A monitoring system for monitoring a liquid handling system may comprise at least one liquid level sensor and/or at least one gateway computer. The at least one liquid level sensor may be configured to monitor at least one liquid level of at least one liquid handling element. The at least one gateway computer may be in communication with the at least one liquid level sensor. The at least one gateway computer may be configured to receive sensor readings, report information describing the readings, identify at least one rule-triggering event, and perform an action in response to identifying the at least one rule-triggering event in accordance with at least one rule.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for automatic backflow identification, detection, remediation, and/or management. In some embodiments, a backflow management device may comprise a threaded and electronically-enabled plug installed in a non-pressurized pipe system cleanout, branch, or stub.

Machine for emptying, washing and sanitizing of the portable tanks used in the toilets of recreational vehicles (for example, campers, motor homes, caravans and boats), characterized by a structure widi sliding door, in which the tank is inserted; the machine comprises sensors capable of detecting the type of the tank inserted. The washing procedure starts by rotating the pour-out spout, unscrewing the lid and lifting the tank into a vertical position, thus emptying it into the drainage system. A coupling mask then automatically slides open the lid and opens all the valves and sealing plugs. A lance then injects water and detergent at high pressure inside the tank, thus washing inside. The machine then washes the outside of the tank and of the cap of the same, filling it widi sanitizing liquids, drying and re-delivering it to the user through its completely automated, electronically-controlled method thus guaranteeing hygiene and safety. The machine provides for direct connection to the sewerage system or to a collecting tank and backup systems for electricity and water supplies.

A blocked sewer unit includes a substantially impermeable barrier having a first side exposed to the interior of a sewage network and a second side, the barrier movable in the direction of the second side in response to fluid pressure on the first side. The blocked sewer alert unit includes a transducer separated by the barrier from the sewage network, the transducer configured to generate an electrical signal when the barrier moves into the dry section. The blocked sewer alert unit includes an alarm circuit configured to convert the electrical signal into a user alert.

An intake nozzle fits onto the suction hose of a vacuum pumper truck. The nozzle comprises a tubular housing and the rotor within the housing near the intake end. The rotor includes a hollow cylindrical canister and spiral vanes on its exterior. Ambient air enters an air tube, penetrates the side of the housing and supplies ambient air to the interior of the canister. The air exits through outlet ports into the liquid waste as it moves past under vacuum. The injected air reduces the density of the liquid waste, speeding up the pumping process and reducing the incidence of blockages.
