ABSTRACT A water saving device for a flush toilet having a water tank and a buoyant type flapper valve that in a closed position covers an outlet opening in the bottom of the water tank. The device comprises a modified lift arm directly connected at one end to a flushing handle to be pivoted thereby, with a second portion of the arm being positioned generally above the flapper valve. In place of the usual chain, a rod is provided, connected at its lower end to the flapper valve and at its upper end to the free end of the arm. Movement of the handle in one direction, initiating a flush cycle, will pivot the lift arm and, through the rod, raise the flapper valve to an open position to permit discharge of water from the tank. Movement of the handle in the opposite direction will pivot the lift arm causing downward movement of the rod forcing the flapper valve into the closed position; this can be done before the normal flush cycle is complete, thus saving water. The water saving device offers full control over the volume of water spent in a flush cycle.
