A water pump comprises a pump body, a cylindrical supporting portion, a pulley, a shaft portion, an impeller, a seal member, a pulley cylinder portion, a wall portion, a through-hole formed, a cover covering the wall portion and the pulley cylinder portion of the pulley from one side of the pulley, and the cover formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom portion and including a reservoir for receiving fluid that has leaked through the seal member.

A water pump includes an impeller; an impeller shaft around which the impeller rotates; a first bearing portion that supports one end of the impeller shaft; a second bearing portion that supports the other end of the impeller shaft; a housing portion in which the impeller is inserted; and an upper housing including attachment holes provided at equal intervals in a circumferential direction, which are used to attach the upper housing to the housing portion, and a discharge port from which coolant...

A water grinder including: a housing in which a rotary shaft is drivably disposed, the rotary shaft being formed with an axial passage; a water incoming flow way formed in the housing; a valve disposed in the housing and controllable by a selection switch; an external water discharging assembly disposed at a front end of the housing and having at least one water outlet; and a water flow bypass communicating with the external water discharging assembly and the valve. By means of turning the selec...

Each water engaging means is connected to the chassis portion (78) and is moveable in a substantially vertical direction relative to the chassis portion (78), and the interconnection means is arranged to functionally link the at least four water engagi...

In accordance with the principles of the present invention, methods and apparatuses are provided for practically complete removal of one or more electron acceptors (excluding oxygen) from waters of various origins, while ensuring that an added excess of external carbon is also practically completely removed using biological treatment. A method applies to waters that contain the target electron acceptor and a deficiency of carbon. One application of this method is the practically complete removal...

The water heater includes a burner and a water tank. Combustion products flow upwardly around the tank through a combustion products path where heat transfer to water in the tank occurs, the path being defined between the outer wall of the tank and a surrounding heat exchanger wall. The combustion products pass through outlet at the upper end of wall, and enter the flue which includes a down flow passage and then pass out through discharge outlet. The down flow passage is defined between a flue ...

A water caddy for capturing, containing, transporting, and emptying a fluid includes an open top fluid container pivotally attached to a cabinet set on wheels. The fluid container is pivotable between a fill position in which the container receives fluid through the open top and an empty position in which fluid is emptied from the container through the open top without having to lift any portion of the cabinet. A pneumatic actuator interconnecting the cabinet and fluid container assists the user...

A process (10) for treating sulphate-containing water (28) includes feeding the water into a biological sulphate reduction stage (12) containing a complex carbon source (18). The water is subjected to biological sulphate reduction in the presence of an electron donor source, thereby to reduce sulphates in the water to sulphides and to produce alkalinity. The complex carbon source is contacted with water containing higher sulphide and alkalinity concentrations or levels than the sulphate-containi...

A water cooler/water purification station that is portable, and small in size that is capable of cooling and purifying about 8 to 15 liters of water per hour between 3 to 10.degree. C. The water cooler/water purification station is equipped with an ultraviolet lamp which serves to kill bacteria in stagnant water. A removable kit is positioned in the top of the housing. The Kit includes various sensors, as well as, the UV lamp and an exit passageway 70 for treated water.

The invention discloses an improved seal for providing protection against water, water vapor, and other vapors from entering into and permeating through a concrete slab. The seal includes three primary functional edges extending from a common junction, a first edge positioned substantially horizontally to be moisture proof fastened to a geo-membrane liner over which a slab is to be poured, a second edge extending downwardly to the first edge to be embedded into a foundation, and a third edge ext...
