Purple Pipe Washing Machine Kit
20170306592 · 2017-10-26 ·

This invention harvests abundant, highly usable washing machine rinse cycle water for irrigation and other uses. This is accomplished using two separate devices working together; it is comprised of a valve assembly (FIG. 2B), for diverting this rinse water to a collector and the collector (10) which improves the quality of the water, then distributes it. By closing a single valve (7) during the rinse cycle, the user is effectively watering the landscaping. The rinse water is regenerated during normal household washing so it is not dependent on rain. It does not use power nor does it depend on filters or storing water. It reduces the amount of city water required as well as reducing the volume of waste water generated.

The present invention comprises a self-contained mobile living space that mimics the amenities of an entire residential property in order to affordably house individuals, particularly in urban environments. All living necessities are fused into one micro-living platform, independent of access to existing structures, land space, electricity, or sewage hookups, allowing landowners to rent out space with limited effort. The wheeled foundation allows the assembly to circumvent some of the existing urban building codes. In preferred embodiments, the various elements are configured in such a way that separate areas for sleeping, leisure, bathing, cooking, and gardening can be had atop a single compact space, with the use of exterior space maximized to heighten the sense of spatial availability for the occupant. The invention provides a new alternative for affordable urban housing, exploiting available residential land without the expense, permitting, or effort associated with permanent construction on a non-portable foundation.

Siphon aid for siphoning grey water
09725887 · 2017-08-08 ·

Disclosed herein is a device for facilitating siphoning of greywater (graywater) or gently used water. An adapter is designed to fit onto the end of a hose or tube. The adapter is manually held tightly or attached by friction to a spigot or faucet. The faucet is turned on and running water primes the hose. The adapter is then placed under the surface of a collection of greywater in a sink, tub, clothes washer and the like. Greywater is then allowed to flow to a garden, lawn, cistern or other place where the greywater can be put to use instead of shunting it into a sewer. The device includes a funnel-shaped portion and a threaded portion. The device is made from a pliant material such as a silicone rubber or plastic.
