Abstract: A coupling may be configured to receive and secure an insertion end of a conduit. An outer surface of the insertion end of the conduit may be smooth and free of grooves, flanges and beads. A first member of the coupling may define a first passageway. A second member of the coupling may define a second passageway. The first member may be in spin weld engagement with the second member. A gripping ring having an inner edge defining a series of teeth may be disposed within the second member. A support ring and O-ring may also be disposed within the second member.

Abstract: An irrigation controller is disclosed. The irrigation controller may utilize an estimated replenishment point level time to determine when to water at least one watering zone within a property. The estimated replenishment point time is a time when the estimated in-soil water level will reach or extend below a replenishment point level within the at least one watering zone. The replenishment point level may be based, for example, on plant type.

Abstract: A system, method, and device may be used to provide irrigation water consumption data. An irrigation flow controller may include an irrigation valve interface and controller that communicates with irrigation valves to open and close the valves. An identification module identifies one or more time periods when water consumption is not likely to occur or is likely minimal and a calibration module opens and closes the irrigation valves according to calibration schedule data. A timestamp module may identify a calibration valve open time and a calibration valve close time for the irrigation valves and a computational module may calculate a computed flow rate for the irrigation valves based on the calibration valve open time, the calibration valve close time, and the actual water usage data that occurred between the calibration valve open time and the calibration valve close time. The computed flow rate may be utilized to identify anomalies and provide notifications thereof.

Abstract: The hose mending device may comprise a peripheral body circumscribing a first and a second opening and a chamber intermediate the first and second opening. A seal member comprising an annular portion and the cylindrical portion is disposed within the chamber such that the cylindrical portion may receive and engage an interior surface of a conduit of a particular size.

Abstract: An enhanced seal may comprise an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion may comprise an inner cylindrical portion and an inner annular portion. The outer portion may comprise an outer cylindrical portion and an outer annular portion. The inner portion may be made of a harder material than the outer portion and may provide support to the outer portion.
