A sump pump irrigation assembly for reducing water erosion from a sump pump outlet includes a plurality of fluid fittings. A respective one of the fluid fittings is fluidly coupled to an outlet of a sump pump to receive water from the outlet. A supply pipe is fluidly coupled to the fluid fitting that is fluidly coupled to the outlet to receive the water from the fluid fitting. A plurality of drainage pipes is each of the drainage pipes is in fluid communication with the supply pipe to receive the water from the supply pipe. Each of the drainage pipes has a plurality of holes therein to release the water outwardly therefrom. A plurality of cleanout fittings is each fluidly coupled between a respective pair of the drainage pipes. Each of the cleanout fittings has an access port to facilitate debris to be removed from the cleanout fittings.

A pump control system receives inputs from a low level fluid level sensor, a high level fluid level sensor, and/or a temperature sensor. Based on inputs from the sensors, and in response to sensed trouble conditions, duplex pumping or pump specific simplex operation is restricted based on past and present pump current draws. Furthermore, using the temperature sensor and a temperature sensor output device, the temperature of the sump environment can be monitored at will from a remote location.

A valve system (13), connectable to a pump system (1), includes a pump assembly (3) connectable to a pipe (5), wherein the valve system (13) includes a valve (15) including a pipe section (39), of the pipe (5), that defines a primary flow direction (19), and a valve opening (41) in the pipe section, a valve seat (43) and a valve body (45). The valve opening (41), the valve seat (43) and the valve body (45) define a common valve axis (47) extending transversely to the primary flow direction. An operating element (49), arranged at the pipe section opposite the valve opening, is configured to control the valve body for operating in a check-valve mode to open the valve opening upon a fluid flow from the valve opening towards the valve body and for operating in a shut off-valve to close the valve opening for any fluid flow direction.

Methods and systems of providing domestic water service to a commercial/residential building via a water booster pump assembly are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the water booster pump assembly includes first and second water pipe branch circuits. In some embodiments, each water pipe branch circuit is configured with a backflow preventer and the water pipe branch circuits are fluidly coupled to one another in parallel. In some embodiments, the water pipe branch circuits are further coupled to one another via a crossover branch pipe configured to allow continuous flow through the two backflow preventers. Each water pipe branch circuit may include a pump. The crossover branch allows water to flow through both backflow preventers, even when one pump is inoperative.

The present invention describes a liquid recycling system and method for purifying and either recirculating or discarding of liquid. The system includes a liquid input line, a tank, and a circulation pump for providing recirculation of liquid from the tank. A filter and a heater are used to treat liquid from the circulation pump. A valve is provided to direct liquid either to a shower head or faucet, or back to the tank. Additional plumbing and components can be used to provide multiple independent recirculation loops with the tank. An electronic controller can be used to control components of the present invention, where a user could interface with the controller via a control panel or a software application accessed by a portable electronic device.
