Went for a Blake Lavac Zenith ... Intake water is sucked from a 6 litre domestic loo
cistern which is plumbed directly into FW supply - just like at home...

Connecting ANY toilet not specifically designed to use pressured water,
or a flush water tank, to the potable water supply is very risky...cuz
there's nothing to prevent bacteria from the bowl from migrating into
the potable water supply. In fact, every mfr of raw water toilets
specifically warns against connecting the toilet or any toilet plumbing
to the fresh water supply.

I know yours is "buffered" by a separate tank, but if bacteria migrate
into that tank, they can also migrate into the plumbing.

A safe way to do it would be to y-valve the flush water tank fill into a
sink drain line...run water down the sink to fill the tank. You
accomplish the same thing without exposing the potable water supply to
contamination.
