  • Patent number: 6779358
    Abstract: A water collection and dispensing machine having a primary housing with an air inlet and an air outlet, an air blower structured to draw air into the primary housing through the air inlet and push air out of said primary housing through the air outlet. The water collection and dispensing machine further includes an evaporator coil structured to cycle a cold refrigerant liquid therethrough, the evaporator coil being disposed in line with the air inlet so that the air drawn into the primary housing through the air inlet passes thereover and moisture therefrom condenses on an exterior surface of the evaporator coil so that it may be collected in the form of water droplets, filtered to eliminate contaminants, and dispensed for convenient consumption by a user.

  • Patent number: 6109050
    Abstract: To be used with a pool assembly of the type including a swimming pool, and a pool pump, a self regulating pool heater unit having a refrigeration unit structured and disposed to emit heat in order to heat a quantity of water cycled therethrough by the pool pump. Further, a power source is included and connected to the refrigeration unit, and to the pool pump through a timer. The timer has an on mode which sets a predetermined time period during which the power supplied by the power source flows therethrough to the pool pump so that it will function, and an off mode wherein no power flows through the timer to the pool pump. Additionally, an automatic timer bypass is included and connected in line between the power source and the pool pump.

  • Patent number: 5471851
    Abstract: A self-regulating swimming pool heater unit to be utilized with single or dual pump pool filtration systems, the unit including a main unit housing wherein there is contained a refrigeration unit structured and disposed to emit heat, as a byproduct of its cooling cycle, so as to heat filtered pool water passing through an internal, coiled flow through path within the refrigeration unit. The heater unit further including a plurality of internally contained single pole, double throw switches, a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth of those switches being connected in series with one another such that only when all of those switches are positioned in their normally closed position, will the refrigeration unit be able to operate. Each of those first, second, third, fourth, and fifth switches being connected to a regulating device which will cause switches to move to an open position and will cause a particular indicator light to turn on.

  • Patent number: 5415221
    Abstract: An auto switching swimming pool/spa heater system, to be utilized with a pool and a spa, including a pool pump, a spa pump, and a single heater unit, the heater unit adapted to receive water flow from the pool pump and spa pump into an internal pool/spa flow control apparatus which directs water received from both the pool pump and the spa pump through a coiled heat exchange conduit of the heater unit, for subsequent heating thereof. The flow control apparatus including a bypass conduit with a spring loaded flow regulator valve therein adapted to enable water to bypass the heat exchange conduit upon an increase pressure build up of water directed towards the heat exchange conduit, water exiting the bypass conduit and water exiting the heat exchange conduit being directed through a single water outlet of the heater unit into the spa where heated water overflow passes from the spa into the pool, accordingly heating the pool.
