing and trap parts for detailing the double layered slanting lid trap mechanism. The apparatus 900 comprises a tiltable lid 930. The tiltable lid 930 comprises a top layer 951 and a bottom layer 952 which is inter connected at sides making a duct 95 inside. The bottom layer 952 is larger than the top layer 951. Specifically, the bottom layer 952 is larger than the top layer 951 at opening sides 96A and 96B. [0073] When a tilt-able lid 930 comes parallel to the support member 940, the top layer grill 951 comes parallel to the support member 940 and closes the entire sides and work as a perfect lid preventing water exit. The tilt-able lid 930 tilts to either side across the shaft 93, which is provided above to a pit partition 911. [0074] When the user push down the tiltable lid 930 at side 94C, the tiltable lid 930 will slant to chamber 91 A and the prolonged part 96B of the bottom lid 952 will touch the bottom side 94B of the support member 940 and the opening 95A of duct 95 will get exposed above the floor surface. In order to allow the water to flow from 94D side to the chamber 91 A, the tilt-able lid 930 is slanted from 95A to 95B. At the same time the water at 94C side will fall to gap 955 and further to the chamber 91A. Similarly, the tiltable lid 930 may slant in opposite side direct the water to 91B. When the tiltable lid 930 slants in other side, the prolonged part 96 A of the bottom lid 952 gets in touch with the part 94 A and prevents any spill to the 91 A. As a result, water will only go to the chamber 91B. That is the outlet vents 92A or 92B get used water according to the slanting of lid toward its same side. The support member 940 may be provide with markings to indicate the correct track with colour code such as green and red or R/ W marking for representing recyclable and total waste paths respectively.

[0075] Water will be collected always in the bottom of the pit up to the level of exit pipe 912. The trap covers 97A and 97B having holes 961 at bottom side which will come under the water holding level 912 making the outlet vents 92 A and 92B not directly exposed to bathroom floor. In this way, the current mechanism works as a water trap too. The covers 97 can be as simple as (460 or 470) explained in figure (4Aand 4B). [0076] The current mechanism may be implemented as a single layer lid. In such mechanism, to prevent water flow to undesired chamber, that side's lid is not opened / slanted up. That is, only one half of the lid over the required pit should go down by pressing. In other words, the lid is divided and only one part is made to work at a time. Since there is no counterpart to lift the downward lid up, a spring load mechanism may be provided to get it closed in next push or the other side push.

[0077] Extra inlet pipes provision can be done to both chambers. When implemented, the water coming to that chamber will only go to that side exit vent. If we can ensure the additional water source will not have soapy content, (suppose the exit from bath tub), we can directly connect to this Green / Recycle side. Otherwise, if there is chance for both re-usable and contaminated, (eg. Form wash basins) we have to lay double line piping from those secondary sources to each of these chambers and have to do the required adjustments at the time of use.

[0078] The apparatus explained above can be used for kitchen or bathroom sinks. Further, the apparatus may be used for septic tanks or drainage systems. The grips may be operated using hands or legs depending on the position of the grip on the pit grill.

[0079] Examples are provided to illustrate the present disclosure to drain water using two outlet vents for washing machines.

[0080] Currently, washing machines come with mono track for drain and spin outflows. In order to save water for irrigational or recyclable needs, the existing washing machines may be fitted with the apparatus with multiple outlets explained above. As such, one track (outlet vent) can be permanently connected to fully waste pit and the other track (outlet vent) permanently to reusable tank. User can manually choose the track opening from washing machine itself or it can be done according to the program in fully automatic machines.

[0081] Presently some single pit single exit water-traps available have adaptation to connect the washing machine's exit pipe externally. That is it will allow draining of the soapy water without spreading over the toilet floor. By implementing the present disclosure, each chamber in the same trap-pit should have one each external connectors for the same tidy need explained above. The track could be make identified with R/Green and W/Red markings as well representing recyclable and total waste paths respectively. [0082] Another example includes providing double outlet water closet. As known, lavatory flushing is one of the largest water consuming areas in every household and other accommodation. A lavatory closet having this bypassing feature shall be a more value item since there is no practice of fixing a separate urinal basin in the same toilet now a days. This bifurcation can be executed by various means. One is an add-on valve piece to fix in between closet vent and connecting pipe in horizontal way. The same can be done in vertical way too and can be fixed far away from closet. Another model is a new two-way-ready closet itself where the users have option to control/block the solid waste (total waste) channel by the built in valve or bush which can be operated by liver (peddle or hand operating) or cable or rod (by push or pull) or electro / mechanical way. If this bypassing is executed with power / motor controlled, a single unit down on the common track is only required, where parallel control- switch connections to each toilet have to be done for each toilet's operation. Right now there are two switches/knobs available for flushing. One is for limited quantity water use while the other one drain completes water from the flush tank. As a part of this invention, we suggest a third stitch for flushing which can simultaneously operate the flow track as well as the flush opening. If so, the users only need to operate only one switch for urine flushing to gain the water saving work. All these operations should be executed with universal color code schemes - R/Green and W/Red marking or color principle. (Figures not included). Saving water for good needs with the help of these innovative products shall be very easy and practical. However, to execute these, user need to fix some storage tanks at lower level than all these water sources. However it shall be good if they are plastic tanks with lids, one each for each type of water source and it is placed on open ground. Lid will help to prevent mosquito growth and spreading foul smell that may come from kitchen and WC effluents. Use of separate tanks will help users to irrigate the specific water to specific areas. For example, they can avoid loan irrigation with WC effluents or they can only use amino-rich water after cutting fish from kitchen, only for irrigating trees and so. It shall be good join all tanks form bottom with separate control valves and a motor to pump when needed. It shall be good fixing an irrigation line system to all places around house including terrace. Moreover, it is good to have a total waste pit nearby or pipe connected so that the user can drain all the stored water without pumping. All with these ideas we intent to help people to get more irrigative water even in the peek summers at their households, for growing more organic vegetable, garden and other greenery around it. Likewise, it also intends to help industries to treat waste water most effectively and efficiently with least effort and cost. We have illustrated only few different styles of traps working with this principle, even-though, much more varieties we have gone through in the development process.

[0083] While specific language has been used to describe the disclosure, any limitations arising on account of the same are not intended.
