Abstract

An electronically controlled lavatory flush tank (1) includes a hydraulic circuit (2) fitted with at least one valve (3; 4); and the hydraulic circuit (2) in turn has a fill inlet (10, 11) connectable to a water mains, and a vessel (12) having a drain hole (13). The tank (1) includes an electronic level sensor (5) for detecting the level of a fluid in the vessel (12); an electronic control circuit (6); and at least one electromechanical actuator (7; 8) activated by the electronic control circuit (6) for alternatively opening and closing the valve (3; 4) on the basis of the level detected by the level sensor (5).
