Abstract
An apparatus is described for the intermediate storage and control or release of a predeterminable quantity of water, wherein the predeterminable quantity of water is replenished, each time it has been released, from a supply main for the intermediate storage via an automatically acting supply valve arrangement. An elongate and substantially tubular container integratable into a wall construction is provided for the intermediate storage. This container is surrounded at least extensively by insulating material and is equipped at the outlet side with a valve which can be triggered to release the predeterminable quantity of water by means of an actuating element which can be installed at the container or at freely selectable distances from the container.
