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 pivotable downspout extension system includes an adapter coupleable to a fixed-position downspout, an extension arm pivotally coupled to the adapter, the extension arm having a housing having counterweight apertures, counterweights configured to be received within the counterweight apertures, and a water channel extending from the housing, the water channel forming a pocket where the water channel joins the housing. The water channel remains substantially vertical until water weight exceeds the weight of the counterweights and causes the water channel to pivot and release water.

A customizable waterway to transport storm-water over non-permeable substrate. Affixed to the substrate, it is low-profile and weight-bearing to allow wheelchairs to pass over without interference and without disturbing the apparatus.

Disclosed herein is a water diverter comprising an adapter having a first end portion configured to be mounted to a lower end section of a gutter downspout, and a second end portion, and a curved pipe rotatably attached to the second end portion. Methods of making and using the diverter, and corresponding systems, also are described.

A downpipe fitting for coupling between top and bottom ends of a downpipe. The downpipe fitting includes two parts connected together and rotatable relative to one another about a longitudinal axis thereof. The first part has an inlet, sized and shaped to couple with an outlet of a first section of the downpipe, above the downpipe fitting. The second part has an outlet which is sized and shaped to couple with an inlet of a second section of the downpipe, below the downpipe fitting. The inlet and outlet of the fitting define a flow path for rainwater therethrough. Rotation of the second section of downpipe below the downpipe fitting, about the longitudinal axis, is decoupled from the first section of downpipe above the downpipe fitting.

An automatic downspout assembly includes an intake pipe that is fluidly coupled to a downspout of a gutter on a building to receive precipitation from the downspout. A spout is rotatably coupled to and extends laterally away from the intake pipe and the spout is in fluid communication with the intake pipe to receive the precipitation. A stand is positionable beneath the intake pipe when the intake pipe is fluidly coupled to the downspout to support the intake pipe above a support surface. A tipping pipe is fluidly coupled to the spout to receive precipitation from the spout. The tipping pipe is biased into a home position and the tipping pipe can be urged into a tipped position when the tipping pipe fills with precipitation. In this way the tipping pipe directs the precipitation onto ground.
