A sump pump system having a primary pump, a fluid level sensor, and a primary controller electrically connected to the primary pump for activating the pump when the fluid level sensor indicates a predetermine fluid level has been reached, the primary controller having a primary interface for communicating with a secondary pump. In some forms, the system includes a secondary pump having a secondary controller electrically connected to the secondary pump and having a secondary interface, the primary and secondary interfaces allowing the primary and secondary pump controllers to communicate with one another and allowing at least one of the primary and secondary pump controllers to assume control of both the primary and secondary pump. Related methods are further described herein.

The present invention relates to a flow controller configured to selectively act as a pump or as a flow regulator. The flow controller comprises: an inlet for a fluid; an outlet for the fluid; a pump assembly arranged between the inlet and the outlet and configured to pump the fluid through the flow controller from the inlet to the outlet; a hydro electrical generator assembly arranged between the inlet and the outlet, the hydro electrical generator assembly configured to allow the fluid flow through the flow controller from the inlet to the outlet and to generate electricity by transforming flow energy of the fluid flowing through the flow controller into electricity; and a mode controller configured to selectively set the flow controller in a pumping mode or in an electricity generating mode.

A pump system comprising a primary AC pump, a battery powered back-up pump, a back-up battery for powering the back-up pump, and a display unit for displaying the status of the pump system. The display unit having a visual indicator configured to be lit in at least two colors.

A bath jet apparatus includes a housing and a motor in the housing to rotate an impeller. The bath jet apparatus is cordless.

An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration that includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump that is mounted on the single pump trailer. A pump configuration includes a single VFD configuration, the single shaft electric motor, and the single shaft hydraulic pump mounted on the single pump trailer. The single VFD configuration converts the electric power at the power generation voltage level distributed from the power distribution trailer to a VFD voltage level and drives the single shaft electric motor to control the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The VFD voltage level is a voltage level that is required to drive the single shaft electric motor. The VFD configuration also controls operation of the auxiliary systems based on the electric power at the auxiliary voltage level.

An integrated, portable, battery-powered, variable-pressure electric liquid pump and power emergency station including one of one or more wired sensors and one or more wireless sensors that provide at least one of real-time heat, water, smoke, barometric, wind speed, humidity, distance, or seismic data, wherein the emergency station includes at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, provide at least one of the emergency station, one or more users, and one more ancillary devices with at least one of real-time heat, water, smoke, barometric, wind speed, humidity, distance, and seismic data from at least one of the one or more wired sensors and the one or more wireless sensors.

An electrically powered pool cleaner may include a housing defining an axial passageway. A rotatable sleeve impeller may be supported by the housing within the axial passageway. The axial passageway may include an unobstructed central portion for passage of fluid and pool debris therethrough into a filter bag removably connected to the housing. A motor may be operatively connected to the sleeve impeller and a power supply operatively connected to the motor. Rotation of the sleeve impeller may accelerate fluid flow through the axial passageway for drawing debris in the pool into the filter bag.

An apparatus for use in a bathtub containing water includes an outer shell, a soap holder, configured to hold a liquid soap, at least one set of blades, and a motor disposed within the outer shell and coupled to the set of blades. The motor is configured to form soap bubbles by spinning the set of blades such that the blades lift the water from the bathtub, and pass the lifted water, together with liquid soap from the soap holder, through air.

The present disclosure relates to the field of apparatus used in agriculture and irrigation. The existing solutions available with small acreage farmers having access to shallow groundwater are too large or too small in capacity as compared to the size of the farms and have designs which are complicated or unnecessarily expensive. The present disclosure envisages an apparatus (100) which is environment friendly, economical, compact and requires minimum human intervention for operation. The apparatus of the present disclosure (100) has components having dimensions derived from a target specific speed ranging from 600 to 2000 (US unitsrpm, gpm, ft) making the apparatus (100) most suitable and efficient for the afore-stated application.

A mobile power supply device and method for energizing a sump pump in a sump pit during a power outage, and a mobile power supply device and method for energizing a sump pump secured to a bottom portion of the device. The device includes an enclosure similar to a dolly that is manufactured from plastic or similar non-electrically conductive material to minimize weight to enable the manual lifting and pulling of the mobile power supply device, and to promote safety by reducing the chance of an electrical short circuit when supplying electrical power to a sump pump. The enclosure includes a carrying handle and a relatively large dolly handle that cooperate with castors attached to a bottom portion or bottom surface of the enclosure. The castors promote manual movement of the device upon a substantially horizontal surface or up and/or down stairs leading to a sump pump in a sump pump well or pit in a basement.

An alternative mobile-automatic start and stop power supply for a sump pump includes a mobile enclosure that a person can lift with a battery, a battery charger an electrical inverter disposed in said enclosure. The electrical inverter is sized to energize the sump pump in the sump pump well and to charge the battery. The inverter includes an internal transfer switch for disconnecting electrical power from an existing electrical receptacle that supplies power to the sump pump, and connecting the electrical inverter to the sump pump after disconnecting the existing electrical receptacle from the sump pump; whereupon, the inverter continually lowers the water level in the sump pump well until power to the existing electrical receptacle is restored or until the battery is discharged to voltage levels incapable of energizing the sump pump.
