摘要:
Embodiments of the disclosed invention provide for a wheeled apparatus suitable for storing liquids, such as water for consumption, when ordinary drinking water may be scarce or unavailable. Embodiments disclosed herein can be collapsed and stored in a small profile arrangement during periods when the apparatus is not in use. Embodiments may include wheels so that the apparatus may be assembled in one location and rolled to a water source, and rolled to shelter when full of water. Embodiments may provide a hose to connect the apparatus to a standard household faucets or spigots. Once the apparatus is filled, it can be rolled to storage location while awaiting future needs. After an emergency situation passes, the apparatus may be drained and re-packed for storage.

摘要:
An underground water-storage system that includes a sump having a base and sidewalls that cooperate to define an open-topped box that defines a reservoir, a plurality of plastic water matrices each defining a void space for receiving water, and a lid. The sump and lid are formed of a reinforced geomembrane material and include welds and are prefabricated in a location remote from an installation site of the underground water-storage vault more than two days prior to installation.
摘要:
A valve arrangement for selectably directing water to an end user from either a first continuous mains pressure source of water or a second source of water supplied intermittently from a water storage facility by pump means (16), said valve arrangement (10) including a first valve means (44,59) being positionable in an open position permitting water from said first continuous mains pressure source to flow to said end user, said first valve means being movable to a closed position to prevent water flow from said first continuous mains pressure source to said end user, said first valve means being moved to said closed position by water pressure of water supplied from said second source by said pump means, said valve arrangement including a second valve means (23,58) positionable in an open condition or a closed condition, said second valve means being moved to said open condition by water pressure of water supplied from said second source by said pump means as said first valve means is moved to said closed position, said second valve means being movable to said closed condition by said first valve means being moved to said open position.
摘要:
An arrangement for filling watering cans (16), having a container (10) for receiving liquid, wherein the container is assigned a closable outlet and an in particular closable inlet. In this case, an effective cross section of the outlet may be larger than an effective cross section of the inlet.

A water collection structure comprises within it first and second sub-chambers and at least one water collection chamber. The first sub-chamber is at least partially bounded by a wall and has extending from it a water input guide configured and arranged to direct water toward a portion of the wall of the first sub-chamber. The second sub-chamber is open to the first sub-chamber and configured to accept a filter. The second sub-chamber is open to a conduit configured for the carriage of water from the second sub-chamber to an output port of the water collection tank. In use a filter disposed in the second sub-chamber preferentially filters water from the first sub-chamber such filtered water being deflected by the wall of the second sub-chamber to fall into the water collection chamber while the debris laden waste water falls out the lower part of the filter into the conduit.
摘要:
A rainwater collection and distribution system embodying a rain collector apparatus for collecting rainwater in an easy to transport tank is provided, wherein the apparatus is adapted to direct excessive rainwater as well as relocate and distribute rainwater stored in the tank. The rain collector may form an internal cavity for receiving rainwater. A recessed operative surface along an upper portion of the rain collector may form a plurality of apertures for receiving and communicating the rainwater into the internal cavity. The operative surface may be sloped so that rainwater in excess of the capacity of the internal cavity is directed along the slope to a predetermined location. The rain collector may form a handle and a pour spout, whereby a user may transport the rainwater stored in the internal cavity and pour stored rainwater through the pour spout for a desired reuse activity.

An emergency water storage system comprises a water storage tank coupled in-line with a water heater, wherein water flows through the water storage tank into the water heater. The water storage system further comprises a vacuum avoidance valve coupled to water piping, wherein the vacuum avoidance valve is coupled after a by-pass valve. The water storage system also comprises a mid-tank feeder pipe, wherein water enters the water storage tank from a bottom of the mid tank pipe at a bottom of the water storage tank and leaves the water storage tank from a top of the mid tank pipe at the top of the tank. The emergency water storage system may also include a shut off/by-pass valve system. Further still the emergency water storage system comprises a mini-arrester to eliminate any hammering created by any air in the system.

A portable drinker system is configured with a convertible frame that enable a water collector to be assembled in a desired location. The portable drinker system may be configured to be carried by a single person and have suitable packed dimensions and weight for this purpose. The water collector has a canopy that is supported by the convertible frame and a drain opening to collect water. The water collector is configured to direct water collected therein to a drinker. A conduit may be coupled to a water collector and extend to drinker. A drinker comprises a water retainer that is configured for animals to drink therefrom. A convertible frame may have articulating scissor portions or integrally segmented poles or some combination thereof. The canopy may have sleeves for the insertion of poles that can be bowed to form a structure.
