  • Septic line cleaning assistance device
    Patent number: 9850652
    Abstract: A septic line cleaning assistance device that positions into alignment with a lower opening in a T-pipe to plug the lower opening in the T-pipe. The blocked lower opening enables a suction apparatus to suck waste from a pipe connected to a waste opening in the T-pipe through an upper opening in the T-pipe. A rod is configured to be inserted along the T-pipe and positioned into place along the T-pipe. The rod comprises a plug end holding the plug that is configured to frictionally engage the lower opening in the T-pipe to effectively seal the lower opening. A handle end having a grip enables the positioning of the plug over the lower opening, and pulling the plug into a mating position with the lower opening. An adjustable peripheral fastener is slidably positioned over the upper end of the T pipe to hold the device and plug in place.

  • System and method for irrigation
    Patent number: 9848543
    Abstract: A method for subsurface irrigation having the steps of; providing one or more hydrophobic porous uncoated tubes having a hydro head (HH), locating the tubes with at least a portion of their length within the rhizosphere of plants to be irrigated, and passing an aqueous irrigation liquid into the tubes during the growth phase of the plants to be irrigated at an applied pressure at or below HH. The tubes may be located in the proximity of seeds which become the plants to be irrigated following their germination. In this embodiment, aqueous irrigation fluid is passed into the tubes during a germination phase of the seeds at an applied pressure that is at least 10% higher than the applied pressure during the growth phase of the plants.
