A mixing chamber for use in a toilet sanitizing system consists of a cylindrical housing having an upper opening closed by a closure cap. The closure cap is removed to gain access to the internal chamber of the housing and is threaded over the upper opening to close the internal chamber. The internal chamber of the housing includes a spring to support a lower surface of a dispenser enclosing a block of germicide substance that is inserted into the internal chamber through the upper opening while the closure cap is removed. The internal chamber has three ports, an upper inlet port that enters the internal chamber tangentially, a middle outlet port exiting the chamber radially, and a lower outlet port radially exiting the chamber and located just above a lower wall of the chamber. The upper port is connected to a source of water, the middle port is connected to a toilet bowl, and the lower port is connected to the associated toilet seat. In operation, a block of germicide substance is placed within a dispenser in the internal chamber and wedged between the spring and lower portion of the closure cap. When the associated toilet is flushed, water is supplied through the upper port, flows tangentially over the dispenser and block of germicide substance, dissolving some of the block to create a sanitizing solution, which then flows into the lower portion of the internal chamber filling it and exiting from the middle port to the toilet bowl and from the lower port to the toilet seat under influence of a pump. When the inlet valve is closed, the pump is concurrently stopped and any sanitizing solution that subsides above the level of the middle port naturally drains to the toilet bowl. |
