SEDIMENT CAPTURE SYPHON APPARATUS
A sediment capture syphon apparatus for capturing sediment from a borrow site is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a containment basin having a containment basin pump valve and a vacuum tank vacuum valve configured to pump water to a vacuum tank. The vacuum tank is connected to an anti-static pressure tank and a backwash tank via one or more valves and conduits. The containment basin is further connected to a separator tank configured to pull the sediment deposits from a submerged filter. A filter assembly is configured to deposit the sediment in the deposited location. The apparatus further includes a buoyancy lift configured to exert a buoyancy lift float mechanism to float deposit and a waterfall tank to receive water flow from the filter assembly by creating pressure. The apparatus is further connected to an electrical power source to power a battery comprising one or more switches via a wire.
Safety system for a fish-tank siphon
A safety system for a fish-tank siphon is an apparatus used to prevent suction of a fish-tank-cleaning siphon from becoming obstructed by fish, underwater plant life, rocks, or other large tank contaminants. The apparatus is configured to protect the intake by preventing potential obstructions from entering the siphon at all. The apparatus includes a grate, a mating mechanism, and a siphon inlet. The grate acts as a protective filter, preventing large items from entering a connected fish-tank-cleaning siphon. The mating mechanism allows for connection of the present invention to a fish-tank-cleaning siphon. The siphon inlet is a section of the fish-tank-cleaning siphon through which the vacuum is applied in order to remove dirty water and water contaminants. The general configuration of these components allows the apparatus to prevent a fish-tank-cleaning siphon from incidentally collecting fish or other underwater creatures, plant life, pebbles, or other contaminants while vacuum-cleaning a fish tank.

Liquid transfer apparatus
A liquid transfer apparatus comprises an output terminal device, a receiving terminal device, a connecting pipeline, and a control device. The output terminal device includes a first pressurizing member for filling the first storage container with high-pressure air. The receiving terminal device includes an air pressure adjusting member for adjusting the air pressure inside the second storage container. When the liquid transfer apparatus is in a non-transferring state, the air pressure inside the second storage container is high enough to prevent the liquid in the first storage container flow into the connecting pipeline. And when the liquid transfer apparatus is in a transferring state, the pressure difference between the inside of the first storage container and the inside of the second storage container is sufficient to drive the liquid in the first storage container to enter the second storage container.

Water diversion assembly
The water diversion assembly of the present invention herein diverts and preserves the water supply when water supply is currently below the threshold temperature. The present invention relates to a water diversion assembly having a hot water inlet connected to a hot water supply and a cold water inlet connected to a cold water supply. An appliance outlet, for use by the user of an appliance, is configured to connect and deliver a water mix at an outlet temperature. The appliance outlet is in fluid communication with the hot water inlet, the cold water inlet, and a water collection outlet. Within the water diversion assembly, a thermostatic diversion valve having a hot water threshold temperature setting and arranged such that water from the hot water supply via the hot water inlet is delivered to the water collection outlet until the hot water threshold temperature is reached and then thermostatically diverted to a thermostatic mixing valve.
